A condensed gang gets together to celebrate some huge round scores (notably, Will makes it to the top 1000!)! With only one week to go, it's all about throwing your money at the final trades and crossing your fingers. The gang jam on some under and over valued players, VC-loophole trade targets and captains.

Please excuse and enjoy the rain sounds of the Melbourne night storm in the back of Mel’s mic after ~1 hour.

It was a weekend of carnage for a lot of fantasy coaches, with in excess of 6 premiums missing. That carnage was the scene for the pod's most successful week however, with Jono finishing at 30th for the round, and Liam (somehow) finishing as the round's top scorer!

The full crew of Mel, Jono, Liam and Will get together to talk about the best ins & outs for the last 2 rounds of the season, focusing in on the strategy behi...

Four weeks to go, four chances to climb those ranks. Some late outs and floor scores caused some havoc in round eight, with some lower scores across the board for Fantasy coaches.  

Jono, Mel and Will get together to discuss how best to tackle ownership strategy for the rest of the season, and discuss a few of the more unique options that coaches could jump on in the last four rounds.

The whole gang is back together again, two of which are doing verrryyy well on the Fantasy rankings after a big week! (Hint: its not Mel or Will). Hot Topics include a refresh of Free Kick's Sweet 16, including comparisons to our Week 4 Preview rankings and the current averages. With only 5 weeks to go the gang review which highly owned players are at the end of their line and need to be moved on, and who we can be targeting instea...

Along with Ebony Marinoff's triumphant return to the top of the averages, it was Kiara Bowers' turn to remind coaches why she is the original AFLW Fantasy superstar. All the big names shone across the weekend, so how do we fit them all into our teams? Join the team this week as Will's return sparks plenty of conversations about risky trade plans, as Free Kick break down all the hot topics and lessons learned at the half way point o...

The return of the fantasy superstar Ebony Marinoff to the upper echelon of fantasy scoring set the tone for a very high scoring Round 5. 

To break down the hottest topics ahead of Round 6, a skeleton crew of Liam and Jono were joined by second-time guest DC from men's Fantasy podcast 'Hat Chat'!

Round 4 saw the AFLW Fantasy community struck down by the first late withdrawal of the season: popular cash generator Tessa Boyd missing her clash with Collingwood with back spasms. There were also a few surprising 100+ scores, some new roles to decipher, and a couple of disppointing rookies signalling their time to leave our squads. 

Round 5 is the beginning of upgrade season, so the gang spent a lot of time talking about how...

Round 3 had a lot going on, good and bad! The AFLW record for the highest score was broken TWICE (good, unless you're a Fremantle supporter) and amogst others, 2024 Grand Final Best on Ground Jas Garner went down injured (bad). Amongst this chaos the gang chat through their first Sweet 16 for the season, Dr. Will summarises the weekends injuries and we once again debate whether we believe some of these pop scores or not.

The gang get together to chat the round that was and dive into the hot topics coming into Round 3!
