[Cheering] Welcome to the official AFL Fantasy podcast with The Traders. Get out with the Traders, I'm Roy, I coached Destroyer, and I'm here with Morning Coach of the Wondos. And Kevin Hoach of Calaminator. Boys, let's see, we saw a bit of real footage. Yeah, we did. We were real, real, real, real, real. Oh, quite liked it. It was good. But we are moving into some praki games and things like that. We are, I hate to say it, I overuse this a little bit, but we go up one more time. We don't. We don't, we don't, we don't. Kevin, you turn it up a notch for something crazy on the weekend. You had a super early draft. Yeah, I know. February 14th, Happy Valentine's Day. Thank you. Oh, no. Listen, have we had, when was that? No. Oh, I wonder I'm in the doghouse again. One of the boys had to leave draft early to get back for Valentine's Day. Oh, I know what. And I want my hates the doghouse. I'm going to go ahead and team Kevin out of it. I dominated it. So it's a 12, it's a 12 blog league. 11 of the air, three peak. 11 of the 12 were there and we had a big two nighter down at the beach down in Hawley. So that's fun. It is always an upside cracker. You had pick 11, Kevin, you took Rosie. I did. So we had big deal with number 42, Hat winner from last year. The community hat. Right. He was out to me. So we went back to back picks. Oh, yeah. So we stealing each others at some time. So yeah, I went Rosie. That's dangerous. You two at the back end of a draft. That's a good spot to be. It is. We're elite. I like having a look at your draft board. I've got it in front of me at the moment. Right. Tim English went at peak five, which I don't hate. But then did the boys just panic? They did. They did it in a row. So beforehand, I like to stand up and give them. You know, I've got to, I'd pay money to watch these. I don't know. I just said this and Bit of Uncertainty at the moment around. Miki, O'Brien, my boy, sweetie. You know, there's all Bit of Uncertainty about their row. Yeah, I didn't mention Marshall, obviously. And they panic. They panic. So when they saw English and Grundigo, they just went holy hat. And then Chambot with the AI system, failed him again. Maybe not. So that went there. And then interesting throughout. I think any other surprises for you on the daycare. Well, your guys are pretty switched on. They are. They love it. So they had no real secret. And they did it without a draft kit this year. So that was a little bit challenging for them. That will hopefully be out soon. But no, it was, I think we did, I think we did well. And a big year coming up. I was getting messages from people within that draft. Oh, yeah. Can't tell you a hurry of it. No, okay. I don't think they were backing in your pep talk. Is that what you're coming to me? Is that right? That is right. So the pausing the draft feature is really, really good. Especially if the guy, he wasn't in the room. So he didn't know what happened. So he's drafting from home with his kids. So when it got to his turn, I just pause it. And he'd start messaging him. I'd stop and stop. Anyway, that's good for a total out-gale. A bee break and also a funny guy. He's a fun guy. He's a two-know-you-mach. He had pick one. Melered gumboots. That's killer. Yeah, so he went forward, forward. So he's a good pick one. And then when it came all the way back around, got the next forward off the board, which was Petraco. He's a strategy. I didn't mind it that. I didn't mind how he got with his third forward in around eight with Brent Daniels. Oh, that's it. Wait a round it out. Yeah, you know what he's doing. He does. Right, yeah. That was that then Saturday night. Did you have your draft done before Origin started? Yeah, we did. Yeah, that was awesome. It was very good. Of course, awesome. It was just like watching a BBC team run around out there. Oh, so this is great. Wearing. Had to be a coat and plaid. Didn't that? So that it wrecked it for me. I had to turn it off for a quarter. Was that upset? A couple of injuries there out of it. I guess wearing's one. Yes. You've also got just a few iced guys are wrecked. Yeah. Like Sam Taylor. Yeah. He's something more than just needing to ice his, uh, his cuff. Yeah. Oh, he's hamstring. I think it was for him. It's all stuff that could have happened in many ways. Of cracking ice. Of course. Of course. Matt Rao had a bit of a finger, but I think that's okay. But the other one was Max gone. Hmm. So apparently some hamstring had a, a scan before the game, but wanted to play. And we said nothing there. Oh, no. So that's an interesting one. That is, isn't it? Yeah, okay. But scoring wise, we don't, we take nothing out of this game. We take nothing out of this game. Speak for yourself. However. Nick Decoce, 149. Oh, wow. We didn't win the medal as well. Well, of course. He was doing good. 38 disposal's, nine marks, five tackles for him. Even kicked a snag in that. He just looked good. He's playing against the best players in the competition. Yes. But still looked better. Yeah. In the world. In the world. So you can take nothing out of it. Or you can take something out of it. He's better again. Like he was next level, next level. He's good, because he didn't get the medal. Yes. This could be another little revenge season for Nicklaus. He's already so good that he's like, let's, we love our NBA references. Back in the day where it just became too easy to give LeBron MVP. Yep. That's what they're doing with Nick. Oh, great. Poor guy hasn't even got brown nose yet. And he's like, nah, too good. Poor, unpredictable. He was amazing dog. Like he was next level. So we can't take too much out of it. The thing is though, his act button was epic as well. I was no part of that that you're not picking him as well, because we had him locked in from day one. I don't think he leaves there as well. He does not. But what we did want to watch was probably the rules. Again, I don't think we could take too much out of this game with the rules. There was a bit of a, the last disposal out of bounds, but that came off of foot as well. That was a weird one as well. I didn't know that was part of the rule. But I don't think we saw anything of that. Just because the players are so good. Yeah. Like it wasn't a normal game of football. This was that circle work. This was seeing the elite do elite things. Yeah. And like I saw, I noticed a little bit of that in the rocks. Like inside Tim English, for example, if you are running out of defense for the Bulldogs and you see big Timmy there, you hit him up. But if you see big Timmy there and Bailey Smith and Nick Dikoss and Zach Barters, big Timmy's not. You're not kicking us out. So what did you get out of the ranks, Kale? This is a thing. You had big dogs up against big dogs and you were big dogs. This is the other part of it. You've actually got teams playing with two rucks and they're not just. No. I really could rock and just someone else is coming into chop air. Well I got like X-Ary scored 54 for 53% Tom on ground. Yeah. Like I think that sort of sums it up. So they're obviously sharing with each other. No one had more than 70% Tom on ground. So it's hard to look into the stats and go, because I saw some content creators going, "The rucks are cooked." No, no. You ruled out the cook. Yes dog, I did. That's a lie. I did. I did see it. Oh yeah. He's probably your name's down it. Oh. Draft day. After they drafted in the first round. So we can't look into anything too much at all. No, it's fine. No. I don't think you can with the rucks. Like that's exactly right. We'll see it. We'll see it. We'll see it. We'll see it. We'll see it. There was Tom on ground. Also