Dust off the Fantasy team, footy’s back – Ep. 345

With Gillon’s words last Friday, Roy, Calvin and Warnie were pumped to get back in the studio and start talking Fantasy with a purpose. Footy will return on June 11 and we could not be more excited. Warnie runs through the things Fantasy coaches need to know ahead of round two as the lads map out what we should be thinking with our trades and other quirks in this ‘Coronaball’ season. Included is a song written by Ben Latham (@BeafortBeaus on Twitter) to help you understand how to understand Fantasy scoring with 16-minute quarters.

BCV Lyrics

Oink, oink, oink, oink, oink…

Verse

Coronavirus has been conquered,
And the season’s back in June.
The rules will be impacted,
Fantasy ain’t immune.

Quarters are still shortened,
From twenty to sixteen.
But do not fret, don’t delete your team,
Here’s what it means.

Chorus

BCV,
One point two five.
BCV,
Just multiply.

BCV,
80 is a ton.
BCV,
Just do the sums.

Verse

Prices go up, match the prices that drop,
Total cash stays still.
Old breakevens have been chopped,
They were overkill.

So lock up the premos, throw away the key,
Lock up the ruck pig and listen closely.
This formula is best in town,
Don’t you mess around.

Chorus
