Round 8…. What…was….that!!!??? Carnage, carnage, carnage! Beginning with a Connor Rozee sub on Thursday night, coaches thought things couldn't get any worse and boy were they wrong! Tom Green, Zac Williams, Elliot Yeo and Jye Caldwell all headline a number of popular premiums that found themselves injured, with Jordon Sweet adding himself to that list on Wednesday. There were bullets everywhere and it has left coaches wishing they were playing other formats that have access to trade boosts....

Round 7 saw a mixed bag for coaches, with many good teams copping bullets whilst others remained steady on their rise towards a top 100 cap. Fantasy jets such as Jack Steele and Rowan Marshall are shells of their former selves off the back of injuries, Tom Powell has been shunted to the forward line and many rookies and mid pricers times are coming to an end. For coaches in good spots, it's time to attack!! Whilst other coaches find themselves in a hole desperately hoping to find a way to...

Just like that, round 6 is over and the bye rounds have come to a conclusion. There were two types of coaches this week… Coaches lucky enough to be on the end of some monster premium scores from players like Dawson, Xerri and Grundy… And coaches who found their teams crumbling with sub par scores from Saints players, North players, Luke Jackson and basically any player that Holmesy had on field. With round 7 approaching and a return to a best 22 format, coaches who have planned well and kept...

What a rollercoaster of emotions AFL Fantasy threw up for coaches in round 5. Many coaches got off to an absolute flier with a Max Gawn vice captaincy and it seemed coaches were in for a big one! However, just 24 hours later this was flipped on its head with popular premium Marcus Bontempelli putting up his worst score since 2015!! It didn't get much better from there with other popular premiums Dawson, Sarong and Green all putting up scores that have coaches wishing they hadn't forked out...

Gather Round has been and gone and what a crazy week we had for AFL Fantasy with a return to a best 22 team. Popular rookies such as Sharp, Reid and Dempsey ensured that coaches with a 'guns and rookies' approach kept their season rolling in the right direction, with many monster scores from popular premiums such as Bontempelli, Rozee and Sheezel meaning there were some monster scores from coaches that were able to pull away from the pack!! With two weeks of best 18 systems to go including...

Round 3 saw some monster scores from some popular premiums that had coaches licking their lips as they witnessed their rankings leap towards hat territory. Nick Martin went BANG, Max Gawn reminded everyone of his ability as the number one ruck, Riley Bonner had a big ton and other popular premiums like Sheezel, Heeney and Steele continued their ripping form to start the year. However, it was a round of some incredible lows as well with many popular first year rookies and mid-pricers putting...

A week is a long time in AFL Fantasy!! Many popular premiums such as Tom Green, Caleb Serong, Harry Sheezel and Jack Steele continued their hot run of form to start the season and rewarded owners for paying up big! However, it was not all positive with players such as NICK DAICOS???!!!, Jai Newcombe, Rowan Marshall and Karl Amon making owners question why they put themselves through playing this torturous game!! Never fear, Harmey, Holmesy and Lewy are here to guide you through the important...

Round one is done and dusted and months of pre season planning was thrown out the window…Grundy flopped, Xerri flew and many rookies have got our cash generation off to a massive start! Many round 0 premiums continued on their merry way, with Tom Green, Issac Heeney and Nick Daicos all rewarding owners with massive scores!! With other popular premiums like Bontempelli and Dawson making owners regret paying up the big bucks!!! Where do we go from here?? Many coaches have found themselves with...

Round zero is complete and it's thrown us a few curve balls bound to ruin the months of planning and preparation we've put in this pre-season. Isaac Heeney F1? Lachie Whitfield D1? Tom Green must-have?! Nick Daicos full-time mid!!! Erol Gulden's a dud????!?!? Overreactions are flowing after the first four games of 'round zero' but we must keep a cool head to maximise our chance for the Lux! Holmesy, Lewy, and Harmey are here to guide you on the home stretch ahead of your journey to hat...

The reigning Premiers were also home to one of the most exciting AFL Fantasy prospects of all time, Nick Daicos.  Following an incredible rookie year and backing it up in year two, the third-year stud is currently 50% owned by the competition. Is this too high considering their opening-round bye? Is it too low considering he's looking like the clear D1?  Dos, Harmey, and Lewy break down all things Nick Daicos, then look at a bunch of other potential options at the Pies, including Jordan De...

The Brisbane Lions fell agonisingly short of taking the ultimate glory in 2023, but from an AFL Fantasy perspective, they cause some agony of their own for fantasy coaches.  Only one player (Josh Dunkley) averaged over 100 at the Lions, while the reigning Brownlow Medalist averaged sub-100 despite playing an intrinsic role in the dominant Lions engine room. The lads discuss the gross early Lions bye, plus touch on all the relevant players, including Keidean Coleman, Josh Dunkley, Hugh...
