An AFL Fantasy Podcast that doesn't focus on the superstars. We look at the up-and-comers and the lesser-known players to help you win your draft and keeper leagues.
Listen on Apple PodcastsThis week Heff is joined by Zanks to review Round 21 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. We welcomed back Billy Dowling with a massive 107-point performance from 18 disposals, 11 marks and three goals. After consistently producing big numbers in the SANFL, can he keep scoring despite playing predominantly forward at AFL level, and is he worth an aggressive waiver bid? Stephen Coniglio continued his resurgence with 99 points from 20 disposals, six marks and three goals. With favourable matchups against Gold Coast and West Coast on the horizon, we assess his short-term value and whether his forward-heavy role makes him too volatile for coaches heading into finals. Liam Stocker also impressed with 102 points from 25 disposals, eight marks and three tackles. He now has a three-game average of 88.3, but is his recent form and role sustainable enough to trust against Carlton this week? We also work through plenty of other names worth monitoring, including Daniel McStay, Jhye Clark, Oscar McDonald, Oscar Ryan, Lachlan Bramble, Will Lorenz, Toby Bedford and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode is packed with the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve. Good luck to everyone competing in their keeper league finals!

This week Heff is joined by Matty D’Sena to review Round 19 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. James Worpel made an immediate impact in his return to Geelong’s side, scoring 102 from 24 disposals, six tackles and a goal. With Mitch Knevitt and Jack Bowes omitted, Tanner Bruhn injured and Max Holmes sidelined, has Worpel done enough to hold his spot and re-establish himself as a reliable fantasy option? Jhye Clark also caught the eye with 98 points in a new role across half-back. After collecting 25 disposals and nine marks, we assess whether the role can stick and if the former top-10 pick should be back on the radar in keeper leagues. Nick Bryan finally delivered the ruck performance coaches have been waiting for, producing 111 points from 17 disposals, 31 hitouts and two goals. With his time on ground increasing, are we beginning to see signs of a genuine fantasy breakout? We also work through plenty of other names worth monitoring, including Bailey Scott, Jay Polkinghorne, Campbell Lake, Cooper Harvey, Noah Mraz, Oliver Francou and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Warnie (Traders and DT Talk) to review Round 18 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Ed Allan is one of the biggest stories of the round and has officially entered 2G4P territory. After continuing to show promising signs at AFL level, we discuss his role, scoring potential and whether he can become a reliable fantasy option rather than another short-term tease. With Allan attracting more waiver claims than any other available player this week, how aggressively should coaches be pursuing him? Rory Lobb is back on the fantasy radar thanks to his move into the ruck. The “Ruck Lobbster” role has given him a clear scoring boost, but how long will it last, and what happens when the Western Bulldogs’ other ruck options return? We assess whether he is worth a significant waiver bid and whether he can be trusted on the field. Jacob van Rooyen also demands attention following his six-goal performance. While the ceiling was impressive, key forwards can be difficult to rely on in fantasy. We look at whether his recent form makes him a genuine option or whether he is better used as a matchup-dependent streamer. We also work through the other popular names on this week’s waiver wire, including Rhylee West, Joel Fitzgerald, Mason Wood, Cameron Zurhaar, Harry Morrison, Flynn Riley, Marcus Herbert, Riley Hardeman, Will Brodie, Matthew Cottrell, Luke Nankervis and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Jake from Hat Chat to review Round 17 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Zeke Uwland was the headline act of the round, exploding for a massive 146 points for Gold Coast. With 32 disposals, 16 marks and a half-back role that looks to suit him perfectly, owners are finally being rewarded. We dig into whether this role is here to stay, what the Rioli injury means, and whether the Gulden comparisons are starting to make sense. Karl Worner was another huge story after putting up 108 points for Fremantle. With 29 disposals, 10 marks and a role across half-back that continues to deliver, he has officially hit 2G4P territory. We discuss whether he has become a genuine fieldable defender and what his strong recent form means for keeper league coaches. Beau Addinsall was another exciting name from the Suns, scoring 86 from just 67% time on ground. He ran through the midfield, looked comfortable at the level, and appears to be making the most of his opportunity. We look at where he sits compared to the other young Gold Coast options and whether coaches should be getting on board. There’s also plenty more to get through, including Oliver Francou, Noah Mraz, Jacob van Rooyen, Cooper Harvey, Jagga Smith, Edward Allan, Mattaes Phillipou, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Patrick Dangerfield, Ned Moyle and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by original co-host of The