04 Dec 2024 | The Holmes Files - AFL Fantasy Classic Winner 2024 Chris | 00:55:58 | |
Some people enjoy a long off-season, but for many die hard AFL Fantasy coaches the pre season can be one of the most exciting times of the year! Holmesy has decided to dust off the mics and bring you a special Holmes File episode - sitting down with Chris the coach of "Noeyedeer5" to discuss his epic fantasy season that concluded with him driving away in a brand new Toyota Hilux! A staple for many fantasy coaches pre-season, join us as we learn from the reigning champ. On this episode, Holmesy takes a deep dive into the thought process behind what made Chris so successful in 2024. We discuss the important early bye round strategy, dissect his trading strategy and how he set himself up to be successful, how he capitalised during the mid season byes, and the epic trading that saw him take out first place. Discussing all things strategy and philosophy, this episode is not one to be missed. Welcome back AFL Fantasy!

Continuing with our player position preview series, this week we are talking about the real big dogs, the RUCKS! With what seems like excess cash to spend this year, coaches are finding that they are able to spend up big in the ruck line if they wish. Do coaches “set and forget?” Do coaches spend up on one expensive ruck and then try to find value? Or do coaches go full value mode with some cheaper options? All this strategy and more is covered in this episode! In this episode, Two-time top 10 finisher Harmey and friend of the podcast Jackson Davey or JD as he is better known in the fantasy community talk all things rucks! Whether you are interested in an expensive ruckman like Xerri or Marshall, or are considering value options such as TDK and Darcy, this podcast has you covered!

05 Feb 2024 | Brisbane Lions AFL Fantasy 2024 team preview | #PODPOD | 00:21:51 | |
The Brisbane Lions fell agonisingly short of taking the ultimate glory in 2023, but from an AFL Fantasy perspective, they cause some agony of their own for fantasy coaches.

The lads discuss the gross early Lions bye, plus touch on all the relevant players, including Keidean Coleman, Josh Dunkley, Hugh McCluggage, Lachie Neale, Zac Bailey, Cam Rayner, and much more!

Chayce Jones and Jason Johannison were two names that perhaps nobody in the fantasy community thought they'd be talking about this year — but here we are! It's time to stop talking about Gather Round as we continue to navigate the treacherous suspension-filled AFL Fantasy season and improve our teams... but are we really ready for 'upgrade season' just yet?

15 Apr 2024 | Return of the STATESMAN | Holmesy's Apology | Welcome to the Ball Boys AFL Fantasy Podcast | #PODPOD | 01:02:44 | |
What a rollercoaster of emotions AFL Fantasy threw up for coaches in round 5. Many coaches got off to an absolute flier with a Max Gawn vice captaincy and it seemed coaches were in for a big one! However, just 24 hours later this was flipped on its head with popular premium Marcus Bontempelli putting up his worst score since 2015!! It didn’t get much better from there with other popular premiums Dawson, Sarong and Green all putting up scores that have coaches wishing they hadn’t forked out the big bucks!!! Thank goodness for the rookies who pulled through showing once again that “guns and rookies” has been a good strategy in the best 18 system. As long as you pick the right guns!!! After much deliberation, we are finally joined once again by the Statesman who has finally been given permission from Mrs Stato to rejoin the podcast. We are also joined by special guests Mitch and Luke from the Ball Boys AFL Fantasy Podcast as they help Holmesy, Lewy, Harmey and Stato review round 5 and help prepare for the last of the bye rounds. This episode includes an apology from Holmesy, a strategy round table, player discussion and a Q&A section dedicated to our listeners as the race towards a Hilux and glory heats up!!!

06 Jan 2025 | Player Positions Preview - MIDFIELDERS feat Stevie Fizz from the Draft Doctors #PODPOD | 00:55:55 | |
This episode kicks off the player positions with the big dogs, the MIDFIELDERS. Previously, the midfielders have been the most important players, putting up the scores that were often relied upon for coaches as their captain and vice captains. However, last season saw a drop in midfielder scores, with only one player scoring above 110. An outlier, or a change in the way the AFL is being played? Who knows! But what we do know, because of this many of our midfield premiums seem to present upside and value On this episode, two-time top 10 finisher Harmey and special guest Steve Fizz from The Draft Doctors join Holmesy as they discuss a whole bunch of midfield premiums. Each co-host brings three premiums up for discussion, before they answer a stack of listener requests. With 2025 seeming as if we have cash to spend up in the midfield, the decisions on who to start could be crucial in getting off to a flier in AFL Fantasy. This episode is not to be missed!

