Practice matches are done and the first real AFL Fantasy 2026 signals are on the board.In this episode, we break down the biggest pre-season practice match takeaways for keeper leagues, including role changes, usage shifts, and what actually matters heading into draft season.We deep dive into Sam Flanders' monster performance, why he already looks like a genuine 2G4P keeper-league asset, and what his role tells us about Gold Coast's midfield mix. We also analyse Connor Macdonald's midfield role, plus Connor Budarick's move into a half-back distributor role and how that impacts his fantasy ceiling.There's also much, much more player analysis in this episode as we go through every practice match from the past week, discussing all the fantasy-relevant players, emerging roles, and performances worth paying attention to — and which ones are probably noise.If you're building for the future or trying to identify early keeper league stars, this is essential listening.If you want to support the podcast and the work that goes into these episodes, becoming a member genuinely makes a huge difference.
The Phantom, Chief, and Five Names delve into all the big names from the first round of AFL practice matches in 2026. Is Lachlan McAndrew legit? Could Lachlan Blakiston save our defensive line? Is fading Tristan Xerri growing legs? Is Sam Flanders the greatest player in the history of the game? Plenty of questions need answering as we get our first proper taste of practice match action. Plus, Five Names breaks some news on a new cheapie from the Crows, The Phantom's new ruck setup, and The Chief botches his keeper league draft.

Traditionally our cheapest players can be the most profitable cash cows that help increase team value and allows you to work towards an epic team for Fantasy finals.