Keeper League Podcast, Kaes, to review Round 16 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Sam Cumming was one of the most encouraging names of the round after spending the day in the Richmond midfield. With 21 CBAs and an 83-point score, he’s starting to look like a genuine fantasy player of the future. We discuss whether this is the start of something coaches can properly buy into, or if we still need to see a bit more. Josh Lai also caught the eye for Port Adelaide. He hasn’t quite put the fantasy numbers together yet, but there are signs there. With 10 marks from just 13 disposals, he showed he can intercept and find the ball in the right spots, so we look at whether there’s something developing from a keeper league point of view. Zeke Uwland put up his best score of the season for Gold Coast, finishing with 86 from a half-back role. It was his first score above 70 for the year, so we dig into whether the role has changed, whether the score is repeatable, and what to make of his upcoming matchup against Collingwood. There’s also plenty more to get through, including Rhyan Mansell, Cooper Harvey, Patrick Retschko, Cooper Trembath, Billy Wilson, Sam Durham, Karl Worner, Blake Hardwick, James Rowbottom and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Aaron Bryans from Grandstand SA to review Round 15 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Jai Murray was one of the big names of the round after another eye-catching performance for Adelaide. With the Crows continuing to give us plenty to think about from a fantasy point of view, we look at whether Murray’s role and scoring are starting to become something coaches can properly buy into. Luke Nankervis also put his hand up again, giving fantasy coaches another Crows-related headache to sort through. He’s shown enough to be on the radar, but we discuss whether this is a short-term spike, a role worth trusting, or something that could have longer-term keeper league appeal. Mark Keane is another one we need to talk about after scoring well in his first game back from injury. He’s a key defender, which always makes him a bit harder to trust in fantasy, but he has put up good scores in the past, so it’s tempting. We discuss whether there’s enough there to take the punt, or if coaches should be careful chasing points in that type of role. There’s also plenty more to get through, including Hugo Hall-Kahan, Cooper Trembath, Tom Brown, Beau Addinsall, James Trezise, Max Michalanney, Neil Erasmus, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Blake Acres and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Zanks to review Round 14 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Tyler Sonsie was one of the standout names of the round after putting up 98 points against Brisbane. With Richmond continuing to throw up useful scores from wing and half-forward types, we look at whether Sonsie’s role is something coaches can actually trust, or if this is another Tigers spike that might be hard to rely on. Hugo Hall-Kahan also impressed again for Adelaide, scoring 75 from 23 disposals in just his second game. He looked clean with ball in hand, used it well going inside 50, and appears to have found a role that could build nicely from here. We discuss what that means for his fantasy value, and whether he can become more than just a short-term watch. Joel Fitzgerald was the debut demon after scoring 83 in his first game for Melbourne. With Caleb Windsor out, Fitzgerald stepped straight into the midfield mix, attended 14 CBAs and found 26 disposals in an impressive first-up performance. We discuss whether that role can hold when Windsor returns, or if this was more of a short-term opportunity created by Melbourne’s current injuries. There’s also plenty more to get through, including Tom Blamires, Cooper Harvey, Zac Taylor, Sam Banks, Jai Murray, Logan McDonald, Joe Richards, Shannon Neale, Ned Moyle and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Matty D’Sena to review Round 13 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Daniel Curtin was one of the big talking points of the round after producing his best score since returning to the Adelaide side. This week, he started on the wing before spending more time behind the ball, where he was able to take marks and get involved. We discuss whether this is the start of something more relevant, and whether there’s any chance he eventually works his way into an inside midfield role. Will Setterfield also put up a ton for Essendon, continuing a strong run since coming back into the side. With his role looking more inside than wing-based at the moment, we look at whether he’s worth holding, or whether this is the perfect time for draft and keeper league coaches to sell high. Patrick Voss was the big score that would have hurt plenty of coaches on the weekend, finishing with 20 disposals, 10 marks and four goals. Key forwards can be hard to trust, but with Fremantle flying, we discuss whether Voss is more than just a one-week spike and how streamable he is in the right matchups. We also dig into Patrick Dangerfield’s big game, Sam De Koning’s ruck role, Connor O’Sullivan officially becoming 2G4P, Blake Acres putting himself back on the radar, Neil Erasmus getting more midfield time, Jack Bowes continuing to score when selected, and Hugo Hall-Kahan as another name worth watching. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

