Thanks, good to know! The Daily Mail has indeed picked it up as well.

Hmm

 

So, did Elias make that Drop 40, a big worry for a few of us now,

[msc 18,437]

I'm more hopeful Vervoort didn't make the Drop 40, tbh!

[Joey Russ 7,220]

If Vervoort doesn’t make the drop 40, then the few people who didn’t joker her will be at an advantage imo. Of course, I’m hoping for the opposite since I did joker her, but it’s going to be close...

*nods*

 

And why do you think I'd like her to avoid the Drop  40? Other than it being a bit ghoulish of course.

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Well, she’s going to be on at least 26 teams this (I counted how many times she appeared on a team), and she’s probably going to appear on more teams that aren’t necessarily on the forum. If she somehow doesn’t make the drop 40 though, I’ll congratulate you, RadGuy, and anyone else who decided against jokering her...

[msc 18,437]

Oh if she gets on by one team, you can have a hearty laugh at my expense for that B-team inclusion.

That'll be your 100th Derby Dead Pool hit!

[msc 18,437]

Hmm, Elias is my 47th DDP hit, all time. I mean, it's not quite 100, but I'll be interested to see who is number 50 all the same!

[Joey Russ 7,220]

Elias makes it 13 total hits for me so far, though I'm only in year 2 of this. I think I'll definitely reach 100 hits by my tenth year of this though...

[Toast 16,130]

She is my 70th hit, not counting theme teams.  71 if we include the non-obiting joker from 2011.  Bitter, moi?

[Death Impends 7,957]

Just checked mine. Elias #62 for me. Guessing 2020 or 2021 will see my 100th hit.

 

Looking at the stats and facts page and the 2017 hits, Banshees crossed the century threshold last year and Deceased Hose looks a good bet to do so this year.

[gcreptile 10,964]

If I cheat, and count all my teams together, then Rayya Elias and Thomas Monson are hits 64 and 65 for me.

 

The Love Boat in its 4th year is now at 31 hits.

I think you have a right to be bitter there, she should have got an obit and likely would 100% nowadays with the Guardian chasing the Oz market.

Jim Anderton (Former NZ MP and Deputy MP) died today. He was at least in two of my teams. No QO yet, and there's probably only an outside chance of one. I'm going away from the next 7 days on voluntary work, so if anyone sees anything, check it in. Cheers!

 

Would have been #1 on a NZ Franchised Deathlist, for the record.

[Torva Messor 278]

Rayya Elias is my first hit ever on the Derby Dead Pool, and on some others offered here (in signature).   

 

 

[FixedBusiness 407]

I remember Bert saying something about Rayya completely evading him during last years DDP. This is similiar to me: I just completely forgot to add Rayya on any of my teams, but had her for a couple other DP's and when she died and I went back to see my teams just to see she wasn't there, I gave myself a giant facepalm.

[Heef 166]

I didn't pick Rayya Elias as I'd never heard of her before she appeared on here. Not in the slightest. I'm not a fan of picking people I'd never heard of at all.

Some mentioned in the past pages the Alan Deakin was a hit for them. No QO yet, but thought I'd mention it just in case Spade wants to add List of the Lost people to his first update as well.