18 Dec 2024 | The Holmes Files - AFL Fantasy Classic Runner Up 2024 Tom | 00:56:20 | |
It is a long pre season, but Holmesy is back with another episode of the Holmes Files. It is December, but we are days away from AFL Fantasy opening, The Traders beginning their club previews and the 50 most relevant beginning. After speaking with the winner of AFL Fantasy classic in 2024 on the last episode, Tom Hales the coach of "PomUnited" joined Holmesy to discuss his epic season where he led the comp from round 13, getting pipped at the post. On this episode, Holmesy takes a deep dive into the thought process behind what made Tom so successful in 2024. We discuss the important early bye round strategy, dissect his trading strategy and how he set himself up to be successful, how he capitalised during the mid season byes, and some of the mistakes he made that ultimately had him finish in second place. We also take a quick look into the upcoming 2025 season and some strategy behind how we look to build our squads. Enjoy! This episode was brought to you by Magic Sports.

06 Feb 2024 | Collingwood FC AFL Fantasy 2024 team preview | #PODPOD | 00:28:37 | |
The reigning Premiers were also home to one of the most exciting AFL Fantasy prospects of all time, Nick Daicos. Following an incredible rookie year and backing it up in year two, the third-year stud is currently 50% owned by the competition. Is this too high considering their opening-round bye? Is it too low considering he's looking like the clear D1? Dos, Harmey, and Lewy break down all things Nick Daicos, then look at a bunch of other potential options at the Pies, including Jordan De Goey, Finlay Macrae, Josh Daicos, Jack Crisp, Tom Mitchell, and much more!

14 Jun 2023 | James Sicily's suspension stalemate, Jack Steele soldiers on, and escaping the 20K BermuDos Triangle with 4th OVERALL* ranked coach — Holmesy! | Round 13 AFL Fantasy #PODPOD | 01:02:14 | |
What a week! In a challenging week for many AFL Fantasy coaches, our very own Holmesy went BANG, soaring him up the ranks to sit FOURTH OVERALL*!!! * ...for the round. The PODPOD crew investigate the James Sicily scenarios (now that he's appealing his three-match suspension), including who may benefit in his absence should he indeed cop a lengthy ban. There is plenty more to talk about, including whether playing fewer players on field is a viable option in the next two weeks — IF you're bringing in the right players! Dossy ponders why he can't escape the top 20k ranks in a new conspiracy theory...

27 Jan 2025 | Player Position Previews - DEFENDERS feat Luke from The Ball Boys #PODPOD | 01:05:40 | |
The lads continue with their player position previews in AFL Fantasy this week with the defenders.

Do you spend up in a year where value is hard to find? All these questions and more are discussed on the podcast! On this episode, Holmesy is joined by Harmey and Luke from The Ball Boys as they discuss all things DEFENDERS! The episode starts with general strategy chat, followed by in-depth discussion on players brought to the table by the panel and finishes by playing like or dislike with a whole bunch of listener requests.

20 Jan 2025 | Player Positions Preview - FORWARDS feat the Warne Dawg #PODPOD | 01:01:46 | |
The lads continue with their player position previews in AFL Fantasy this week with the forward line. So far in 2025 there has been a general consensus that our forward lines will be vanilla, with Smith, Daniel, Macrae and Phillipou all having greater than 50% ownership so early in the pre-season. Where there has been discussion is around structure and whether or not we are paying up and trying to find value in an F1, or whether we are looking to find some other value picks or rookies. On this episode, Holmesy is joined by Harmey, Lewy and the Pod Father himself Warnie from The Traders as they discuss all things forwards. The 4 popular players are discussed as well as a stack of others that were requested by the listeners. As well as players, they have a general strategy discussion about structure and how things are looking moving into 2025. Enjoy! Like this episode?

It seems as though the Cats are closing in on a full rebuild in the next few years. But is 2024 the last hurrah?

Round 7 saw a mixed bag for coaches, with many good teams copping bullets whilst others remained steady on their rise towards a top 100 cap.

For coaches in good spots, it’s time to attack!! Whilst other coaches find themselves in a hole desperately hoping to find a way to fight back into the season! Join Harmey, Holmesy and Stevie Fizz of the Draft Doctors as they dissect the round that was and guide you towards your trades for round 8. The lads review their rounds, talk about many relevant trade targets and discuss players who potentially need to be traded out.

Gather Round has been and gone and what a crazy week we had for AFL Fantasy with a return to a best 22 team. Popular rookies such as Sharp, Reid and Dempsey ensured that coaches with a ‘guns and rookies’ approach kept their season rolling in the right direction, with many monster scores from popular premiums such as Bontempelli, Rozee and Sheezel meaning there were some monster scores from coaches that were able to pull away from the pack!!