This week Heff is joined by Jordy D’Sena to review Round 12 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. Billy Wilson was one of the big stories of the round after producing another strong score in what looks like a fantasy-friendly half-back role. With Carlton giving him kick-ins and enough ball use behind the play, we break down whether this is something that can stick, or whether draft and keeper league coaches need to be careful before getting too carried away. Blake Acres also returned to the Carlton side and immediately put himself back on the radar. He has been a proven 75-80 average type in the past, and with injuries opening up opportunities, we discuss whether he’s worth a waiver look and what his role might look like moving forward. Pete Ladhams reminded everyone why he’s always worth streaming when he gets the solo ruck role. With Brodie Grundy out, One Week Pete delivered again, and we look at just how useful he can be in the right matchup, even if the opportunity might only be short-term. We also dig into the other big scores, waiver targets and role changes from the round, with plenty of names to discuss including Patrick Voss, Rory Lobb, Jack Silvagni, Lachie Cowan, Jye Amiss, Toby Bedford, Harry Kyle, Cameron Nairn and Saad El-Hawli. Plus, we take a look at the mid-season draftees and discuss which players could have fantasy relevance in draft and keeper leagues moving forward. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

Nathan O’Driscoll was one of the big stories of the round after producing the first strong score of his AFL season. It was the kind of performance that makes draft and keeper league coaches take notice, but with such a small sample size, we break down whether there’s something Fantasy-relevant here or whether we need to see a bit more before getting too carried away. Finn O’Sullivan has been showing signs all season, and Round 11 was another reminder of why he’s a name worth tracking in keeper leagues. The talent has been obvious, but we discuss how the role, scoring and opportunity are coming together, and whether he’s starting to move from long-term watchlist player into someone who can help sooner rather than later. Phoenix Gothard also popped up with a big score, and while it might end up being more of a one-off than a true breakout, performances like this are still worth digging into. We look at what worked, whether there’s any role change behind it, and how seriously keeper league coaches should take it. We also dig into the other big scores, waiver targets and role changes from the round, with plenty of names to discuss beyond the headline trio. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

James Trezise was one of the big stories of the round after his 108 against St Kilda. He found plenty of the footy in defence, taking 11 marks from 24 disposals, and with Essendon up next, there could be another friendly matchup on the way. The role looks nice, but we break down whether this is a proper keeper league play or just a spike in the right conditions. Mac Andrew is right back in the conversation after another strong score, going 85 against Port Adelaide in a friendly matchup for key defenders. His ruck time has dropped with Witts and Moyle both in the side, but the defensive role is still producing, with Mac now averaging 93.7 across his last three and 88 across his last five. We discuss whether he’s becoming a genuine B2P option, not just a 2G4P streamer. Matthew Carroll had his breakout game on the wing for Carlton, finishing with 16 disposals, 10 marks, 3 goals and 96 AFL Fantasy points at 100% disposal efficiency. It was a really clean performance in a role that can score when things fall his way, but the big question is whether he can back it up and become a genuine draft and keeper league option. We also dig into the other big scores, waiver targets and role changes from the round, including Oisin Mullin, Sullivan Robey, Billy Wilson, Jack Ison, Jack Macrae, Tom McCartin, Will Setterfield, Shannon Neale, Ben Miller, Will Hayward, Bailey J. Williams, Jack Carroll, Lachie Cowan, Karl Worner, Harley Reid, Kade Chandler and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

