And just like that, the bye rounds are upon us! Coaches are about to enter 4 rounds of best 18, with all players set to have a bye at some point in the next 4 weeks. Historically, this is where the good coaches can surge up the rankings as they trade their way towards a completed team! As coaches scramble to fix red dots, upgrade their failing mid-pricers and trade into underpriced premiums, this round of trading will prove to be one of the most important this year! Never fear, the PODPOD lads have you covered!

On this monster episode, Holmesy, Harmey and Lewy review their rounds, discuss bye round strategy, talk about a number of relevant players and answer a stack of listener questions. In one of their best chats yet, this episode is not one to be missed. Stay tuned towards the end as the lads make a heartfelt announcement about the future of the PODPOD.

After the chaos of round 8, round 9 treated coaches to a bit of normality as we saw some big scoring return to AFL Fantasy. Captains were back with ceiling scores from popular premiums such as Marshall, Daicos and Butters which saw many coaches pushing above 2200 and even further north! However, many issues are starting to appear with a change of role for Harry Sheezel, many of the popular rookie options starting to max out in price and our forward lines still looking like absolute chaos!!

We dug deep this week on the podcast… with the panel containing 6 hats between them, 4 top ten finishes and a current average 2024 rank of…. 9k!!! Join Holmesy, Harmey and special guest DT Lemon as they review their rounds, discuss a number of the key strategies for round 10 and answer a stack of listener questions. As we continue to grind through this bumper AFL Fantasy season, the PODPOD crew have you covered each week to ensure you keep improving your teams and climbing the ranks! Enjoy!!

Round 8…. What…was….that!!!??? Carnage, carnage, carnage! Beginning with a Connor Rozee sub on Thursday night, coaches thought things couldn’t get any worse and boy were they wrong! Tom Green, Zac Williams, Elliot Yeo and Jye Caldwell all headline a number of popular premiums that found themselves injured, with Jordon Sweet adding himself to that list on Wednesday. There were bullets everywhere and it has left coaches wishing they were playing other formats that have access to trade boosts. Never fear, the PODPOD lads are here to dissect a round from hell and to help set you up in a position to improve your team despite ideal circumstances!

The panel is a bit different this week, with Holmesy joined by Steve Fizz from the Draft Doctors and Bails from the AFL Fantasy Fanatics as they help you navigate the strategy required for round 9. They review the round that was, discuss key strategy now and leading into the byes, discuss a bunch up trade targets and answer all of your listener questions. With many coaches wondering where to go from here, this episode is not to be missed!
