The Contest Fantasy Footy Show

Preseason is heating up. We go around the grounds with the latest injury updates and trackwork intel, then dive into the biggest problem facing coaches right now — a forward line short on value and rookie options. We finish by building our early starting teams and explaining our thinking. WEBSITE: https://sites.google.com/view/thecontestfantasyfooty/redraft/rankings?authuser=0 HOSTS: Jesse on X: @...

How will the new ruck rules shape AFL Fantasy this season? Which ruck archetypes have the best chance at elite production? And what could all this mean for the future of footy? Jesse chats to Vams about his deep data dive on ruckmen scoring portfolios to try and work out which types of ruckmen could be the picks in 2026.

In this episode, we break down what we actually want to see this preseason — and what we’re refusing to overreact to. Then it’s a quick-fire round table on who we’re bullish on, who we’re sceptical about, and what coaches often get wrong. Essential listening before you lock in your early Fantasy calls.
