The PODPOD - AFL Fantasy Podcast

With what seems like excess cash to spend this year, coaches are finding that they are able to spend up big in the ruck line if they wish. Do coaches “set and forget?” Do coaches spend up on one expensive ruck and then try to find value? Or do coaches go full value mode with some cheaper options? All this strategy and more is covered in this episode!In this episode, Two-time top 10 finisher Harmey and friend of the podcast Jackson Davey or JD as he is better known in the fantasy community talk all things rucks! Whether you are interested in an expensive ruckman like Xerri or Marshall, or are considering value options such as TDK and Darcy, this podcast has you covered! Join the lads for a strategy round table discussion and then the pros and cons of all the relevant ruckmen. Enjoy!Like this episode?

Previously, the midfielders have been the most important players, putting up the scores that were often relied upon for coaches as their captain and vice captains. However, last season saw a drop in midfielder scores, with only one player scoring above 110. An outlier, or a change in the way the AFL is being played? Who knows!

Each co-host brings three premiums up for discussion, before they answer a stack of listener requests. With 2025 seeming as if we have cash to spend up in the midfield, the decisions on who to start could be crucial in getting off to a flier in AFL Fantasy.
