We're back (again). We didn't get a lot of podcasts done in 2022, but we are keen to try and podcast whenever we get the chance in 2023.
This podcast is focused on the offseason changes for all clubs, and whether they start 2023 in a better position, a similar position, or a worse position.

[BONUS EP] I mentioned last time that we don't do too many of these bonus eps, but here is another one while we work on long-form content for the next podcast.
This episode is cover the concept of 'groupthink'. It has been mention a lot in the last few days that the fantasy footy community suffers from groupthink, so I thought we should first explore what the concept of groupthink is, and see if it applies to fantasy footy (or real footy).

Episode 4 for 2022, and it's the final part of the 3 part series reviewing the new opportunities facing clubs. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we are deep diving into what it all means. Who is ready for an expanded role or opportunity in 2022? Who's had players come in who could restrict their chances? Is there a new coach who could be ready to usher in a new era? We tackle all this and more in part 3 of this 3 part podcast, featuring Port Adelaide to the Western Bulldogs.

[BONUS EP] We don't do too many of these bonus eps, but we may have to do a few more in future as we don't always have time to get to the Twitter questions and suggestions on our regularly scheduled pods.
This episode is covering off the 2021 AFL Draftees, and who John thinks will make a good keeper league prospect. N.B. If you are in a keeper league with me, it is illegal to listen to this content as you will learn too much about my strategy, and it has been used against me before.

Episode 2 for 2022, and we will continue to review the new opportunities facing clubs. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we are deep diving into what it all means.

We are finally back in the booth and are ready to kick of 2022 with a bang. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we decided to do a deep dive into what it all means.

We are so close to the draft now, but there is so much to still talk about before we hear the first pick announced on Wednesday night. We discuss the ceiling and floor of some top 10 prospects, and some of the more interesting players outside of the top 10. We then launch into our final Consensus Draft Rankings for 2021.

Here we are with the 2nd Round of the the annual Live Trading Mock Draft with dream team from Rookie Me Central. If you're new to this special episode, this is no ordinary mock draft. We have 7 draft followers on the podcast, and each of us are assigned some clubs to assume the role of club list managers. We can trade picks, bid of academy prospects, and it gets very awesome, very quickly. The 1st round is already available and will help inform what goes on here, so check that out too and enjoy!

We wanted to record an episode where we could take stock of what's unfolded in the past 3 weeks, as there has been a lot of change in AFL teams, but also in our lives. We start by reflecting on the Dee's GF victory, jump into a mental health minute, before moving into a free agency moves and trades review. At the end, we take a little look at what it may take to make progress on a few of the pending trades.
-
We hinted at a new format for the rest of the list reviews and here is the first rendition of what that new format could be. We have broken the sides up into different groups where we can compare them against like sides, and comment on their different approaches to the same task, rebuilding. Today we focus on the Adelaide Crows, North Melbourne Kangaroos, Collingwood Magpies, and Hawthorn Hawks.

Part 2 of our key re-signing episodes, focusing on the clubs from the Hawks to the Bulldogs.

The home and away season has come to an end, and there are still a bunch of lists we haven’t reviewed. This podcast should cover off some of the key timely features of those list reviews, with a look at your clubs key out of contract players coming into the offseason. Part 1 is ADE-GWS, Part 2 (coming) is HAW-WBD.
-
The Cats have been holding on for years and they continue down the path of topping up with older players to keep the window ajar. They finished on top in 2019 but failed to fire in finals, finished top 4 in 2020 and made the grand final, and are set for another top 2/4 finish in 2021. The Cats are still running out of time, but in this league you need to be lucky and/or do something different to everyone else to have a chance, and Geelong are certainly doing that.
-
Port Adelaide are well placed for a flag tilt. Currently top 4, top 4 last year, but they need to get some mid/forwards back on the park soon to balance out a midfield that can lack hurt factor. We have a pretty clear way forward for the Power, so let’s see how they approach this off-season.
-
One of the best sides over the last few seasons, the Brisbane Lions have been growing steadily, are well balanced all across the park, and have added some key pieces to a premiership assault over the past 2 seasons. They are as well placed as any side, but do they have what it takes to go all the way, or are they still a brick or two short?
-
We often start our list reviews with cellar dwellers, or clubs that could have a big say in the offseason, so it was a refreshing change of pace to review a club who is doing so much right. There are still some areas of improvement though as the Tigers hold for more success while preparing for life after some stars.
-
Well, Carlton’s incoming President Luke Sayers may not have sayered that he wanted Lystics to lead the external review, but we’ve taken it upon our selves to contribute. Always a fun list to review, we take a look at what the Blues need to address in the coming months to be set up for the next 1-4 years.
-
This is the first episode for 2021 in our list review series. We are starting by addressing the Saints, who we missed in 2020 after they shot up the ladder on the back of radical list changes. 2021 looks like a tougher prospect for the Saints though, who continued to make sweeping changes to their list. Have they gone a step too far, or do they still have time to recover.
