Afl Fantasy Podcast With The Traders

Andrew Brayshaw finished last season with the most points. Will he back it up in 2023? The midfied mix is interesting with the inclusion of Draft sleeper Jaeger O'Meara. Where should we take Nat Fyfe in Draft? Are there any cash cows? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

The inclusion of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper are big talking points, but more so Calvin's worry about the lack of Fantasy tons delivered at the Tigers over the last five years. Maybe there's upside in Dustin Martin or we could see Jayden Short head to defence again? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

The Dogs have the most top end talent with six players averaging more than 100 Fantasy points per game last year. Warnie sells Jack Macrae as a starter while Bailey Smith and Marcus Bontempelli are also options in the midfield. Toby McLean is the must-have from the kennell thanks to his discount and ton in the elimination final. Oh, and who can forget about the No. 1 ruck int he game for 2023, Tim English. Plenty of relevance. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook. Follow @AFLFantasy on Twitter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Roy's turn to talk about the club he loves. The pre-season surgery for Sam Walsh is a big talking point as Adam Cerra could be a beneficiary, considering how under-priced he appears to be. Lock in Sam Docherty as your D1. What else is there to say? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Ross Lyon is back on board with the Saints and there are a few questions about how they'll line up. There is no bigger question than whether Rowan Marshall will be the solo ruck. If he is, then lock-and-load. If he isn't, then stay away. Warnie is laughed at for suggesting Brad Hill. According to Roy, both Jack Steele and Jack Sinclair will be members of the Rollin' 22.  Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Connor Rozee and Zak Butters both have FWD status and will be names talked about all season. Can both be top six forwards? Scott Lycett is a discounted ruck worth watching this pre-season. Maybe there is a case for an under-priced Ollie Wines, even though he had off-season surgery. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

You can't look past Touk Miller as a premium and he could be a great starting option for your squad after dropping more than 10 points off his average last year. Plenty of names are discussed including the dual-position tempters in Brandon Ellis and Jed Anderson, a 'safe' ruck in Jarrod Witts and some old favourites like Brayden FIorini, Connor Blakely and Matt Rowell.

The Hawks could be wooden spooners due to their rebuild which is an old-school one. There are spots up for grabs which could be great for cash cows and those with increased opportunity. James Worpel offers plenty of value as do some of his fellow midfielders. Look for James Sicily to be around the top defenders as the ball will be back there a bit while Dylan Moore could be a top six forward. Click here for more content from The Traders.

Rory Laird is the highest priced player in Fantasy Classic. Do we start with him? Is he the No. 1 pick in Fantasy Draft? Calvin looks at his Crows and discusses other options such as Reilly O'Brien who could be one of the top rucks and relieves some memories of last year so he doesn't select someone despite his value.

Essendon has the only player in the league who has averaged 100+ since 2016. That man, Zach Merrett, should be one of the top midfielders again in 2023. Warnie runs through some value options such as Will Setterfield and Andrew McGrath in a bumper episode of this mini-podcast series of club previews. Click here for more content from The Traders.

Could Stephen Coniglio be the top forward this year? One of The Traders think so. With midfield spots opened up due to departures of some players, the boys run through who could be good Fantasy options in 2023 for both Classic and Draft.

There's plenty of value in Dom Sheed this year with his discount, but it could be Elliot Yeo who ends up with higher ownership thanks to his DEF status. The most selected Eagle is set to be Campbell Chesser and with good reason. Calvin runs through all his favourite West Coast players, including Andrew Gaff.

Just three Kangaroos averaged more than 78 points in 2022. Jy Simpkin and Luke Davies-Uniacke are likely to be solid premium performers, while the Aaron Hall is a buyer beware. The Traders chat through other key players such as underpriced MID/FWDs in Ben Cunnington and Tarryn Thomas.  Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.