Cameron Zurhaar is back on the radar after a big 110 playing across half-back for North Melbourne. The role has been a bit up and down so far, but with 22 disposals, 10 marks and a goal, we ask whether this is the week that makes him a genuine draft and keeper league option again. Jordan De Goey fell just short of 2G4P status, but his 118 against Geelong was a serious reminder of what he can do in that MID/FWD role. He’s now averaging 95 across his last three, so the big question is whether he’s finally back to being the player fantasy coaches have been waiting on — and whether we can trust his body from here. Ed Langdon’s season looks to have turned around since the move to half-back. With Salem and Xavier Lindsay out of the side, he’s found a new role and cashed in with 114 from 29 disposals and 10 marks. We discuss whether this is just a short-term fix or a role that could actually stick. We also dig into the other big performances, role changes and waiver wire names from the round, including Tom Papley, Sam Durham, Bruce Reville, Levi Ashcroft, Connor Budarick, Aliir Aliir, Mac Andrew, Daniel Rioli, Jeremy Howe, Scott Pendlebury, Jake Lever and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

Massimo D’Ambrosio is back on the 2G4P list after another strong score on the wing. It was a friendly matchup, but with three good games in a row, we ask whether he has finally turned a corner and become a legitimate draft and keeper league option again. Sam Cumming has wasted no time making an impact, going straight into Richmond’s midfield mix and attending 23 centre bounces this week. With Taranto out and Prestia going down early, the opportunity is clearly there — and he now looks like one of the most interesting young names to track moving forward. Noah Balta might be the wildest talking point of the week, rucking for Richmond and scoring 119 with 20 hit-outs. With DEF/FWD status and Richmond short on ruck options, we discuss whether this is just a short-term fix or something that could actually hold value for fantasy coaches. We also dig into the other big role changes and waiver wire names from the round, including Kane McAuliffe, Tom Brown, Lincoln McCarthy, Sam Durham, Colby McKercher, Liam Henry, Peter Wright and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike.

Patrick Retschko headlines the week as one of the most important waiver wire moves, backing up his role change with another strong score across halfback. With Richmond committing to that setup and opportunity opening up, this looks like more than a one-week spike — and the competition is starting to react. Lincoln McCarthy might be the biggest role shift of the round. A move to half back completely flipped his scoring profile, piling on disposals and marks in a way we haven’t seen before. The big question now is whether Brisbane sticks with it, because if they do, this changes everything for his value. Hugo Garcia has officially arrived as a genuine 2G4P option. The CBAs are there, the confidence is growing, and he’s now producing like a legitimate midfield contributor rather than a fringe piece. This feels like a proper breakout moment rather than a flash in the pan. Christian Moraes is another one turning heads, stepping into a wing role and delivering immediately. After strong SANFL form, he looks like he belongs at the level and fills a need Port have clearly been searching for. There’s real upside here if the role holds. Across the board, there are plenty of emerging names putting their hand up — but as always, it’s about working out what’s sustainable and what’s matchup or role-dependent noise.