the fact that. But a lot of things I'm saying. You wouldn't use them when you've got. No. You haven't usually got those other guys there. But for me, there wasn't really the nose will change in those rules as well. No. It's not going to be able to follow up with that tack away. They're in a game like that. That's a thing. Yeah. It just is what it is. Yeah. We just saw that. That didn't really throw. Nothing jumped out at me that was going. Oh, these rule changers have gone. It was playing the game. It's a different game. It was a different game. Or anything like that. We'll see that over these next couple of weeks. Now over. Well, Friday, everyone just appeared to have played an intro club game. And a heap streamed them too. So that was a good Friday of watching those. So GWS, this one wasn't streamed, but this is the biggest news out of it. Poro Tom Green, I see you. Oh, devastating. Yeah. Unbelievable. So what that means, and I know some people were very quick to jump on and say, "Oh, this is good for." "This body's not. It's still warm, boys." I know. It's like. You've got to get a little bit. It's like wearing a purriate. Right. We're doing the wrong thing. Dogg's the worst at it. He is not. Now if Dogg's giving you an lecture on etiquette? Yeah. Right. Yeah, you've done bad. Yeah, you've done bad, of course. But a little bit of time has passed now. The other part this morning, listen to the radio on the way in Jason McCarthy was on an S.E.N. And he said that Fin Callahan, at least the next couple of weeks with a hit flexor injury, he may be pushing it for around zero, for opening round. Well, he's still warm, you see, guys. I'll tell you what, something like that. At least it's not a full season. Some of your etiquette wouldn't go Australian out group chat. Because man, I'm in. That's how you introduce the green news. What's that? Who's this good for? No, this is a lie. This is a lie. He's a friend of ours. Now, let's go with that. What does that mean? So Clayton Oliver Cowell, you've been actually really keen on him this preseason. I mean, because I had to write about him, I think. It does do it to you. Surely he is though. How is this not the issue, is though? He was always going to be in there anyway. Yeah. He's not going to put him more in there than he already wanted. It's just more important. Yeah, because I kind of liked that he was in there. He got to reintroduce himself as second or third fiddle among superstars. Now it's like, oh, sorry Clayton, you have to be that guy again. Yeah. that guy instantly. So it'll be interesting how he responds apparently trained really well. He's been training well and had an impact in that interest. So who's going to be also in there? Like that's the thing that is a dream to see get a bit of a role. Well before Tom heard himself, there was talk that Toby was going to spend more time back in there again. How would this have changed that? If anything, surely that's more intense. You know, cogs. He played in the origin game as well. He did. He looked good. Leaky could get like he could be. Maybe those guys like a Harry Roston who got a gig there and DJ tells me he's 20 points under. If you take out the sub. Well, there you go. If he gets the role, no, probably is a bit too expensive. But I don't know. There's opportunity there now through their horrible unfortunate situation. Dees is all about Caleb Windsor. How do you see him? He's a midfielder. He's a midfielder and that's what they were doing with him. So, Kau, you were, we are, I know, were you with the crows? Are they Dees men? Yes. You were. So I made Harvey Langford. There's probably the one that thought, we thought, yeah, he might be the one on the up. But it looks like it's Windsor. So it looks like Langford's going to come off a wing. Yeah. And then it's Windsor that was in there. Now they were missing Causy and Trent Rivers, which I still don't have a read on exactly what it's going to be. But yeah, Windsor was in there with Jack Steele. So they were in there all the time. Sparrow was the other one that was sort of floating in there. But he was in there ahead of Harvey Langford. So it's very interesting. Now, if Windsor had just popped up in that game with no preseason chat, I'd be very hesitant. But I have, of course, Dees were my team. I have been talking about him through the preseason. So he's someone that I'm very comfortable at getting serious about now. Got the defender status. So that's Andy Price that cow. Yeah. 54. Yeah. So 20 points there. If he's going to meet Field Row, it's 20 points a minute. And it doesn't, it doesn't have to be 75%. No. Either. No. Like he doesn't need matching there to put 20 on that. And as we know, you know, they've lost two guys that had Fair Chunk of Field, especially Clary. Yeah. So what was he, was he real impact in there? Because he was the guy they gave it to. He was just everything about it, both inside and outside. So is there room for him and pick it like in there? Yeah. With the Steel, for example, I wonder like pick it is that you see a guy that has massive CBAs like he's numbers a huge. What are they? What do you have? 69% CBAs. And like it's kind of that the old dusty sort of 69% CBAs are reckon. He's in there, burst forward. Even did that. I think he started in the origin game in the gas got that first clearance. Yeah. So he's yeah. Yeah. That's how he plays. He wouldn't call him that traditional. Right. Starting me. So when that could be in there alongside. Could be right could be. We'll see what that looks like anyway. And the only other name I wanted to throw out of there was Xavier Lindsay on half back. And that's dangerous. I think that could be one of which if it's not just for draft, but he's a don't know. He's a straight me straight me. Yeah. So you're picking up super late in draft for a bit of DPP. Well, I like it. We're going to see lots of rookies from West Coast for us. I would see the Tiki. Five girls. Now I know he's playing against West Coast. Speed team. Yeah. Not just the big team. Guess who else? There are sister coaches. Oh, yeah. In T shirts and stuff like. Oh, no. Yeah. I nearly got a call up. Yeah. But and I don't think the coaches were very good. But he'll play I think tough title is going to play. So it could be there. One of the coaches. He's directly I think so. I need to know that. Um, Sean, he's been a bit of a bolster. Yes. Yes. So I reckon he's a chance. I think he's going to be in there team. Was he's a probably hard for sure. Probably. Yeah. Dev Robertson. It's going to be a watch over these next couple of weeks for him as well. But in the middle, Reed was epic. He he's gone 90. He's got the tools. So he's put in 20 plus on McCarthy too. Yeah. Yeah. I think we need to consider. Yep. Well, he's in the mix with a few of those. Yeah. In the 80s defenders. Yeah. You could go with. Yeah. What did the I tell you about Dev? It was okay. Like he's probably not. Didn't do. I wasn't outstanding. He got me on time. Bit of wing. Bit of forward. Right. It's just yeah. The role was okay. Right. Yep. And then who was I can say, Joey as well. So he looked great. Now we're talking. But he's going to sort of have that forward mid role. Right. Yep. But that might be easing him in there in that praki as well. So that's a draft one. Obviously. Yeah. He didn't play last. He's a very good player. Yeah. Price. He's a price data. An average of 64. Say look, that like if he's body hold up, that's a minimum 20. Oh, man. Cross game. The talk then in the last week is how McCandru is ahead of big Rob. Oh, really? Is this all of this? See, this is where my gut feel on all of this. Is it a