Forwards forwards forwards… Every year we lose the gun mids with forward status yet, we are usually left with some solid value.. This year however, it feels the trickiest it has been to nail down 6 starting options that we are comfortable with in our starting squads.. To Sheez or not to Sheez? Can we pay up for premiums with an early bye? How many mid-pricers is too many? All this and more on the podcast this week!In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the forward line. Lewy reveals his projected top 6 and the boys discuss who we can consider starting, the breakout guys are discussed in length as well as all the mid-priced guys who we may need to consider if the forward rookies don't present.

It seems as though the midfield line is the last line being filled in our fantasy sides this year, with value presenting in defence and then the decisions to be made around the forwards and rucks. Some coaches are spending up in the mids, whilst others are looking at potentially 4 rookies on field! How you structure up will be crucial for success in AFL Fantasy this year!

Is the defensive line going to be one of the trickier lines to pick this year? It always seems that the top end defenders are fairly or over-priced, but with so many top end premiums having an early bye to start 2026, how will you go about picking players in your defensive line?In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the defensive line.

This week, the lads are celebrating 150 episodes of the PODPOD by bringing back the man that started it all. He has been known by many names over the years including but not limited to Buzz Dossyear, Dosby Lee-Steere and Dossy. That's right, Murdoch has given him a free pass as long as he hits his SuperCoach mentions quota. Fresh from tracking long effective kicks, contested possessions and spoils, Dossy makes his long anticipated return.On this episode Holmesy, Lewy, Harmey, Sam and Dosby review the first round of the multi-bye rounds, where many coaches found themselves hurting with only 18 or 19 players on field. They talk general bye strategy, look at players to target off the bye and answer a stack of listener questions.

We're back - in black - to get things rolling for Ramblin in 2024. We're checking in with the MIB franchise, investigating the bad case of sequelitius that seems to have infected the Barry Sonnenfeld directed follow up to the 1997 sci-fi comedy classic. Both Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return from Amblin past, and so does our guest -critic and broadcaster Rihanna Dillon. Together, we dig into the film's dragged out road to production, stressful shooting schedule and try to put our finger on just what is missing from this misfire of a sequel. But always remember, when there's an Amblin movie to discuss, the elite is here, so have no fear, just, let me see you, NOD YA HEAD. You can follow Rhianna on Twitter @RhiannaDhillon and you can listen to her on BBC Radio 6 Music and catch PodPod (@podpodofficiak) wherever you get your podcasts. Follow the podcast on Twitter (@RamblinAmblin) and be sure to like and subscribe so you don't miss an episode! Get in touch with us either via Twitter or email rambinaboutamblin@gmail.com. Please feel free to give us a 5-star review, share your favourite Amblin movies and tell us if ET makes you cry. Ramblin is created and produced by Andrew Gaudion and Joshua Glenn. A special thanks as always to Emily Tatham for the artwork, and Robert J. Hunter-Clayton & Greg Sheffield for the theme music.
