We were stoked to have AFL Fantasy open up last week with the earliest launch the game has seen! Roy, Calvin and Warnie jumped back in the studio to chat through their initial thoughts including Calvin’s first cut of his team. Darren Carr, coach of Wise Ocean PODS, gives some tips after being the 2023 AFL Fantasy Classic champion. Plenty of your questions are answered in a bumper episode to help you get set up prior to Christmas.

If anyone sees this ( unlikely) what u think of my team
Here is the team
I like it. I’m also hoping Oraaaaaaazio can sit on my bench and make some coin b4 he gets injured after 5 games.
Early byes round may cause you a few issues.
Good Luck
It looks like it is possible to start the year with 4 or less on field rookies. I’ve currently got 4 but can see ways of going less.
Compliments of the season Greg. Hopefully see you in a league or 3 when the RDT season begins.