rocket? I think a few of these are rockets. Oh, I can't play as. But he might be. He was better. He let the lot better than Rob as you could imagine in that praki game. He was in the 18. Did I work? In a we said we didn't take much out of the rack stuff in the state of origin. But I did expect to see at the center far more leaping. Yeah. Yeah. Then I actually did see. Like Max is not a massive leap. No, he's not. But he was still in the context. Yeah. Like all the talk was that anyone who can't go and do that is out of the game. And I think that's what the approach the crows have taken with this talk as well. Maybe Rob would be fine. Yeah. Rob was better at ground level. Like he was, you know, ball hit the deck. He was arguably more important than one hit out. So McCandru, 286. It could be it. So he could be the R3. If he is playing and Rob wasn't, he has to do it. Not R2. You can't go R2. Yeah, it's too hard to get out of that. It is. Because that's the thing. This is if it is the rocket. And even if he does start, Rob could be back in. They've done this to Rob before. I have. Like he played. Was it last through? He played sample. But you think about the I test. And if you read the rules, you would go, you would go automatically, Rob's in serious strife. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. With his skillset. Yeah. Wouldn't you? His tools. Yeah. He's a bit of Ford to start with. But then you did get the midfield time. It's a wonder watch. We just got a watch. So I don't know. I didn't sell you. No. Oh, wonder watch. More on the no side than the S side after watching that. But you know, and then there's a Intra Club game. Yeah. Ranked. Ranked. I did. So. Yeah. Yeah. North Melbourne. So midfield. L.D.U. looked really good. And he is. I think he's an option. He's under 90s. Yeah. Yeah. He's cheating. And he's been like 95, 90s to 4. Could he get triple figures? No. I don't know if he can. How many times do you have to get burnt? That's the problem. That's he. Not with and not with she's next to him. Well, who will do whatever he wants? He's going to be a midfielder. I think that's all. Look on all right there. Foss was the other one. You know, Sullivan. He spent a lot of time in the midfield. So he's got defender status. I think it's time, dog. You can claim him. He's your boy. He's one of dog's boys. He is. Yeah. I don't know if I want him. But he's going to be a good footballer because he was actually very good. Really good. And Colby half back. Everything we sort of wanted and thought about to get a little bit of a stint in the gut. Sort of later on. But half back, I think that's this is the thing about a lot of these games and we'll talk about this week coming up as well. The first part of the game is the most important because I think the first quarter we're a bit more like the real thing. I've got you. So of positions and what they're doing anyway. So Colby half back Caleb though, taking all those kickings. Right. That was one really, really bad one. I saw a turnover. He tried to chip 20 metres in it with a turnover straight away. It was to a teammate. It's just that he was wearing the other color. So that means Colby needs to be confusing. Colby needs to do that. I would think so. Come on. I think they like Colby having it at the 50. Yeah. Rippin through and zippy. Yeah. Zipping around. Not happy with the day they're just quietly. Hey, he's great. Oh, we had a chat to him. What? And I've run the nickname past him. Did you say it seller properly? Zippy the kangaroo. Yes. We didn't even heard of Skippy. No, he wouldn't. He's thinking before his son got over that. Anyway, we have grilled him about going and get some kickings. Right. So yeah, he knows. He knows. He knew anyway. How much city hate the nickname? Well, he's hated it. No, he's warming to him. Not a fan. He could look at red mic, ground him. Okay. Poor Adelaide. They played even teams. This is where you get even less out of things. Really? He's always nicely in A-Team because you go, oh, where's a bit of a picking order here? Yes. But yeah, rosy half back. Bergman in the middle. Sweet versus Vizentine. Okay. This is the matchup I wanted to hear, dog. Yeah. I don't know. Look. No answers out of it. Basically. I heard Nill all draw. Now they could both play together. Yeah. Bergman's a one I'm interested in. And I need using the middle. Right. Yeah. How confident that he'd stay in there. I don't know. This is vital. My whole structure. So Adelaide put it like it. I've seen it this week. So we'll see what that looks like. Right. Yeah. Okay. Because we know with him, if he's back, it's bad. It is bad. Precious. It didn't get too much out of this except a little whisper that Kitty was playing at half four. Oh, okay. That's an interest. Half-ord wing sort of role apparently. So yeah. Now you see you in for you guys at the moment. Yeah, he's for me. That can't ignore that price. But if it's half-forward, that is a flag and a half. Bombers, Blackacen, there's the - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Rules are gonna send you. - Still, yep. So, these are lock whether, D-Files, the most obvious place for them in your side, I think, at the moment. - Can we really do this? - Yes. - We've trapped ourselves to things like this before. - Yeah, I don't know if we can let Dog bully us. - Well, don't do it then. - Don't do it. - Don't do it. - Please don't do it. - Because I could just say it, filing it. - Same. - And we're all ripping into him all year because of BlackaSanx for the 30 dogs. - Thanks Dog. - But there's so many rookie defenders that you can be flicking to if it doesn't work. It's sort of the thing, the problem of the concern where that maybe is how long it's for, with Brian, but yeah. - I'd take a couple of good weeks. - Yep, that might be all we need. - Actually, Roberts, last couple of weeks he's been playing in the midfield and has this quite good in there as well. He might be someone that we almost talked is not so much a bus, but one that, you know, oh yeah. But, you know what? He could actually be very good. - Really do I say and talk up a bomber more than dog. Dog bullied me into that bus talk. I'm a massive fan of a haji. - He's good. - Like how do you see not actually in the conversation to select? He's very good. - Yeah. - He's a good player. - No buy. - No, $86. Maybe I'm showing keeper bias. Sorry. - Oh, that's a good one. - Yeah, he's probably fairly priced. But, it could be very good. Now, there'll be a few kids there. Farrow, off half back. And that's being talked up enough there by the new skipper talking him up as well. - Really? - So you ticket? - Andy McGraw said that he was good back there. As well as Roy Giannis. Giannis. - Oh yeah. - That's condo Giannis. - Yeah. - He was all right, 230k defender. - Thanks Basil. - Hmm. (laughing) However, there will be a couple. We did see out of that two is that Caco has a bit of a issue. May not play round one. - Right. - Think of the hammy for memory. But that could open the door for Hussein El Aca Aca. - Yeah, okay. - So we'll see what happens there. Yeah, he'll be a busy, small forward. - Yeah. - But to see what that looks like. He's based on price, so that he's obviously a handy thing for that. Richmond, right, Lawler, we're ticking that. - Oh, that is getting a really thick tick. - They made the mounds were like, even Ishmael's brother looks of it. With what that looked like, they're lying up. But they're based on ground cow. And I think he gave a hard no on this. - Hotton. - Yes. - I'm getting hot on him. - Here we go, Doc. - Because. - Woo! - Now you don't mind a doc. - Okay, so I bet it's been