Zach Merrett is FINALLY a Hawk

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/05

Zach Merrett is a Hawk. Is he a 2027 AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach lock, or does Hawthorn's points spread kill his scoring?Eleven straight seasons averaging 100 or more. Now Zach walks into the best AFL Fantasy scoring team in the comp and the 4th best in SuperCoach. Sounds perfect. I'm not convinced.Here's the problem. Zach's market share of points has sat between 6.8% and 7.1% for four years. Hawthorn didn't have a single player above 5.5% in 2026. The Hawks score heaps, but they

Scott Pendlebury Departs Collingwood

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/05

Collingwood just traded the greatest player in their history. I never thought I'd say it. At 38, Scott Pendlebury still averaged 83.8 in SuperCoach and 79.2 in AFL Fantasy in 2026, with 20+ disposals in 12 of his 17 games.Gold Coast aren't buying a midfielder. They're buying an on-field coach. I break down why leadership cost the Suns in 2026, how Pendlebury helps Noah Anderson and that young group, and why I'd be surprised if he plays more than 12 to 15 games.Then the Collingwood

Jesse Hogan Traded to Collingwood

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/05

Two years ago Jesse Hogan kicked 77 goals and won the Coleman. This year he averaged 55.8 in SuperCoach and 49.1 in AFL Fantasy, and GWS let him walk for next to nothing. That gap is the whole story for 2027.I break down why Collingwood needed him. Only Dan McStay and Tim Membrey kicked 30+ for the Pies this year, and losing Brody Mihocek hurt more than most realised. Then the Giants. Greene, Stringer and Hogan are all gone, and that's 100 goals out the door. Cadman, Gruzewski and Brown have to

Western Bulldogs land Big Jordan Butts

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/03

Jordon Butts is a Western Bulldog. Here's what it means for the Dogs' defence, the Crows and your 2027 AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach side.How many times have we watched a monster key forward take the Dogs apart? Butts is the fix. He isn't elite at any one thing. What he does is lock down the opposition's number one tall. That lets Khamis and O'Donnell drop back into their natural roles instead of playing undersized on key forwards.For Adelaide, the compo pick might be worth as much

Is Kieran Briggs the early R2 in SuperCoach &...

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/02

Kieren Briggs to Richmond. Is the ex-Giants ruck fantasy relevant again in 2027? Here's my SuperCoach and AFL Fantasy verdict.Richmond needed a ruck who's ready now and still around when the kids grow up. Toby Nankervis has been a warrior, but he's 32. Briggs is 27, physical, built in the Shane Mumford mould, and he cost the Tigers no draft capital. He also walks in with chemistry alongside Hopper and Taranto.The Giants made their call this year. Nick Madden took the number one ruck

Lachie Neale Has Become a Magpie

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/02

Lachie Neale is a Magpie. Here's what it means for Collingwood, Brisbane and your 2027 AFL Fantasy and SuperCoach side.Three premierships. Two Brownlows. He's 33 and still ranked #2 in the AFL for centre clearances, sitting behind only Matt Rowell. Now he lands at a Collingwood side that's one of the worst clearance teams in the league.I break down why this move is really about Nick Daicos, and why Brisbane will feel Neale's absence more than most people think (it still doesn't

Toby Greene leaves the Giants for the Cats

Toby Greene to Geelong. Here's what the free agency move means for the Cats, the Giants and your 2027 fantasy side.Greene, Cameron and Neale are locks in that Geelong forward line. The fascinating part is everyone else. Miers, Martin, Mannagh, Close, Wiltshire, Polkinghorne and Dangerfield can't all play, let alone all sit inside 50. I walk through who gets squeezed and why I think Greene's midfield time will be sporadic at best.For the Giants, this is full rebuild territory. Hogan

Joel Amartey the first Free Agent move of 2026

Coaches Panel | Fantasy AFL Podcasts ·

2026/10/02

Joel Amartey to Carlton is the first move of 2026 free agency. Here's what it means for the Blues, Swans and your 2027 side.Carlton needed another tall. Harry McKay pushing up the ground left them short in the air, and they haven't had that contest-creating presence since Charlie Curnow left for Sydney. Amartey fixes that. He's a versatile key forward who can chop out in the ruck and swing back if needed.The real win? The Blues fixed a need using only cap space. No draft capital spent,

Who's climbed, who's slid, and who we're targeting right now while their price is still soft. Uwland's scoring ceiling gets a serious look after that 146, Duursma's consistency through the middle rounds gets its flowers, and we flag the one name we think is the
