Eliminate Or Be Eliminated…Gone Fishing

Quick update for the many fans out there.  Unfortunately my cocky swager caught up to me last week as TheBoneCrushers simply man handled me 2,188 to a dismal 1,867.
I could piss and moan about bad luck, me having Cox out while they brought in Sandilands, or Swans game as captain, or them bringing in Didak [...]

Eliminate Or Be Eliminated…feeling the Big Cox-equence!

I am back!  And much to the excitement of my one fan who so anxiously emailed in awaiting this weeks update (good work Petie Gill) I won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.
Lasts weeks matchup with Sreesanth Gold turned into a slobbernocker that came down to Sunday’s twighlight match,.  But in the end Gold’s luck couldn’t hold [...]

Eliminate Or Be Eliminated…and so it begins - Round 12

At the half way point of the season (well halfway point five point) it is time to kick off our classic Eliminate or Be Eliminated posts (check out last years acclaimed diary of TH’s cinderella run all the way to the final 64 here). 
This year things have changed slightly, I have unceremoniously upended TH as [...]

Eliminated It Is - Some Advice for Dream Team 09

Can you say … Gonski?
Top marks to Chappie - he gave me a right royal crunching by almost 200 points in the week where finally I ran out of gas and realised my team is far from a team of destiny. Rather than dwell on what might have been - it’s time to look [...]

WELCOME TO THE BIG DANCE…

I wish I could say we are Duke, or better yet Kansas - but the truth is, we’re more like the Davidson College Wildcats - riding our star as far into the [...]

Eliminate Or Be Eliminated - Round 15

Week 3 of this column, and to be honest, anything more than this is just gravy. To reach the last 256 is a giant surprise no doubt, but after a big 2197 earnt me a comfortable win last week, and having no injuries (touch wood) this week has me somewhat confident I can put [...]

Eliminate or Be Eliminated - Round 14

Yes! Week 2 of Eliminate or Be Eliminated and no one can take this away from me. Last week’s matchup got pretty hairy - after thinking I had the better of the matchup my opponent decided to bring in the big guns - Chad Cornes and Buddy Franklin to be exact.
Ironically - these [...]

Eliminate or Be Eliminated - Round 13

At the risk of putting the total mozza on myself, it’s time to introduce a new column to DieHardFooty – and it’s one I hope runs for many weeks to come.
My team in AFL Dream Team – Pay The Rent (there’s a great story behind the name but it’s a ‘you had to be there’ [...]
