Game Day 2026 Round 7 Discussion

[Jiska]

ROUND 7 – NOW WE’RE COOKING (AND IT’S NOT GOOD)

So… this is where it starts to get messy.

The big one.
Bont.

Owned by every serious team, and now “questionable”. Classic. If he misses this week, there’s every chance it turns into two. And suddenly you’re staring down a 100k drop.

Trade him?
Hold him?
Pretend you’ve got a plan and panic anyway?

You can sideways him. But who are you actually confident in right now?

This is one of those calls that feels massive either way… and you just know whatever you pick will be wrong.



Meanwhile…

Sicily and Moore both out after deciding to be gutless cowards gut punching blokes off the ball. Brilliant.

Rookie watch, because we’re going to need them. On the bubble:

• Angry Anderson
• Will Hayes
• Sullivan Robey
• Sampson Ryan

Cash gen shaky.
Premos dropping.
Suspensions flying.
Injuries everywhere.
Many are down to mid-20 trades left.
And we’re not even a third of the way in to the season.

Strap in.

Trading in ultimate burn man Tsatas after last year

 

[Jiska]

Only worth 79 points? Those HTA are worth 50 alone!!

 

[Deliverance]

Give me 227 this week and all is forgiven

 

[AFDogs]

The big one.
Bont.

Owned by every serious team, and now “questionable”.

Ranked 1,600 and no Bont. Am I not serious enough for you?

His parents should have named him Max McAndrew and he would have gotten 100 for those hitouts.

This bloke has been scored poorly all season.

 

[stevebbb]

Gawndy will score 525-575 combined this week

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I'm ranked slightly higher ....and I don't have Pedlar ....just shows, it can be done without the stars

No one will remember your name until you Roughie some campaigner

 

[tigland]

can we count my team as a bye? Would really appreciate best 18

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Could be a tough week if Bont is a late out and Butters gets tagged into oblivion by Mullins.

 

[54Dogs]

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

$99k mid only

[Maybe Tomorrow]

GWS the best banter

 

[A Bit Dusty]

He will be straight out again when Taranto is back from concussion.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

He will be straight out again when Taranto is back from concussion.

Playing small forward in the VFL?

 

[Scythe]

He will be straight out again when Taranto is back from concussion.

Bold to assume Richmond won't have seven more injuries by then

 

[toxic]

 

[Saints4ever]

Heeney out.

You can’t make this crap up

 

[TasSixer]

Heeney and potentially Bont out, Butters tagged into oblivion. Carnage round coming up.

 

[Petrify]

Heeney might be the first premo injury I've actually dodged this year. Wow this is how it feels

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Trading Bont is really the play, but I've already used 7 trades on injuries/suspensions.

If that was 1 or 2 it would work.
