Cash Cows, the AFL Fantasy rookies to pick – Ep. 842

PODCAST: Warnie ranks his top rookies.

“Rookies dictate your structure” – Dawg, Warne (2008). They’re the backbone of your AFL Fantasy Classic team and for many, they start by slotting in the best options and build the squad from there. Traditionally our cheapest players can be the most profitable cash cows that help increase team value and allows you to work towards an epic team for Fantasy finals. From the most popular selection in Jagga Smith, new draftees and the mature-age options, Warnie ranks his top five for each position.
