What an end to the season! Darren’s team Wise Ocean PODs is etched in AFL Fantasy history with his 25-point win over Jonathon’s Fleabaggers to take out the 2023 AFL Fantasy Classic season. Darren joins the final episode of the podcast for the season to chat about how he won the Toyota HiLux.
The boys wrap up an eventful year with some highs (and lows) featured in their Fantasy Wrapped section. The Dane Swan Medal is handed out while plenty of players get a pat on the back including the final tally of the Michael Barlow Medal for the Cash Cow of the Year.
No YouTube edition this week… but look out for some videos landing for the next four weeks.