used. - It has been a good day. - 485k, right? So he's cheaper than Lawler. Was based on, I think he kicked multiple goals. In that, from the middle, as a midfielder. So, could be one to watch here. - So what's your price there? - 485. - Gosh. - So you're doing that over a marshal if anyone was looking at that in the Ford line. - You are. - Or, it's top one. - So it's 80k less than Lawler. - Well, you might have said both. - I think you could have, they both are in my current side. - Well, they really, I'm just reacting a little bit there. - I'll take, like your advice with Hotton there. But Lawler, have you seen the comms that come out about him today? - Yep, he's just, he's nearly 40s way into the leadership group. - Wow. - Well, what do I read? Like he played 20% or did 20% of the preseason last year and stuff are now full preseason. Like all that, that cannot be underrated. - No, no, no, no. - No, no, no. - No, the words coming out and the fact that he's a bit cheaper after those last two games as well. - Yeah, well, four. - I think he's in for a thumb. - Coming in the middle as well. Rets go, looks like he's probably got that wing, a grill of half back. So lots to watch with the tide. - We're gonna have a while, that's the best. - I think we're gonna have to. - No early buy. They play the first game of the fantasy season. Obviously on that Thursday night. So yeah, a lot to watch. - I think we're just gonna be loaded with him because they're gonna be there and there for the long haul. They might not score a huge, but they're all gonna be there. - Agreed. - For Colin, we'd have a watch on Angus Anderson. So he's someone that might be sliding into calculations and Harvey Harrison as well, played in the A-Team as well. So he might be a cheaper guy to look at. Carlton Roy, Walsh, best on ground. What did you hear? - 50. - 50 what? Razor Ball. - 50 touches. - Round that. - Did he really? - Yeah, how many of the air assistant coaches were in T-Shirt's fan against that? - None. Walsh is the question with Walsh that you have to ask yourself. Any preseason is, has it been interrupted or uninterapted? And usually interrupted means back surgery, which is not good. - Spinal. Most people have missed a year. He still gets up and plays, but nowhere near his best. That guy gets through the preseason touch wood and he will put, like he'll be, he's a 110 guy. He's priced at about 92 and he is killing it. Don't forget how good Walsh is. - No, no. - Back in 2024, he got to 106. And his best is better than that. - Are you turned off by the early boy for him? - Well, to some extent, yes. And because it's so quick, it's like round two. - Round two. - But you look at the games on either side of it, opponent wise. - Yeah. - Crikey, it is soft. I think you can cover him for that first week. - So he shares the boy with that first guy, sorry. - Yeah, Brisbane, so if you've got Kiti, maybe. - Yeah. - Collingwood, probably no one. - And Jolong. - Yeah, no one. - Probably no one. So you probably could. - I think you can cover it. - You can get away with it. - Jarlby, one of those, well, which you have in your side. So you have two midfielders there that are not playing because you just have to pick him. He's been a late this spring season. - He's the other one that had 50. - He had both had 50. - And 20 to 20. - Round two. - Yeah. - Now, St. Cudah, Jack Carroll. He's one that is getting interest because of his half-backed time that he might be. So he'll be a wonder what to say. Kale, you run an article. Mr. Popular. - Oh yes, about. - Think it was like the 28th of January or something. Well, that game'd been over about a week. Yeah, the stats there. - Named it after yourself. - I did. - Didn't have any assistant coaches in it though. - Yeah. - All right. - They're all rookie price. - Yeah. - Now I'm not sure what that looks like now exactly. However, we've got, there's a great ex account called @BitInThat. And they're out there pumping out some cool data of like the changes of ownership over, like basically daily updates, which is cool. - That is cool. - So I got them to collect the data since Kale actually did that. - Oh. - So we're gonna look at sort of where things have changed in the last couple of weeks and a bit. - Employment to account. - Mr. - Well, no, I don't think Kale's in for that. - No, no, no. - Because not long after that Roy released the team review. - So that probably where a lot of changes happened. - That makes a lot of-- - So in that time, so I'm gonna go through some of the biggest increases in that time. - Good one. - So Leo Lombard went from basically 16% to 34%. - A 10? - A 10. - We've heard more that he's probably gonna be there to 30K forwards. - That's right. - LJ's had a big one. He's doubled his ownership. - Crikey. - So it looks a bit more from big LJ. - Probably okay off the back of that rock podcast that we did all the good girls. But I think I'm just still a fan at the moment. - Yeah. - So I'm doing it. - So Kale's come around. - I have. - I'm one of the percentage people that-- - Law has gone up a fair bit as well. So he's third on the list. If you're talking about pure data ownership. - Okay. - So he's gone from 14% up to 26% in that time. - So if you're not. - Kale, he was very popular. Anyway, 35% now he's in 46% of the time. - 46. - It's a large. - Huge. - Wow. - And Josh Rischelli, he went from 3% up to 14%. - Wow. - So he's had a fairer thing. Just some other names that have gains in popularity. Rookies are obviously in that. Rethco, Defer Robertson. He's in like 54% of some points. And he also think as Crossley's going to be there. Grills in there, Farrow, Blackestons had a big leap. But I still think it's under. He's only in 9% of teams. He's in 1% before. - Yeah. - But he could be. - For a double figures. - I know. - Patrachers in the mix there. And just all the probably usual suspects as people start feeling their teams and working out what they're doing across that time. Losing stocks. - The ones that have gone down. - Stocks down, we call it. - So Kale, I reckon Draper would have been in your list. Sand Draper. - Yes, he would have. And he was in at 23% of sides now in like about five or so. - Yeah. - I think we've worked, well, he's not going to play the start. - No. - So that's why he's gone down. Sid Draper, he's had that sort of managed preseason. I'd be wiping him off my starting squad to start with. Lucky Carmichael's senders for him. Joy called well. So he's one that was a hot early. 17% to start. This is all at the time of the Mr. Popular staff. - 17 now down to nine. - Because it started to get real, right? And people just go, hang on, am I really doing this? - I like the idea of it to start. - Right at the start. Silly Sason, Chuck em ol' in and now you're like, "Key, hang on." - Can you tell me, just give me a little story about Kale well. - 'Cause you were very hot. - I think he's still got, he was excellent in that interest. - Was he? - Yep. - If you like him on the 28th of January. - There you go. - He should still like him now. He had a little bit of a knee thing. It was just a jarring or something, but that's not an issue according to every track water I'll spoken to. - Okay, you have been on the ball. - I've been on the ball. - Yes. - Miles Bergman's dropped a bit. - How's he? - So he's one of those. - Why am I feeling like a bit worried about that? - Yeah. - The old free ride at this time of year. We start to question it. We need to see that forward row. Don't let me draw We need a real thing as well. That's that's something that's what Especially when he was interviewed and he said I don't know what I'm doing. Oh, I