The PODPOD - AFL Fantasy Podcast

Live footy with stats was back, Fantasy coaches were glued to the screen gathering the last information on offer before the AFL Season kicks off. Some sides felt like full dress rehearsals whilst others have one eye open towards Opening Round this week. How do we decipher what is real and what is not? We recruit special guest DT Lemon, 3 x hat winner and top 400 finisher 5 years running to help set you up for the AFL Fantasy Season!

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!

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!

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!

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!
