The Boys are Back! | PODPOD AFL Fantasy Starting Team Draft | #PODPOD

The PODPOD - AFL Fantasy Podcast

They tried to escape, but Holmesy has dragged them back in! With the AFL Fantasy classic platform opening, many coaches have now been scrambling to create their first team (or 20th) for the upcoming 2025 AFL Fantasy season. It is the best time of year, with every team being created seeming like it is the one that will take home the coveted Toyota Hilux

On this episode, Holmesy has brought the big PODPOD staples Harmey and Lewy back with a bang. After a quick catch up, the boys got involved in a PODPOD classic, where they took turns drafting an AFL Fantasy classic side from scratch. With many players discussed, this episode gives an insight into what goes on when building an AFL Fantasy classic side. With a few vetos and some rogue picks, this episode is not to be missed!
