The Traders sat down to record the weekly podcast soon after Gillon McLachlan announced that the season will be going ahead with 17 games as a break is expected for the coronavirus. Roy, Calvin and Warnie look at what it all means for Fantasy and give their take on it all in a very special, and unique, episode of the podcast. Warnie catches up with Harris Andrews from the Lions following their Draft day and does the same with Nick Maxwell, the commissioner of the Pies’ league. Calvin names up the best captain options and Roy reveals his best 22 for the season. Finally, plenty of questions are answered in the lead up to round one.

Anyone packed up shop and just not bothering now with this years AFL Fantasy or is it just me ?
Lost interest due to all the uncertainty and the inevitable suspension of the season and who knows what else is ahead for the game. It’s just going to be a lottery really.
2020 you may as well just wipe off for any sport now.

Just like to point out that this bloke does not represent all Williams – we need a welcome distraction like footy and fantasy

If anyone thinks the AFL isn’t shutting down for a minimum 6 weeks within the next 7 days they are deluded. If you think the AFL survives this when the NBA or EPL doesn’t you are off with the fairies.

To top it all off, there’s Influenza A going around a certain Mid-West town in WA, so hopefully when the COVID19 gets through – the locals aren’t too compromised with their immune systems already.
It’ll be interesting, and I hope that when this is all seen through and we’re seeing it with rose coloured glasses in the rear-view mirror that the AFL will have chosen the right path.
Apart from that – game on.

I don’t listen to podcasts but I thought there’d more discussion concerning season shortening.
I have drastically changed my team and conventional thinking wont do the job.
For one the byes probably wont happen.
When the going gets tough…..

Theres alot of talk about shorter quarters? Do we look at not starting with players like grundy whos over 900k as he won’t hit his b.e and prices of all the top guys will drop significant?

Help please fantasy peeps. I let my draft autotrade for most my draft unfrotunately and trying to pick up the scraps (picked up taranto and beams which was great).
Trying to pick between the following forwards:
Finlayson, Mihocek or Ryder.
Leaning towards ryder with DPP but not sure.
