Injury Crisis! | Strategy Round Table | AFL Fantasy Q & A #PODPOD

Fantasy Footy is back for 2026 and for many, it was a stark reminder of the torture this game puts us through… but we love it and we wouldn’t have it any other way! The game was fast, transition players feasted whilst the rucks and inside midfielders really struggled to score like we are used to. There is plenty to discuss!

In this episode, a full panel is on deck this week to review round 1. The lads discuss their rounds and the key decisions they made, talk about the key topics of Errol trade outs, trading strategy around rookie options and key players losing value as well as answering a stack of listener questions. We say it every year, the rankings at round 1 are always skewed due to rookie roulette and the real grind starts this week navigating the season and trading your way to success!

Community Series Review Ft DT Lemon #PODPOD

The tripods were out, legends were taking stats as Fantasy coaches dive into the unofficial practice matches to see which players they would like to select in their starting squads. Although we say every year that we need to be cautious with what data we extract from these games, it was good to just have footy back!

In this episode, the panel does stocks up and stocks down with every match that was played last week. Which players have increased their value and which ones have dropped off? Find out what the boys think and more!

Unofficial Practice Matches Stocks up and Stocks Down! #PODPOD

Live footy is back, unofficial practice matches are here and Opening Round is just around the corner! For months we have been researching players, looking at structures and building our AFL Fantasy squads. Today we get a look behind the curtains and get an official team reveal from Lewy who consistently finds himself at the top of the rankings!

In this episode, the panel starts with all of the hot topics that have emerged since the last podcast recording. They then go through line by line for Lewy’s team reveal, with Lewy giving in-depth knowledge on every player he has selected whilst Holmesy and Harmey quiz him on players who have missed out and the key structural questions. Lastly, the listener questions are back in 2026 so the boys dust them off and answer a bunch that weren’t answered throughout the podcast!

Lewy’s TEAM REVEAL! #PODPOD

Forwards forwards forwards… Every year we lose the gun mids with forward status yet, we are usually left with some solid value.. This year however, it feels the trickiest it has been to nail down 6 starting options that we are comfortable with in our starting squads.. To Sheez or not to Sheez? Can we pay up for premiums with an early bye? How many mid-pricers is too many? All this and more on the podcast this week!

In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the forward line. Lewy reveals his projected top 6 and the boys discuss who we can consider starting, the breakout guys are discussed in length as well as all the mid-priced guys who we may need to consider if the forward rookies don’t present. We deliberately left this position until last to analyse to provide as much up to date information as possible, so this is not one to miss!

FORWARDS! - Top 6, Breakout Contenders and Mid-Priced Value! #PODPOD

Honestly, what the ruck? Every year the rucks are one of the hardest lines to select in our AFL Fantasy starting squads. Jordy wants to “set and forget,” Lewy likes the idea of paying up for one and then finding value and Harmey genuinely has no idea where he wants to go. Come and join us as we talk all things rucks!

In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the ruck line. The lads discuss strategy and structure and whether you can or should pay up in the top tier with the impending ruck rule changes. They discuss allllllll relevant options they believe should be considered whilst chatting about whether it is viable to start a red dot rookie at R3. The decisions here will shape what money you have left to spend in other lines and is crucial in finding the balance that will set you up for success!

RUCKS! - Strategy and Structure, Top-Tier and Value! #PODPOD

It seems as though the midfield line is the last line being filled in our fantasy sides this year, with value presenting in defence and then the decisions to be made around the forwards and rucks. Some coaches are spending up in the mids, whilst others are looking at potentially 4 rookies on field! How you structure up will be crucial for success in AFL Fantasy this year! Don’t worry, the lads talk through strategy and structure as well as all of the relevant starting options in the midfield!

In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the midfield line. Jordy gives who he thinks are the top 8 averaging midfielders broken down by tiers, the panel discusses the top end premiums who they believe still present upside, under-priced premiums who can hopefully take the next step and score in-line with the top 8 and then discuss a whole bunch of listener requests.

MIDFIELDERS! - Top 8, Value Premiums and Mid-Pricers! #PODPOD

Is the defensive line going to be one of the trickier lines to pick this year? It always seems that the top end defenders are fairly or over-priced, but with so many top end premiums having an early bye to start 2026, how will you go about picking players in your defensive line?

In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the defensive line. Harmey gives who he thinks are the top 6 (15) averaging defenders, the panel discusses the top end premiums who they believe still present upside, under-priced premiums who can hopefully take the next step and score in-line with the top 6 and then discuss a whole bunch of listener requests.