knew there was a razor Trillos there. He had a little bit of a setback, but I think that's probably inevitable when that was gonna happen at some point Harsh but true. Yeah, it's funny because he's 90 which I feel like You're backing him to play every game and be one of the top goals. Yeah, I just put a bit on to that Lucky, he's only to use 20 points better. Well, that's the best midfield. I see I see Trillor. I think 110 Fair enough. And then it's probably a lot of rookies that you're saying there in that but thanks That's cool bit in that you can go and fly that to see how they go like you see Supplies so you can go and click on on the website sort of shows and ownership outchangers like for example from that time like Tristan Sherry was There he's gone up since but he's sort of gone up and down a bit throughout the time and I reckon it's probably the way some people are Thinking about that and where he's at I'd be interested to see if the state of origin caused a bit of pat dip in All those big rucks All right round one that's what we're working towards we are few days away well a few days 20 odd days. I think it was yep Something like that That night yeah, so what does it look like between now and then is your little calendar almost We've got match simulations actually start this afternoon. Yeah, we get a Jolong and Hall for playing so we get a look at that match simulations They're all a bit random at times. They are the the way they're played and what we see so You know this one today. It's at the Kennedy community center. So that's a dingley one. Where's really windy apparently? They go four by 30 minute quarters. No time on for that. Right. This is off the back of origins So who's missing from that you've got homes homes as all those guys danger? Yep Stuart Cameron didn't play in that so don't know what that means. It's half a time Nearly not worth watching Except oh, there's still a couple actually a few players. Yeah, all right Especially on the other side there's a yeah the midfield mix so Hawthorne. Yeah, they um They've just gungston who else was there? Oh Barris and battle both played didn't they? Yeah, so their midfield should be close to what it will be so like watching a Kind of McDonald see if he gets mid clock Yeah, so when watching these games what are we watching? You need to take note of who's not there? Yeah, that's the thing And so if you're getting sort of at all this role that someone's got Is someone there that's gonna bump them from that. Yes, does it look like that's a thing that could be consistent moving forward? Mm-hmm and who that is so that's they're the key things I Reckon the start of the game is probably the best time to watch it. Yeah Give yourself the first quarter maybe first half to see what you're thinking out of that before things get changed We're gonna have unlimited inner changes are gonna have yeah all that stuff some games are more quarters and that's Yeah, so you go across these a lot of these are the four by 30s, but you see some different ones like goal Okay, so some Q to doing four by 20, but they're gonna go time on and then some will do those things where the Reserves come on basically later none of those are named up like that Okay, but we do see you know some Melbourne and North Melbourne are going four by 25s with no time on but they're going to go scenario training Are they so you know they'll go route? 25-minute mark, you know you're down by two points or whatever or I just would love to know like Which coach suggest suggest these yeah changes and things like that and like it be it's like a Big-picking order. Oh, yeah, like if one of the big ones say oh Chaos is what we're doing. We're gonna go 25s a bit of scenario trying it Does anyone ever push back? Oh no, I'm not doing not even remotely interested in scenario training We don't want to be down by 10 with two minutes ago. No you be down by 10 so these sort of Going to be from yeah from today, but Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday will see some games And you better watch those on KO so they are there so you're able to get on board so one scenario would be Zippy In the square who's got also I know I'm a stupid yeah, yeah, yeah, so Colby's in the square You're on 99 fantasy points. Collie. What would you do in this situation? And Collie steps out kicks it and everyone just claps So yeah, you say it goes up a notch this goes up a notch watching these yeah, but then the next week it goes up Probably three or four notches how many? See the Amy community is right it's four starts there And Wednesday the 25th of February with Calvin Jolong playing these are more fading Yes, better coverage is one thing Yeah, feel like having on the tripod and their camera respect all the tripod. Yes, film is a because we need them We know exactly, but She's at Adelaide game was a hard watch that one wasn't a good one the intra club the other day Yeah motion sickness Did you ever go on the devil cat? From Georgetown to Melbourne like the cat Moran Nicknamed the spewcat because you just had that motion sickness because that's what it felt like yeah Right, no and that what I felt like there when I have it for five hours laying on the floor vomiting Wasn't good when you're watching the game. Yeah, how the window green Poland We're going green vest panicking and I googled it fair that this is probably not a day I feel fancy podcast where the story I mean yeah, go I got decommissioned here and went and Went to other places and did its job, you know, you're bearing around they move it to another place Sunk a five-between here and the other place What it's unc we lucky to have you exactly oh We're the middle of best straight somewhere 25 years ago when I caught that thing oh Glad you're okay, though. Oh sometimes just the penny drops it sometimes we just need to be grateful for it Oh no Sorry, dog sometimes I'm right. Let's play on so these games here. We are going to see more of a fair Lincoln thing because I reckon a lot of these origin players or anyone's got that tiny little niggle or the management Probably don't play in these match teams, but they most likely play in that the only caveat on that one might be the ones that do have the Opening round there might be that little management leading into that because then that's only a week later What do we look for in these ones in I guess this is more real this is very real Well, we just Watch with a very open mind really and it's like Stats the stats are obviously L best friends and we get to see them in these ones I test I test of Amy. Yeah, it just cannot be underestimated I reckon premiums you don't worry about no we've said these many times before but swan he didn't care about Presumably games he could not have been any clearer when he told us that like he said if anyone is any good Do not expect them to score like he would frown upon on him down on like fake premiums that actually tried to get it Yeah, I'm trying to touch it. What gear would he have been in all he did not even turn it up and not from Christmas No one was going as part of true he did so you could be it's still have 30 but still It's just watch the role especially for though the next tier. Yeah, and it is really that the rookie watch to have Who is going to be a good chance to be in that side and can actually add some value because we've got our extra on the bench We've got our five on the bench now So even the rules is going to be the thing to look at for this see if there's any effect with the rules but Do these rookies are they going to be a headache for us? Are they going to be two borderline is their role going to be