Afl Fantasy Podcast With The Traders

THEY'RE here! The AFL Fantasy finals for 2018 have arrived. For leagues with the traditional final eight series format, the structure follows that of the AFL's in September. The top four teams have a double chance. For the round 21 qualifying finals, first plays fourth and second plays third to book a place in the round 22 preliminary finals. Losers will play a winner from the elimination finals where fifth plays eighth and sixth plays sevens. The losers of the elimination finals will start their Fantasy pre-season for 2019 next week.

Last year Tom Mitchell broke the record for the most Fantasy points scored in the season. He's on track to beat that following his 187 on Sunday afternoon. With his price back to where it started and sights set on the next record, breaking Tom Rockliff's 134.8 average from 2014, Mitchell is a set-and-forget captain week-to-week. While the Hawk's form has been outstanding, he's the most popular player in Fantasy Classic. Coaches are looking at other form players that could get them a leg up in the last round of head-to-head fixtures before Fantasy finals. There is always talk about finding a point of difference for your team to allow you to have an extra unique in your match-ups. Roy looks at his rolling best-22 players with some suggestions for each line if you'd like to take the unique route. As teams are getting set for the finals, many moves appear to be luxury as we use our allocated two trades per week. http://afl.com.au/fantasy See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Roy, Calvin and Warnie look across the relevance of the new DPPs. The boys question whether Dangerfield is a must-have as a forward considering round 17 was the first time this year he posted a score higher than his 2016/17 Fantasy average. Prioritising trades and which premiums are ripe for the picking with two weeks to go until finals. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Round 16 was a high scoring round. The weekly winner, Rick with his team The Gunners, notched up 2589 which included the late withdrawal of star defender Kade Simpson. Rick is now ranked 19th overall. Warnie was the top scorer of The Traders and he is extremely happy with efforts that has pushed him inside the top 500. There's seven weeks to go and the race is on for the car... and a cap! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While everyone's talking about LeBron to LA, we're thinking about Heeney's concussion, Fyfe's hammy and whether we choose, Narkle or Sier or both?!

Finally, the bye rounds are over and Fantasy coaches around the country are looking forward to 'normal' rounds of footy for the next nine weeks... with a sprinkling of Thursday night games. Following the three multi-bye rounds, coaches approached the challenging weeks with two things in mind; fielding 18 players each week and making their teams better without sideways trading. The Traders had that goal and, as a whole, they've achieved their aim with their nine trades. This year, Warnie is enjoying the most success of the trio. Prior to round 12, the Warne Dawgs were ranked at 2373rd and almost halved their ranking to 1203rd during the three-week stretch. Jack Macrae's injury and Jack Billings' omission were his only sideways trades, but the other seven were about moving on cash cows. His team is now down to one rookie, Tom Doedee, on the field with only a couple of underperformers he wishes to move on. If it wasn't for a sub-1600 score this week, Roy would have played the byes to perfection. The coach

We could see a record for the most traded in player this week. Tom Rockliff (MID/FWD, $545,000) is the man on everyone's mind as trades for round 11 are locked in. Things haven't exactly gone right for the Fantasy Pig since joining Port Adelaide in the off-season. Shoulder surgery meant for an interrupted pre-season and a knee injury kept him out of both JLT Community Series games. Rockliff suited up in round one, playing predominantly forward, for a score of 52. Even his greatest supporters jumped off straight away, a decision that proved to be the right one as he followed up with 33, 78 and 43 for an average of 51.5 in the first four rounds of 2018. At this point, he was $195K cheaper than his initial price. Unfortunately a slight calf strain saw him out of the senior side in round five. Rockliff needed two games in the SANFL before making his return against the Crows in the Showdown in round eight. An ancient Fantasy footy proverb states that "you can't keep a Fantasy Pig down".
