Game Day 2026 Round 2 - Gameday Thread / Discussion

[Pathetic Pittman]

Cook scaled to 62 looked headed for 38

 

[swindle]

Have to get Bont into my team before the Dogs next match against Essendon in 2 weeks time.

He could score 250 against them.

They will rest him 10 minutes in

 

[SavDog23]

Looks like Cook will be coming in next week. Phillipou most likely to make way if he is shite again.

 

[Raveneyes]

Those saying Bont was KOTD are delusional.

30 touches at 83%
14 contested
6 tackles
1 goal
Huge impact in a close last quarter when points are multiplied.

Absolute champion. First picked, and never left my team.

Cook scaled to 62 looked headed for 38

Was stuck on the wrong side of the wing, looked good when it was on his side

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Bont (vc)
English
McAndrew (EMG)
Jaques

Will take the better score of Lombard or McAndrew with white as loop. Happy.

Petracca, Ross, Grlj and Lombard (EMG) first up tomorrow.

Bruhn will be captain

 

[vanders]

9/775

4 of them are rookies so it could be worse. Dawson and Ed can go for Naicos and Bont in the next fortnight

 

[Seymour Skinner]

706k for 600 points over 2 weeks is a pretty handy return imo.

 

[NeedForTheReids]

Rest up my king Bont massive game after the bye and a good BE to get against lemme look…
ESSENDON

 

[srobbo]

Bont captain or risk it all on Xerri?

Xerri will dominate the eagles hack. 160+ bank it

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Laird as a POD looking like a fail. Getting no love from CD and showing his age with some calf soreness.

Happy otherwise.

ESSENDON

Bont could go 300 in a couple of weeks!

 

[The Golden Glenferrie]

Bont could go 300 in a couple of week!

Nope. I will have him by then so pencil in a 75

 

[Plugger35]

I was surprised to see Bont on 141 when I checked the scores although I really shouldn't be with the KOTD treatment he gets.

I guess I will have to lock in his VC score as captain even though there are some other tempting captain options to choose from.

Pretty happy with English and McAndrew too, Jaques was OK for a rookie, Budarick not great, he needs to do better for his price.

.

 

[TheDoor]

Just saw that WCE Lindsay is out. I have him on field, with the E on Sellwood. No rookies really to trade in. Don't think I'll trade anyone. Don't have the cash to trade in Fonti unless I trade someone else.

Huge impact in the last, yes. Bugger all impact in the first half, and how many guys are realistically scoring 18 for a handball? Haha.

My own fault for not starting him, but let's not pretend 45 other guys out there would've scored 18 points in that situation lol.

 

[Tigers123]

I thought English did nothing in the second half as well, his owners would be rapt with the undeserved score.

Yep I'm one of those seriously don't think he had a single HTA or even mark in the 2nd half

 

[srobbo]

Cook’s a goer. Runs hard, like’s the contest, nice shoe on him. In!

 

[SloppySkills]

Can you show me where on the doll phillipous contract hurt you?

The kid is a jet and he has a corkie. Lol.

He played 7 games last year and averaged 4 kicks and 4 handballs. Where was this jet football? He managed to played 14 games the year before and averaged 14 disposals. Apart from the occasional “hanger” he might pull in, he has done nothing.

Since when do players demand and get a million dollars a year for putting that up. For example Caleb Windsor is also in his 3rd year and played MORE footy. Imagine all of them getting a mil for producing nothing. Let’s hope he delivers because that’s Daicos type money.

 

[kyri]

600 points in 2 games of footy. im very very grateful for my perma VC

 

[Macka1203]

4/339 from an average player price of 240k. take that tbh. bont going 140 is annoying but not terrible for non owners.

edit: forgot to mention my glorious pod josh worrell. absolute jet

 

[London Pie]

Every year people complain about the Bont KOTD, every year they don’t learn and don’t start him!
As far as I’m concerned he’s a no brainer to start every year no matter cost, unless injured. 301 on two weeks easy VC option, please keep fellating him CD, make it nice and sloppy

I got him in after Gulden injury and I’ve never been more relived.

 

[Jiska]

Welcome to the team next week Mr Worrell

I wish I had 487k ITB

Bont captain or risk it all on Xerri?

Xerri