two average like If you're getting low time on ground in a praki game. Yeah, then that's not going to be great for in season Is it see this is a thing we say that and that is a very Professional smart thing to say. Yeah, but then sometimes like we get to the opening round and guys are plucked from Like who know didn't even know they're on a list and they get a game over some of those guys that have time on ground So it's just very dangerous areas we get super excited because it's like as close to the real thing as we're going to get But gee you have to tread carefully. I don't know how many failed mid prices We have picked over the years based on the back of role was there Looked amazing added something probably best on ground Yeah And then like two weeks into the season we're like oh, I admitted Is that really a shock to us because those guys are playing for their life? What's funny said? Yeah, they're playing to impress Yes, where is your premiums are just going through the motions? Mm-hmm, and then we have opening round Oh At cheek code for us. Yes, so It's a little bit different to last year because we've got five games now initially it was going to be four games as it sort of has been since the birth of Open round Which means we've got ten early buys now a few people are incorrectly saying because we had two games cancel because of the the cyclone Yes, we still had six teams on a buy yeah In the early buys so only one was able to still be played because that was gelong and Brisbane Yes, they were able to be played anyway, so there's still six teams, but now there's ten teams so it is It is different because the next four teams that have early buys they spread out with a four four two model from round two to three and four. And we've talked a bit about them. You can check out the fixture to be on top of that. But the really simple things for us, what's our strategy A watching? Let's start with watching opening around. Yep, we're watching rule change, we're watching 'cause it's real football now. It's gonna have the four points on the board. That sort of stuff, how that looks, how the umpires are reacting to different things. I don't understand rule and all that, but what are we watching for in that? And I'll put that with, our players that we're semi-considering, the scores that they have. Have you budged off your score of two? Right. I've come in. You've come in, what is it now? What do they need to have? Well, it's got to be on the play. It's got to be on the play. Yeah, and price. Like, same tailor forced dog sand. And deep last year. 120. Yeah, I remember. Like, that 120 would have been the line with him to force your hand. We stuffed it last year. Like, couldn't have stuffed it up any worse. Like, we were on a winner chasing ashes for a score. And then, like, I stayed a virgin, Melis, AJ, wouldn't medley. Exactly. Then he had a quiet one. We got rid of it. Shocking Reed. That was bad. You got Sam Taylor for, what, he's price rise, but you ended up with him for an extended period. Totally stuffed that up. So, with these lines, I think you need to be comfortable knowing they could be there for a while. There you go. That's fantastic. So, like, what's your line for someone like Sam Walsh? Yeah. So, now, this is where we'll go. Let's even say, a player priced it over a hundred. Yeah. Errol Gordon, we've got in our sides. Have you got him right? No. No. But I count what you guys do. We've got him what? 102. So, we think he can be that 110 top few of the line. Yes. We can wear that. Yes. We'd still need to see a very good score for him. Like, we're going to need that 110 plus score, I think, otherwise we wouldn't do it. Yeah, I think so. You don't want to be buying one of those guys taking a hit with the boy and then taking a price drop. 110. Oh, 110 might even not be enough. Like, it might need to be a 120. Don't know. That's an interesting one. It is. But he's the only one that I've really got as a premium player. Then you go your Walsh type plays. Yeah. Where you're feeling like we're going to get our 10 plus points upside from, but you're getting him that little bit cheaper. If Walsh? Okay. I want your line first on Errol. Not this throwing numbers around. Yeah. As of today. And there's a bit of water to go under the bridge. As of today, what would your line for Errol be? Price at 102. His score is 120. I'm picking him. So, he plays Carlton. Yeah. So, the line? Hmm. I'm happy with the 110. If it's a 110, I'm still in on that. Right. Yeah. So, is it what you think he might average his such? Oh. Is that the thing? Like, if it's the 110, that's on bot. The only reason you're buying Errol is because you think he's going to be about that 110. And he's an easy rolling 22. He is. That's what we know. That's what we know. Yeah. Okay. Sam Walsh priced at about 92. Yeah. What do you need from him? It's almost the I test. That is that big thing. The big thing. What's that role? Is he getting enough of that inside and disease, outside work, well for him, especially in this Errol change world? If he goes over 100. Yeah. That's probably enough. If he goes 100, I test tick. Yeah. I think that's enough for someone like Walsh. Now, one thing I'll be looking at really closely, because they do have Richmond the next week. Yes. In Cheek Code Round, he's the Giants. Like, we could get a layup pick there. So, if we watch them and Toby Green is a full-time midfielder, for example, like that's not going to happen, but say Toby Green's full-time midfielder. But in that round, for one reason or another, only scores 80, I would still be considering that. Yeah. Because if he's in there, he's not an 80 guy. He's a 100 guy. But that's where a low line would be something I wouldn't be too worried about if the I test passed. We'll talk to these more in depth, I reckon, around the time. But then you've got your Nick Newman's. You've got your Kitty Coleman, who do have that round 2 by. Because in a little sense of this is going round 2 by the one that you want to avoid, players from as much. Because it is literally getting one game out of it. Okay. Yes, two price rises, but one game. I've got, okay, here's one for you. You're watching Kitty Coleman. He plays the whole game at half forward and scores 80. What do you do? I think you've got to jump off just based on Rull. Even though it's near 30 over what he's priced at. Yes. Yeah, I know. Oh, these discussions are going to be fantastic. You mentioned GWS as well. They've got the round 4 by. And it's the easy one because only two teams are on it. However, it's St. Kilda, who we may end up with a few from. Look, you know Brainer there is your Flanders. You might have the poo. Maybe. You might have those people that might be wanting to see those people. Also Jack Carroll. He could be. He could be. But in the mix. Yeah, you could have a few players from that. Yeah. All right. So we could see the old age. Exactly. You have to come up with scenarios. Can we? Right. Literally that pod after we could might have to have a split podcast. Yes. Yes or no, we just go through the scores. That's one of those ones where I 100% forget we're actually recording it for a purpose. And I get that into a set conversation that I forget where we are. Yep. Let's forget where we are right now and hit up this. Got a question for the traders? Tweet the boys at AFL Fantasy or head to facebook.com/AFLFantasyOfficial. We threw it out there on socials. Was that AFL Fantasy for people to ask their questions? Fantasy Observer. Once in a, this combo. Is it Petracker and Bergman as a pair or Nassai and Lawler? I, I think I liked this tweet yesterday because I