The Contest Fantasy Footy Show

Opening Round is almost here, and it’s time to confront the toughest decisions in our starting squads. In this episode of The Contest Fantasy Footy Show, we break down the most challenging picks heading into Round 1 — the players who keep us up at night, the roles we’re still unsure about, and the picks that could make or break the early season.

In this episode, we dive deep into the AFL’s rookie landscape and unpack the hype of first‑year players. Using three years of curated data, we break down the patterns behind rookie selection, the traps we keep falling into, and the surprising trends hiding beneath the surface.
We challenge the overuse of first‑year rookies, explore why they’re more volatile than people realise, and highlight which development pathways actually translate to early AFL success.
