AFL Fantasy is really starting to heat up as we got to see some televised practice matches over the weekend. The lads discuss all the biggest talking points, including Harry Sheezel, Jordan Clark, Harley Reid, Mattaes Phillipou, Nic Martin, Jack Bowes, the ramifications of Luke Parker's broken arm, and much more!

Then, five-time top-100 finisher, The Statesman, drops a team reveal ahead of the final official practice matches before Opening Round. Plenty will change ahead of the season, no doubt, but the Fossil's structure is looking fire just two weeks out!

Plus, Dossy has some news...

The Blues are always a highly fantasy-relevant team and this year is no different! But how do we navigate their awkward, opening round-bye round?

Dos, Statesman, Holmesey, and Harmey chat about how the early bye should factor into your starting squad considerations, before looking at a plethora of Carlton Blues AFL Fantasy options, including Sam Walsh, Zac Williams, Adam Cerra, Sam Docherty, Patrick Cripps, Billy Wilson, Jaxon Binns, and much more!

It's the Adem Yze era at Tigerland, and an offense-first mindset is set to kick into overdrive. Does this mean more fantasy points will be on offer or just the opposite?

Dos, Lewy, Stato, and Harmey try to figure it all out on the fly in this episode of our 2024 AFL Fantasy team preview series! There's plenty to discuss outside of the game plan as well, with the Opening Round coming into play once more, but also some spicy positional changes on the cards. 

Hear about all the hottest names including Tim Taranto, Dustin Martin, Jayden Short, Tom Lynch, Toby Nankervis, Liam Baker, Josh Gibcus, and, of course, Thomson Dow!

The lads delve into all the AFL Fantasy Classic options worth considering this year for the up-and-coming Hawthorn Football Club!

Despite being the youngest team in the league in 2023, the Hawks showed some signs of having a fantasy-friendly game style with Sam Mitchell at the helm. Will that style of game plan hold up as they look to improve this season?

The Statesman, Harmey, and Dos discuss who they think is worth considering for season 2024 and who might benefit IF Will Day isn't fit for round 1, breaking down all the biggest names including James Sicily, Jai Newcombe, Josh Ward, Dylan Moore, Josh Weddle, Connor Macdonald, Cam Mackenzie, and more!

Join Dos, Holmesy, Harmey, and The Statesman as they break down ALL the Eagles players that you should be keeping your eye on this pre-season, including:

HARLEY REID!!! Whoops, sorry – but there’s even more excitement around the #1 draft pick following the revelation that he’ll be used off half-back in a Sheezel-style role in 2024 – but other than the future GOAT, what West Coast Eagles can we pick in 2024?

The lads also explore some other names hot on fantasy coaches' radars, including Liam Duggan, Alex Witherden, Elliot Yeo (again!), Reuben Ginbey, Tom Cole, and more!

Stevie Fizz of The Draft Doctors drops by to discuss who could be in for a breakout year and dropping off in 2024! 

A salary cap player first and foremost, Stevie loves nothing more than to play salary cap, watch some cricket, and enjoy a wave of new listeners tuning into The Draft Doctors. 

On this show, with names like Sam Flanders, Tristian Xerri, Kidean Coleman, and Hayden Young already hot on fantasy radars for a breakout, we look at some names who are not being talked about as much in fantasy circles. 

Then, the recording kinda falls apart a bit for the regression section but we still managed to sneak a couple of spicey takes in. Enjoy!

The Official AFL Fantasy podcast has dropped the brand new rules for season 2024 following the AFL's bizarre decision to introduce round 0 into the mix... 

It has massive implications for AFL Fantasy coaches who now need to navigate four extra bye rounds ahead of the usual mix of mid-season byes. So, what did the AFL Fantasy platform do the help coaches navigate this mess?

Join Dos, Lewy, Holmesy, and Harmey as they discuss all the new changes and the potential new early season strategies that AFL Fantasy coaches need to think about.

We're back! The lads decide to dust off the mic to begin their attack on AFL Fantasy 2024 with a special podcast to recap the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period. 

The full POD Squad is on deck as Dos, Lewy, Stateo, Holmesy, and Harmey break down all the juiciest acquisitions and the potential fantasy implications (remembering that we're still in November!). We also reveal some of our early Blackbookers for 2024 who we think will take their game to new heights and should be firmly on your AFL Fantasy watchlist!

The AFL Fantasy season is over and we've arrived fashionably late to wrap up the season here on the PODPOD!

The lads discuss the GOATS and WOATS of season 2023, their Ben Keays Shorts 'Sh*&test Trade of the Season', and forecast the picks for 2024 that will leave you Lightyears ahead of the competition.

Thank you to EVERYONE for listening throughout the year whether you won a hat or finished 145,53nd (shout out to Steve!), it's been an incredibly fun year despite our own fantasy woes. 

We'll hopefully see you soon! In the meantime, play Footy Grid — the ultimate AFL grid game! FootyGrid.com

It's Grand Final week for AFL Fantasy coaches and the HiLux — and plenty of hats — are up for grabs! With only two trades left up our sleeves, it's the ultimate make-or-break, do-or-die, nut-crunching moment for every fantasy coach dreaming of greatness (or a spot inside the top 20k for some...). 

A duo of two-time top 10 finishers in Kyle 'Holmesy' Holmes and Jon Harmey are joined by perennial contender Lewy and perennial failure Dossy to tell you what they'd do if they were right near the pointy end this year — taking control of four of the top contenders in the PODPOD Challenge and making their trades for them.

NOTE: advice in this episode should not dictate your trades as we don't want to be responsible for anyone losing a hat or a car. We will, however, take full responsibility for any success that may come from our advice and would love to be credited as such if the Lux is won based on advice from this episode. 

A huge thanks to each and every one of you for an incredible year! Good luck in the final stressful round!

Statesman is back for another episode as we head towards the final two weeks of the season! It is do-or-die for all AFL Fantasy coaches vying for the HiLux, a hat, or bragging rights in their home league, as matchups remain key with just two games to go. 

Dos, Holmesy, and Stateo discuss the AFL's new Ryan Crowley - Finn Maginness, whose tagging prowess is putting fear through opposition players (and the fantasy coaches who own them), and take a look at who he might clamp in the penultimate fantasy round.

The Fossils Five is back for another week as the Bont's West Coast matchup has the lads salivating for a potential 200-point showing...

But that's not all! Our hot topics include whether Touk Miller's tagging role will impact coaches (positively or negatively), whether trading a highly owned player like Tim Taranto is worth it, and if jumping off worrisome PODs like Caleb Daniel is critical.

On the podcast this week, Lewy, Harmey, Holmesy, and TBD (Top Bloke Dossy) discuss all the latest AFL Fantasy rumblings as we head into the FINAL FIVE WEEKS of the season! 

Is it time to start streaming positions to get that juicy matchup-based sugar hit (we see you, Charlie Curnow!) or is it best to find a point of difference elsewhere? 

In other hot topics, injuries (and a lack of injury reporting) wreak havoc on the mental health of fantasy coaches, as those vying for a hat (or even the 'Lux) need to decide whether to tread carefully or simply go 'all in' in their bid for glory!

PLUS: Are tags going to sink some major premiums? All this and much, much more!
