The Contest Fantasy Footy Show

This week, we step into the Emergency Room — where AFL Fantasy teams are in critical condition and urgent decisions need to be made.

We triage each line of our sides like a medical team under pressure: identifying which areas are stable, which are in need of urgent attention, and which players need to be cut immediately. From minor knocks to full‑blown emergencies, we categorise the issues shaping our teams and prioritise the fixes that matter most heading into the next round.

This week on the AFL Fantasy podcast, we break down the big questions heading into another crucial round of trades and team selection.

🏉 We discuss what coaches should do with Archie Roberts a round before his bye with Zach Merrett confirmed to play half back.

📋 We react to team release and chat through the implications of a missing Cogs and rookie inclusions!

🔄 In Trade Therapy, we talk through our own trade plans, strategy dilemmas, upgrade targets, and answer listener questions to help you navigate the round.

Plenty of AFL Fantasy strategy, trade chat, rookie talk, and chaos as we head into another massive week of the season.

Instead of naming the obvious guns, we break down what we actually want our AFL Fantasy sides to look like heading into the back half of the season.

From reliable premiums to the right value picks and upgrade timing, we map out the blueprint for a strong final team before diving into the key Round 14 trade targets. We cover the players rising up the priority list, potential strategy pivots, and the moves that can set your season up for a big run home.

This week, we discuss what needs to happen to get our teams back on track. Kman is feeling optimistic, while Jesse is hoping his premiums begin to compete.

We discuss philosophy - sideways trading versus upgrading, and the benefits of each. Plus, we answer your listener questions!

Unfortunately, we were stung by team release this week, but what's AFL Fantasy without a bit of chaos?

This week, Kman is feeling under the weather, so Jesse is joined by Bails to tier rank the top trade targets of Round 13!

With many coaches needing a forward, who is the right man to select between Petracca, De Goey and Jason Horne-Francis?

Plus, is this the right week to jump on Jordan Dawson, or are there better options with byes still to come...?

This week on Trade Therapy, we chat through the importance of sticking with your convictions instead of chasing the crowd.

With byes, looping, and late-season flexibility becoming crucial, we also tackle the growing issue of red dots and why fixing your non-playing rookies might be more important right now than sideways trading another midpricer.

Plus, we answer a stack of listener questions covering trade plans, upgrade targets, and plenty more AFL Fantasy chaos.