thought it was an outstanding question. Okay. Where do you sit on? Well, you didn't think about it. No, I'm not answering. Starting on the first one with Petracker and Bergman. That is where I am. Did you? Well, we both can't be wrong. Well, we can because I'm not sure about Bergman still. Yeah, okay. But that is where I am today. The other one is a little bit more words. We'll call the other one a little bit more guns and rookies if you like. I know. Or would you prefer out a Lawler and Bergman? Berg. I'm starting to think. But if you save in the cash to go Lawler in the Ford line. I think I'm actually more confident in Lawler at the moment. That's almost how I feel too. I believe I've gone iceberg. Yeah. Well, it's going to be interesting. You'll be fine. Okay. Roddy A. Jack wants to know how he underestimating Marshall considering he shared with Ryder previously. Yeah, he doesn't struggle to score. It's just going to be how sporadic it is and yeah. He'll become relevant again when he gets forward status. Okay. Because he's a good player. No doubt about it. But no, he is priced at a small fortune and there's no way a basically a key for Ford who chops out in the rack can get close to those numbers. No, I can't. Mani, I've come in very late this season. Welcome. So fine. Once we're always here. So a lot of catching up to thoughts of Whitfield or Ash as starting peaks. Whitfield. He's under his. He is based on a couple of real low injury. Oh, he's half forward going to turn. Yep. And then half forward. And then again. So when he went back, after he came back from his concussion that he returned to that half back roll and basically just went at one ten. Yeah. So he could push and be at that one ten. So in my roll on 22, it's a good question for you to ask because they're actually side by side. But I've got Whit ahead of Ash. Yeah. So he went one eleven in his last seven. Yeah. And one twelve in his first ten. Yeah. So on that middle patch, then Ash, but not much in between. Yeah. Aaron is merit a real chance of getting forward status. You would if you played like you did in the origin game, but that was not a reflection of it. I don't know. I wonder if he's pushed out a little bit just because of the bomb has stacked Whitfield. Okay. Cold well in there. Sturmer in there. Stack. Will there be any spots left in the all Australian midfield this way? No. I don't think he's getting forward status. He won't be doing enough to do that. Really so is number two. I don't know. I never heard of him. No, come on. No, I just offering him a coach last year extension. He's not going to be happy. That's nice. Oh, yes. I'll sign up playing half forward for the bombers. I don't think so. He'll be in the guts. There's no way he's getting forward status. No chance. All right. Digby. What are your thoughts on the rock on the state of origin game had multiple rocks playing with you. He's any concerns about messy dip in rock scores. And just from the SA teams just they might try different rucks due to the new rules. And that's probably one of the things like these guys. We've got question marks on guys now. We do. Sweet and O'Brien who let's say a month to go. Yep. They'll be the rock, maybe even solo, rock type thing. Yeah. But now, you know, that could change. We're hearing the meek and Reeves combo. Could be an in. Look, that's a watch. Because Meeky was probably someone we ranked fairly well as a rock deservedly so. I don't want to say it, but Briggs East, Docs on the road. Well, did you say action? - You missed that one, Nick Madden. - Oh, what? He was good. - He had five girls. - Yeah, there's a four night. - So this is-- - And I'm playing together though, that's the issue. - Yeah. - Wow, it's, you know some clubs are jumping at the shadow for real change more than us. - Yes. - We thought we were panicking. - Yeah. - Yeah, love to be-- - So it was a great, if you haven't gone back and listen to that podcast, it was a great chat with very good. - That was good. - So he, that was some of our best work 'cause we weren't involved in it. We didn't have to do much. - He's not really a lot. - Yeah, it was really good. - But yeah, things might change during the season anyway. That's the one of my little gut feels as well, is that it's going to evolve. - Yeah. - And I feel like the really good ones come out of it squeaky clean. - Agreed. - All right, next question. Nick Newman is starting to feel cold from Jim's jet. - Ooh. - Yeah. - I hear you Jim. - It's a concern. - We're just not seeing highlights of him. - No. - Where are the highlights of him, racking up his uncontested marks at half-back and kicking. - Well. - I'm not seeing them. - It's not really exciting highlight to show. - Well, he's not going to take a hang of care if that's what he's saying. - No, that's exactly what I'm saying. So he's priced at 72. - Yeah. - Okay, we know what he can do. - We just, we're not seeing anything from them. - So he was carrying a needle, wasn't he? - Was that calf? - That's a concern already. Is he going to play this week? - Well, and that's what we're going to need to be. - He's back in a full training now. - So you tip him to play? - Don't I? - You are correct, he's back in a full training. So you think he might play this week? - Well, he's one to watch. - Yeah, but you have, - Yes. - Every right to have him next to iceberg, as people we are a little bit cold on. - Yep. - They are. - All right. AFL fantasy factory, are we investing too much cap by entering around one with this defensive line? Rosie, sing clear, who haven't seen, but I don't hate the singly. - No. - McCarthy, McCurcher, Numenit D5, and then Zeculean at D6. - Well, if they're all fit, nearly all of them have upside. - Yeah, I think they do. - I think Sing clear is just fairly priced. He'll just be a 105 guy. I think he'll be the number one distributor down back. - Oh, I think he's going to be great. - So, you're like, what, 105? Great. - I don't know if he can get to that. So he's been 101, 102, 102 the last few. - If he doesn't have an aside there. - That's what I was saying. - There the splits you need to look at. What he can do. - So, he's got an early buy. - If he didn't have an early buy it, I'd be very interested. - I'd be interested. - With it, I'm not. But like all those other guys have definitely spent time in my backline, the press. - Yeah. - Hawkers here, oh, and sorry there, AFL fantasy factory. You're missing Blackiston. You got it. But you've got, I think this is the thing, you squeeze your cash where you can. - Well, if we don't see it. - Blackiston you do that with, and there's a few of these other rookies that are defensive eligible, that you might want. - Slash need. - I've got another question for you. - Go. - What if, - No, AFL fantasy where you can do that, right? - What if, do I have to? - I have to. - If I could jump the line just this one time. - This one's on. - So, if Newman, don't you know who I am. - Mrs. Opening Round. And then lines up for Richmond, Round One. - What do you do? - I'm, I'd be a no. - Would you? - I would be concerned with the fact that he has missed a game. - Right. - For some reason. - Okay. - Dog, no. - No for that. - Yeah. - You don't get it much easier. - I know, I agree. - It's a great little match up. - Okay, thank you for that. - That's okay. - No, no, what would you do? - Oh, starting. - Okay. - Yeah, there you go. - Dom, here you go on Superstars. Now, beside the, the bi-players, which big dog premium midfielder would you pick? - My default is Dawson, I think. - Yeah, so I've got Dawson at the moment. - So yeah. - Yep, I've got a big guy. - Oh, you asked. - Get in