We are now getting down to the pointy end of the awesome concept that has been running for the last two years, The Eliminator!

We started with over 130,000 teams and now, half by half, teams have been knocked out and we are down to our final 512. Are you one of these? Hopefully we have a few left here in the DT TALK community to root for over the next few weeks… because none of us blokes are left in it!

Tell us how you’re looking and also any hard luck stories… like mine where I got eliminated the weeks I went to 14th in the whole world… gutted!

On this week’s episode of DT TALK we had the discussion on what the “magic number” of weeks someone would be out for to warrant trading them. We came to a bit of a consensus of three. Now, Matthew Pavlich sits in that range. Could be 2… could be 4. So, let’s call that 3!

75,641 of us have him… if you don’t, then I’m not sure what you have been thinking this year. People’s opinions and situations will differ here, like with the amount of trades left, the quality of the bench cover and other players/spots that need to be fixed up, but what would you do?

UPDATED - All teams and squads in for Thursday!

Few big dudes back into the fix this week. We see Leon Davis and Pendle return for the Pies and of course the big ones being… Pav Out, Kerr Out, Cox still out, Taylor Walker out, Gia out injured, Beau Muston out and the axe looks like it has been swung at Carlton… Nick Stevens and Heath Scottland out. Bugger hell, waste of time thinking during the week about trades when they dump this on us!! - ALL this stuff will discussed when DT TALK goes live at 8.30 tonight! Join us for a full team review and chat!

Ask anyone who their favourite Mortal Kombat character is and the answer is sure to be one of the fighters from the first game in the series: ninja heroes Sub-Zero or Scorpion, probably, or maybe they were a Liu Kang man. Some of my mates were even on the Raiden bandwagon, taking him in to a battle to the death despite the fact that he wore a wok on his head. Street Fighter is similar, with the coolest characters featuring in SF1 (Ryu and Ken) and 2 (Blanka, Guile, Zangief and Chun-Li, for example). It’s a rare occasion, then, when a character who debuts late in a series finds popularity among the fans, but it does happen. Mortal Kombat’s mustard-coloured cybernetic ninja Cyrax is one such example. The dread-locked cyborg who dropped bombs from his guts became one of the stars of Mortal Kombat 3 with his Slice ‘n’ Dice fatality and black blood.

Righteo… BOO YEAH!! Last week we had 1,128 people vote in Calvin’s Captains where we saw 28% of the coaches following my #1 pick of Dane Swan… and he did not let us down with a HUGE 158! This week is a little tougher, with the huge game of the Cats Vs the Saints we have guns Vs guns and quality Vs quality. Tough call with our bigs guns this week, and that’s why I’m here to help. Good luck!

Hey DT Talk, cheers for that free bet last week, put it on Hawkins first goal. You guys got me a grand! I was gonna put it on Fev for the first goal on Friday night so was spewing when that happened. Then I was watching the game on afl.com.au, seeing the line go to full forward i was like CARN HAWKINS then pretty much stripped naked and ran down the street.

Stay tuned and see if you can be a winner!