Cam Zurhaar headlines the week with a monster performance in a new half-back role, showing just how valuable role shifts can be in keeper formats. It’s not often you see a bull that far from his paddock and rack it up like that, and it’s already sparked plenty of waiver wire movement. Elijah Tsatas continues his rise since returning to Essendon's side, starting to put it all together with his midfield work. The signs are strong that this is no longer just potential - this could be the breakout stretch. Miles Bergman looks like he might finally be back. With Port controlling the game and allowing their defenders to accumulate, we saw glimpses of the scoring profile we know he’s capable of. The big question now: is this the turning point or just a one-off? We also dive into the evolving 2G4P landscape, with more players ticking the boxes and others falling just short. Role changes, CBAs, and team trends are becoming more reliable indicators, and identifying these early is key to staying ahead in keeper leagues. Across the competition, there’s a growing list of up-and-coming players putting their hand up — whether it’s through increased midfield time, new roles, or simply taking their opportunity. Knowing which of these are real and which are noise is what separates the good teams from the great ones. And finally… is Andrew Brayshaw no longer too good for the podcast? Find out in this episode.

Round 5 had Gather Round taking centre stage — and it clearly took its toll. Heff and this week’s guest Checkers jump on after a massive weekend, a little dusty but still ready to break it all down. On the field, a few standout performances caught the eye. Angus Anderson impressed with a strong debut that immediately puts him on the radar, while Nick Madden made a serious statement in the ruck with a performance that’s sure to get people talking. Bailey J Williams also stood out, capitalising on his opportunity and reminding everyone of the value he can bring in the right setup. Across the rest of the round, it was another mix of role changes, matchup-driven scores and evolving trends that are starting to shape the early part of the season. There’s still plenty to work through, but the picture is becoming clearer with each passing week. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode dives into the key takeaways you need to stay ahead — even if the boys are running slightly below 100% this week.

Round 4 gave us another big look at how roles are evolving — and a few key storylines that could have serious keeper league implications. Jacob Farrow headlines the week, with the underage prospect producing his first ton and putting his name firmly on the fantasy radar. It was a glimpse of the ceiling — and a reminder of just how high his long-term value could be. In Adelaide, the ruck debate looks all but settled. Lachlan McAndrew dominated with a huge performance, while Reilly O’Brien struggled, strengthening the case that McAndrew is now the Crows’ clear No. 1 ruck moving forward. Tom Sparrow continues to be one of the more interesting fantasy stories early in the season, thriving through increased midfield time despite still holding forward status — a combination that makes him incredibly valuable across draft and keeper formats. Across the round, we also saw more players push into 2G4P territory, with names like McAndrew, Riley Bice, Bohdi Uwland, Will Powell and Sparrow now ticking that box, while others continue to hover on the edge. There were big scores in the right roles, a few performances boosted by soft matchups, and more clarity starting to emerge around which trends are real. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode breaks down the players, roles, and early-season shifts you need to know to stay ahead.

Round 3 delivered some huge fantasy performances and a few key shifts that are starting to shape the season. Harvey Thomas headlines the week with a ton, continuing a trajectory that now has him firmly on the keeper radar. Josh Treacy delivered a monster performance up forward, while Tom Powell looks set for FWD status — a move that could have implications across draft and keeper leagues. We also break down Luke Trainor’s standout role in defence, Shai Bolton’s ceiling and consistency concerns, and a range of players building momentum through role changes and favourable matchups. Across the round, we saw big scores in the right spots, some misleading performances against weaker opposition, and more names pushing into 2G4P consideration. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode will help you stay ahead of the pack and identify the players, roles, and trends that matter most early in the season.

Round 2 is in the books and there’s already some huge fantasy storylines starting to take shape across the competition. On this episode we break down all the key takeaways from the weekend, headlined by a monster performance from Jason Horne-Francis, who looks ready to take his game to another level with increased midfield time. We also dive into Joel Freijah’s breakout performance, Bodhi Uwland’s massive score off half back, and another strong showing from Josh Treacy as he continues to build towards genuine keeper relevance. Sam Berry put together one of his best fantasy performances to date, further cementing his importance in Adelaide’s midfield, while a number of role changes and emerging trends are beginning to shape how we view players moving forward. Across the round we saw inflated scores in certain matchups, key injuries that could open up new opportunities, and more names pushing onto the 2G4P radar. If you're playing draft or keeper leagues, this episode will help you stay ahead of the pack and identify the players, roles, and trends that matter most early in the season.
