We take you through our Brownlow voting, we also look at who was our flop of the week! Cash cows are a big talking point, and there are a lot of good rookies out there making cash currently, and a few debuts this week to look at. We go over our tipping for the week and the slo...

Back with the preview from Round 2, where we go through game by game of how fantasy relevant players faired in Round 2 of the 2025 AFL season.

We go through Round 1 game by game to give you a run down of who did well from a fantasy standpoint.

100th Episode! If you're paying attention it's numbered the 101st episode, but we missed North Melbourne's pre season team review last year due to technical difficulties, so that makes this the real 100th episode! We are back with Brownlow votes, flop of the week, cash cows, and much much more, as well as who we are thinking of looking to get in and out in our trades for this week.

We take a look at the upcoming round 1, we chat about one player we are each looking out for from each of the games coming to you over the next 4 days of footy. These players are either players currently in our team, or players we are considering and just want to see if the scores or role is there before we pull the trigger on them.

AFL is BACK for 2025! Officially we have real scores, and real data to go off for another season! While we don't see any scores that will effect anyones standings, there's still a lot to talk about. We review players scores from the two games, and talk about anyone we think you should be considering from the 4 teams who've made their start to the season.

We are back for the final wrap up of Pre Season before we get into a Semi-Opening Round. Unfortunately both Queensland games have been cancelled for Opening Round, and on top of that, you'll notice we are missing one of our regular hosts as well. Anyway we talk about Opening Round and how the AFL could maybe plan better for these events later, the main thing we wanna know is, who did well, an...

Since there are a lot of talking injury talking points, we thought we'd give a bit of a wrap up of the current injuries, and how you should approach these injures.  We talk about other options, and also players who might see better roles due to these injures. 23 ACL related injures right now, that it a big deal.

We are back to chat about the Wednesday AFL Preseason game results! We bring you the latest in talking points from a AFL fantasy lens of the Cats vs Bombers, and the Tigers vs Pies games. A few notable injuries from the last week coming to you in the Pre Season injury report, dropping next. Be sure to continue on with that wrap up after this episode. #AFLfantasy #AFL #PreSeason #Bombers #Cats #Tig...

We are back looking what has happened so far in our practice matches, and injury reports up to Wednesday the 19th of February. That includes, the Bombers surprise win over the Dogs, Josh's new team the Eagles beating the Tigers in the wooden spoon battle, and the Cats dismembering of the Hawks. The boys talk who looked good, who under performed, and who we still need to keep an eye on from th...

We are back with the mids for our own fantasy teams for 2025. Our first player, with Ryan as the exception, comes from Freo, but Josh and Hawko have gone for a different option to Croxy. We continue to take you through our whole midfield, and bench, from M1 to Utility. As usual Ryan has some questionable choices, but he does present some value picks...  As well as the obvious picks, we also look a...

We are back, we recorded this episode a while ago but tbh, I've been lazy on the uploads... Hawk thinks that either Josh or Croxy will be criticised for their rucks, because Hawk was criticised for his defence, Ryan was criticised for his forwards, and it now time for someone else to be given shit.  The boys think Croxy has the worst line up but he gives some good insight into the why behind...

We are back, and for some reason Ryan decides to try and run the intro... Leave it to Josh Ryan... In this episode we are looking at our teams with positional reviews of who we have in our teams, and who we also think are options up front in 2025. Some big talking points, and there are a few, 3 total forwards that are on all of the boys teams so far. We also talk about injuries, and who we can see...

The hosts, Josh, Hawko, Ryan, and Croxy take us over their defensive line ups so far for the 2025 season.  Big news so far is that Keidean Coleman won't be around for the first few rounds, who will the boys pickup to replace him? We also let you know who they have and why, and discuss other options you could potentially go for down back for the upcoming 2025 season. We also talk Ryan's f...

The final 2025 team preview, the top dogs from regular season, the Sydney Swans. These guys were probably not predicted to do as well as they did last season. We talk about how, a bloke like Heeney, who has burned Josh time and time again, bossed the midfield and almost went and ran away with the Brownlow. We do the standard chat about our best overall from 2024, who was the breakout, and who bust...

We are back, and Josh is pumped up to talk about the POWER. The runners up during regular season, Port Adelaide had a fair bit of movement in their list this season, with the big mover, Dan Houston, leaving the Power for the Pies. We talk all the rest of the ins and outs, and move onto who performed well in the 2024 season, and who was a bust! Next we chat about options from a fantasy lens going i...

The boys are back, minus Ryan, who's down in AFL country (Melbourne). The other three are here though, to talk the Geelong Football Club, and everything fantasy relevant, and also some not so relevant banter. The Cats finished third last season, and while they did absolutely pummel the team who came in second on the table, they couldn't make it past the eventual premiers in the Prelimina...

Back with the first of the Sydney teams, Greater Western Sydney! A bit to talk about, the package has arrived in Sydney, but it's not a contract year so we don't see big things happening here... GWS had more bigger outs than ins, with Issac Cumming, James Peatling, Nick Haynes, Harry Perryman all leaving the Western Sydney Suburbs... We talk top player, no big surprises who we unanimousl...
