Another traditional Friday night fixture to kick off round 7 with the glorified traffic cones taking on the Tigers at Optus… I can’t see many blokes putting their hand up as an early VC option in this game but with the rolling lockout we have flexibility and are spoilt for choice!

Team Selections – Round 7
And whaddaya know… after the early news of Grundy out for 10-12 weeks, Thursday night team selections have done nothing to soften the blow! Chances are you’ve been stitched up with some carnage with Tristan Xerri out for up to a month with a foot injury and George Hewett now confirmed out for hopefully just the 1-2 weeks after he sustained a corked calf. Combine these with rookies doing sweet FA on your bench and there is a recipe for a challenging week ahead.

Final Thoughts
Yup… we’ve got some larger than life bullets to deal with in the ruck department… however, adversity brings out the best in many of us – question is, are you and your squad up for it? Be sure to keep up to date with the final teams over at: https://www.afl.com.au/matches/team-lineups?GameWeeks=7 At least we know about Hewett now as opposed to 10 minutes before the first bounce!
Cheers legends and bring on round 7!
