2026/02/08

The AFL Fantasy 2026 team previews roll on and this episode turns its attention to the Richmond Tigers, a club deep in rebuild mode after a brutal 2025 season but quietly stockpiling young talent for the future. We unpack Richmond’s year, assess the draft haul that’s shaping the next generation of Tigers, and break down what went wrong on field and in Fantasy. From Toby Nankervis once again carrying the load, to Taranto’s disappointing output, to the emergence of value options like Sam Banks,...

The Lockout Podcast ·

2026/02/07

The boys dive into Essendon’s chaotic 2025 season, a year defined by injuries, instability, and an incredible 18 debutantes. With 37 players used across the season, the Bombers were smashed by availability issues, role changes and constant disruption, leaving even their stars scrambling to hold things together. We unpack Essendon’s off-season moves, including the arrival of Braden Fiorini and a draft haul headlined by Dyson Sharp, Sullivan Roby and Jacob Farrow, alongside major outs such as S...

2026/02/05

2026/02/02

The boys break down Port Adelaide’s turbulent 2025 season, a clear fall from grace marked by injuries, fading veterans, and the end of the Ken Hinkley era.

AFL Fantasy 2026 - Carlton Blues Preview

The Lockout Podcast ·

2026/01/27

The boys turn their attention to the Carlton Blues, a side stuck in AFL limbo after sliding further back into mediocrity, and out of the 8 in 2025. A year after a finals run, the Blues once again leaned heavily on too few stars, with Walsh and Cripps hurting, Cerra carrying load, and George Hewett producing a career Fantasy year. List movement was busy: Carlton added Harry Deane, Campbell Chesser, Ben Ainsworth, Ollie Florent, Will Hayward and ruck depth via Liam Reedy, while losing Tom...

Episode 10 and the Sydney Swans, The boys fly up to Moore Park for our Sydney Swans 2026 breakdown, a side that fell hard off the 2024-25 cliff after getting shell-shocked in the finals. Losing key players for months and struggling to find any forward connection. Gulden and Mills missed huge chunks of the year, the ball movement fell apart, and what should’ve been a finals list sputtered to 10th. We cover their 2025 campaign, Brodie Grundy’s ridiculous Fantasy heater (12 straight tons),...

2026/01/22

The boys head to Whitten Oval as we hit the halfway point of the 2026 team previews. The Dogs didn’t make finals in 2025, but they remain one of the most Fantasy friendly sides in the comp, six players averaging 90+ and a stack of mid-price relevance across the board. We break down their 2025 campaign, the impact of injuries to Bont, Treloar & Darcy, the rise of Mr. Utility Matt Kennedy, and why Luke Beveridge continues to drive Fantasy coaches insane. List movement this offseason was lig...

Episode 8 and it’s Hawk time with Hawko!!!! We head to Waverley to break down Hawthorn’s attempt at a rapid fire rebuild, a promising 2025 surge, and yet another finals dagger delivered by Dangerfield’s Cats. Plenty of on field growth, plenty of off field pain, including more big outs, no marquee ins, and a list still working out who leads it into the next era. We unpack Lloyd Meek’s career Fantasy season, strong campaigns from Karl Amon and Jai Newcombe, and a frustrating James Sicily ...

2026/01/13

Episode 7 and we’re off to the Gold Coast, where after 15 long years the Suns finally cracked September. Under Damien Hardwick they stitched together their most complete AFL season yet, powered by a Fantasy friendly midfield unit and a clear identity that finally held up across four quarters. We cover the Suns' 2025 campaign, how Rowell bulldozed his way to a Brownlow, how Anderson became the perfect connector, and how five Suns averaged over 90 to make this side Fantasy relevant across every...

Episode 6 for the 2026 season, and we now turn our attention to the purple haze, the Fremantle Dockers. Another year of talent, promise and frustration for Freo, finishing sixth before bowing out in straight sets to the Suns. A loaded list with height, youth and depth across every line, yet still trapped in the same loop of style, hesitation and missed opportunity. We break down Fremantle’s 2025 campaign, why the system continues to hold them back, and which Dockers carried the Fantasy load...

Episode 5 for the 2026 season is here, and we’re heading out west (kind of) to look at the Greater Western Sydney Giants — the back-to-back fifth-placed specialists as Hawko so eloquently put it. The Giants have talented list that continues to threaten without quite breaking through, the Giants once again mixed promise with frustration in 2025.

Still a powerhouse on their day, the Pies remain a genuine contender despite an ageing list. We break down Collingwood’s 2025 season, their finals exit, and how much is left in a veteran-heavy side including the ageless Scott Pendlebury. From Nick Daicos’ continued Fantasy dominance to the surprise rise of Ned Long, we assess who boomed, who disappointed, and where value might lie headi...

Written off early by many, Brisbane once again proved why they remain one of the competition’s most dominant teams, finishing third and showing they’re built to contend for years to come. We break down the Lions’ 2025 season, how they overcame adversity, and why their list depth might be the scariest in the league. From Josh Dunkley’s elite Fantasy output to rising star...
