35.892 - 36.793 Roy

I think it's on the cards.

0

36.894 - 46.128 Calvin

Fantastic. Maybe some moves that might be forced or your hand might be... Put there, we saw Riley Cow, Beveridge, say titles. Oh, yes, yep.

0

46.709 - 54.941 Warnie

What? Well, look, you don't need to be an Einstein to get a game. Well, no, he didn't say that. He said there's a very good chance that Todd might not get a game.

0

Chapter 6: What should I know about trading in players this round?

54.961 - 57.826 Calvin

You announced that on last Friday night, actually. At halftime.

0

57.866 - 60.53 Warnie

That was breaking news about six days ago.

0

60.55 - 77.696 Calvin

The other one, Joyce Rong, a little bit of a hammy, apparently, coming out of Sydney. That's a spanner. So that might be the one, well... I think everyone's trading someone. Yeah. A rookie. He's one of those ones that have hit their price, might have been saved because others might go before him, but he might now be the one that goes because of that.

0

77.716 - 98.03 Roy

Well, it sounds like it. The thing is with him, he was my safest one. Same. I just loved having him there. He was my rock. Yeah. So you've basically named two rookies. Yep. Like, that's not a big deal. Toddles. You talked about toddles like it was a forced move, like someone would have him on the ground. It's a primo out, yeah. Well, Cal had him on his ground. Oh, apologies. Yes, I did. Sorry.

0

98.23 - 103.079 Roy

But not anymore, Roy. Not anymore. No, I don't think so. He would have been in your plans anyway.

Chapter 7: Which players are the best trade options for this week?

103.199 - 112.796 Roy

Oh, yeah. When he had negative three at halftime last week, I could see it in your eye that you... You had trade plans. I did. Writing was on the wall. Yes, it was.

0

112.816 - 122.799 Calvin

100%. Now, one of my favourite things to do on a Thursday is to read Fantasy Ready. Yes, it is, dog.

0

122.819 - 127.71 Roy

Where do you find it? I've never seen it. No, it's in there. One of my favourite articles. Top of the AFL article.

0

127.69 - 150.594 Calvin

If you go to slash fantasy, afl.com.au slash fantasy, you'll find it nice and easily. It goes up on a Thursday, and it's a fantastic read. Just Google greatest article ever, and it'll pop up. I read it last week. I'm sure you did. You're welcome. And it said Hugh McCluggage. Yep. Mid, $808,000 trap. Keep reading. We talked about this. Keep reading. He's a trade target to keep an eye on.

0

150.735 - 167.705 Calvin

Yep, keep going. Keep an eye on. Keep going. But since he's returned, McCluggage hasn't played over 70% game time. Thank you. He's been managed over the last three weeks, and we can't launch until this changes. Yep, until this changes. Until it changes. Yep. Why did you launch last week? Because it hadn't changed before that.

167.725 - 172.309 Warnie

Well, Jordan Dawson wasn't playing, so that was a spanner in the works.

172.629 - 195.549 Calvin

Now, my question is this one, Calvin Adams. So this week, Language Matters. Yes, I'm very well. Hugh McCluggage bid $806,000. Was it the 2K that he's cheap at? 2K, now he's cheap. Treat. Yes. For the second week running, he says. He's trying to rewrite history here. No. McCluggage is a treat worth picking. Yes, correct. He is. Calvin Adams. I'm not sure where you're going.

195.57 - 200.819 Calvin

Don't you ever call me deceptive again. No. Don't you ever think you're all innocent.

200.839 - 208.253 Warnie

Do you not understand that when Jordan Dawson was out... No, I don't think you understand. When Jordan Dawson was out, that's called a spanner, right?

Chapter 8: What are the final tips for managing your AFL Fantasy team?

208.814 - 217.889 Warnie

So you pick up a trap. Why didn't you pick one of your treats? Not around... Yeah, exactly. There were no treats around the $800,000 mark, dog. Okay?

0

218.169 - 238.39 Calvin

All right, let's have a look at who people are bringing in at the moment. Grill, Sorong, Farrow, Jax, Smith. Did I say bring in? Out. Trading out. They're the outs. So all those rookies there. Sorong probably bumps up if he's, of course, named out shortly. Of course. Most traded in, Sam Cumming. Now, that was a little bit of news today. Another spanner. That's... Pretty interesting, isn't it?

0

238.41 - 252.233 Calvin

He is probably on track for... for some surgery sooner rather than later, they said, out of the club. It's just a bizarre situation. It is. So it's one to watch. Does that now, as non-owners, will you buy into him?

0

252.293 - 256.74 Roy

I don't think I can now. I think it would be borderline irresponsible. It would be because it might only be one week.

0

257.041 - 278.227 Calvin

He gets through to the buy. Does he? So that would be four weeks. However, if it is a little thing they need to do for the mid-season draft... That's where it might get interesting. Yeah, very interesting. For the list spot. Hugh McCluggage. Oh, the treat. He's at number two. You're welcome. Tony Murray, Nick Newman and Bailey Dale are the other top trading players.

278.247 - 299.274 Calvin

You can get those via Fantasy Coach, whether that's down the bottom on the desktop side. I'm seeing your team there and you can see the actual most popular trades, which are basically Grilled are coming, Farron are coming. Jagger to Cumming, Sorong to Cumming. The first top four trades. Then it is Jagger to Hugh McCluggage. You're welcome. The treat. And Grill to McCluggage.

299.515 - 308.467 Calvin

And then Newman's the first different name there in that. So you can see those as part of that. And, of course, via the players tab, which is an important part.

308.487 - 315.377 Warnie

Bit of a pattern where people are going then, isn't there, dog? It is. All right. Not an area I don't think I would, but fair enough. Hmm.

318.378 - 338.26 Calvin

Please fasten your seatbelts. The teams have landed. Here we go. Let's start with Friday Night Footy. We've got two games. The first one is 7.30 Brisbane and Carlton. We've got Dara Joyce in and Ty Gallop is injured. We've got for the Blues, George Hewitt's back. Hang on a second. Good for probably a lot of draft leagues, I would say.