here, I'll go. - In the middle Roy. - Have you definitely had Blackeston? - So they've been catching you back. - Yeah, definitely got Blackeston. - I, um, ducked into the toilet yesterday afternoon, actually, for the first time this preseason. - I walked out of the Louis with Dawson. - There we go. - Yeah. - I like a lot about it. - Yes. - Only 16% on issue. - Yep. - No early boy, eight. - No. - Of all the big boys there. - This is the only one without an early boy. - Which party are you most excited to see this year? - Here we go. - Jagger. - Jagger. - Oh, Dacoch, if he's going to be doing what he did. - Sam. - Oh yes. - Sammy Woosh. - Oh, man. - Who? - Did you think I'm in? - Dars, I see. - Oh, Karky. - Sam, why is he no Sam Woosh? - The barnacle, Maddie B. Should I be worried if my team's too vanilla? - No. - No, that's how you start. - It is, it's very safe place to start. Look, I'm going to say that we're not going to lose a winner hat in Round 1, but we could lose it. - Ooh, we could. So we just need to stick with the trends. You can have a couple of low-ish ownership guys, but you don't have to take massive out there chasing a breakout pumps. I don't think. - You don't have to, yeah, I agree. - Lucky is throwing this one. Who's more of a liability? Briggs or Parish? - Briggs. - I think it's Briggs. - I think it's a pretty good one. - Yeah, and I think if Parish something happens, whether it's injury or it's not going the way you want it to, you've got options. Briggs is a hard one for options. It's almost a restructure if you're trying to go from him to someone like Parish. You've almost got options all over the ground. - You do DPP? - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - So you would find something on one of the lines. With Big Bruger. - Yeah, and I hate to agree on this. - You are in a quite spot. - Yeah, I'm in a lot of trouble. - Yeah, you're getting like a Kuno Anders. - You are. - Because I think he's got a 60-odd next to his name, doesn't he? - Yeah, he does, he does. - Even Harry. - Harry will put some on. - Yeah. - Yeah. - There's a few of those things. - And then I think you feel fairly, when we say safe, but yeah, like a Darcy, those guys, they are still right up there though. Like I still, so you're fucked up, guys that might find the pill easier. - Yes. - Where you have this less sporadic story, mate. - Yeah, but in draft, yeah, load them up. Tom, Elliot, yo, you see a risk. The answer is yes. - Merci. - But is there a risk that you could take? - Like there's no risk you're naming the game than you're. - Yeah. - However, over the years, I have grown so respectful of what he is his supplier. Like, he is legit old school hardcore bullicking bull, that guy. Like, he doesn't get enough credit for that. You watch the young guys bounce off him if he comes in for the opposition. - Yeah. - He's got a brute in there. It's no wonder he's heard all the time. Is he a risk? Look at the history. Massive risk. - Significantly cheaper than parish. - Yeah. - Sorry. - What? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Sorry. - So, okay. Yoey Strings, six games together. - Yep. - He doesn't average under 90 if he plays six straights. - He'd be around that wouldn't he? - He would. He'd be probably spot on it. - Mm-hmm. - Maybe to the decimal. - Here we go. - Wow. - That is high risk. - Okay. - This one comes from Anthony. - Well, he's got a draft league coming up. He said, can you guys pick out draft water? - So they're not. Yeah, why not? - Yeah, we can do that. - But we've done it pretty in a. - Oh, he's the community podcast. Why not? - In a way of doing this. And this might be an idea for leagues to do. What I thought he gave us to team names. They got 14 in their league. - Whoa. - That's going to be big when it comes to rucks, isn't it? - Oh, down the bottom there's a rally. - Rucks will all be going that first round. - I hope they've got flakes on too. - Oh. - Imagine place for a bullies heaven there at the top. - So what we've done, we have gone with the 14 teams and I've randomized those and I've randomized 14 names that we're playing in the Colton and Jolong. - Hmm. - Well, hopefully playing if not. - I might have to. - You'll have to. - Some of you in work that out commission and can have discretion on that when we see final teams or whatever. But 14 teams, yeah, Colton and Jolong that play the first of the Amy community games next Wednesday. - Oh, that's Wednesday. - Yes. - So then the scoring will be top scorer. They get pick one and so on if there's a tie, whoever's first on the list in the order, because it's randomized, that's all right. - That's nice. - Smart. - Yep. - All right, here they are. How are the bounces? Congratulations, you got George Hewett. You dirty blood, you have got Mark Pitnet. I'm not gonna read them all out actually. - Go on with the wind, yeah. - See you, okay. - Jagger, there you go. - I really like that. - I like that look. - Thanks, Tykes. I've got Sam Walsh, Mark Blyckhaz has gone to Jackoff. Then we've got, we're optimistic at number six. You've got Ben Ainsworth, StakdFC. You've got Sean Maner, James Whalpool at number eight. He's going to bend it like Dawson. Nine, the G-Train ends up with Tannert Braun, who could be an interesting player to watch over you this time. - Yeah. - And then, whoop, doop, dazzlers. Grindmys, Stroke and Modody, Tom Atkins, Pep Typatrol has Francis Evans. Here you go, that might be the pick on the turn possibly. - My boy. - Your boy. - Malat Mafia, Oli Hollens, and Blakey's Gooden Boys is Olig Dempsey. There you go. That might be an idea to do your draft order. Pick one of these games. Everyone gets a pick, and it's a little bit like, Kau, you did the loose handball. - Well, okay. - So everyone, how did you do it? People have to pick their person, or did you just randomly allocate? - You've done this one before Roy, where we had to pick the player before we knew what the concept was. - Yes. - And I really liked that. I didn't have time to do that, so I just ran him eyes. - Yeah. - And they said, who you were. Yeah, which sucks for me because I knew the outcome before it actually started. Yeah, it's just, but it's just part of being good at it, Kel. It's the way it is. It's the way it is. So yeah, get your draft legs sorted now. So if you haven't done that yet, get that organized, but yeah, that might be a nice way. Give yourself something to watch as well. Hmm. Watch the games in the Aimee and then here they go. That can dictate where your pick is. It's just another reason to get together and like, exactly. I think of it as a USA. That's the way in. It runs together. It's just that. Yeah. Good.

They conducted a 12-team draft with most participants present, emphasizing strategy, player selections like Tim English at pick five, and using features like pausing for remote drafters.

Nick Daicos stood out with 149 points, 38 disposals, and nine marks, showing elite form despite the game's informal nature, while ruck stats were shared and less indicative due to limited time on ground.

Tom Green's injury at GWS and Finn Callaghan's hamstring issue were noted, potentially affecting team roles and creating opportunities for players like Clayton Oliver or Caleb Windsor in midfield.

Caleb Windsor from Melbourne showed promise in midfield, while Xavier Lindsay on half-back and Colby McKercher in defense were mentioned as potential late-draft picks with dual-position status.

The hosts observed minimal immediate impact from rule changes in the State of Origin game, suggesting it's too early to adjust strategies, but they'll monitor over upcoming preseason matches.
