Captains 2026 Round 7 VC/Captain

[Orange crush]

Grundy into Gawn

 

[JuddgementDay]

I don’t have the late loops to do what I want, so got to keep it simple

VC Naicos
C Jackson

 

[Blues177]

VC Gawn
C Nicos

 

[Axly]

Grundy or Heeney into Gawn

Prob Grundy with no English at this stage.

 

[Nelso]

My non playing loop is Kalani White. All my other players are playing at this stage.

Melbourne play on Friday night.

Only option if I want to use the loop is to make Bont VC on Thursday night. Don't really want to do that as Bont is on one leg.

So my options are limited as I really want to make Gawn VC but then I have no one to make a non playing captain.

 

[1989]

Grundy into Gawn.

Don't want to take a 130 and miss out on a 170 though.

 

[Exambolor]

C/VC will be tough this week as my bench will be playing plus my sole red dot plays on Saturday and I have no one to VC in the first two games other than McInerney. If Dovaston gets dropped it makes things easier to loop.

McInerney might be worth a punt regardless against a depleted Dogs. I've got Baz and Naicos as C options anyway

He meant to say more in the Hawks forward line and taking all the kick ins.

 

[AFDogs]

Heeney into Jackson now.

 

[Northernsoul74]

All I know is I won’t be fecking using ZZ as a loop again. Yes I’m still bitter.

I think i have too

Pray for Darcy Fort to be back (certainly not on my bingo card for 2026)

 

[The Tip Jar]

Just Gawndy.

 

[weltschmerz]

Grundy drops a 250 against the Lachie Smith and Louis Emmett pairing.

 

[Boyd oh Boyd]

Heeney into Gawn

Gee willikers, thanks Isaac. Good use of a 630k to get 102 before you decide to skip town.

Bont into Gawn. If Bont knocks out a 200 on one leg then I'm laughing, and in the teeny tiny chance he doesn't I have a pretty safe backup.

Yeah, that’s what I thought last week. Didn’t work out so well though!

 

[Chucks]

Going Grundy into Gawn or Daicos. Loophole done correctly? (Assuming Sharp doesn't play)?

And then Rupert Murdoch just takes Sharp's spot, correct?

Easier to use White. Move Gawn to the bench and put the C on White. Then just swap White for Gawn if Grundy doesn't score enough.

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

VC: Gawn
C: Naicos or Jackson. Kind of tempted to go with Serong - reckon he is due for one of his 150+ games, but I doubt I have the stones. Would have made a better VC

Same but Im going Richards

Cheers! Can I still use this method if I decide on Daicos as my VC instead?

Yes.

Doing a captain loop is easier in the ruck line, even if not using a rick for the VC/C. Less complicated with fewer players.

You and me both

 

[Scythe]

Yes.

Unless you have ZZ

 

[Blind Turn]

For the first time in years I have reached this point in the season with no guaranteed zero scorer. Can’t safely loophole Grundy to Daicos because Scerri is emerg and I’d have to take his pissy little score as captain if he got a late call-up. Just have to back Grundy in against the weak Dogs ruck contingent.
