Wagmantle – 2026 AFL Fantasy Classic Champion – Ep. 896

Tyler Wagner, coach of Wagmantle, has a story to tell. He landed in first spot in the overall rankings at round 23 and had a big challenge in the final round to hold on to top spot. It looked over in the last game – West Coast v Hawthorn – as Patrick, coach of The Powerhouse, needed Jarman Impey score 63. The Hawks’ defender only scored 59 and Tyler’s squad ran out three point winners.

Incredible scenes.

The South Australian teacher joined Warnie to chat through his season that saw him win a Toyota Tundra Platinum valued at $182,000, $20,000 CRO thanks to Crypto.com and and a Toyota AFL Grand Final package for two valued at $5,500.
