James English almost ran down the overall winner in 2022, Kyle Holmes almost took the chocolates in 2021, Jon Harmey led for a significant amount of time in 2019 before being pipped at the post while a single stat held Statesman from taking glory in 2018.

The Cats won the 2022 premiership and the Fantasy relevance is few and far between. Who goes first in Fantasy Draft ... Mitch Duncan or Tom Stewart? Who fills the shoes of Joel Selwood? Roy suggests Jhye Clark could be the winner. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Last year's Grand Finalists have a point to prove in 2023. Calvin thinks Chad Warner could take his game to the next level. It's a bunch of cash cows who could be the most important Swans with pre-season favourite Will Gould leading the charge. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

After not having a player average more than 100 last season, will Tom Mitchell get back to his piggy best? It's fair the say Roy, Calvin and Warnie are all in. Darcy Cameron is a big talking point of the pre-season as to whether the RUC/FWD will be a viable pick. Nick Daicos could be knocking on the door as a top six defender and is Collingwood's most popular player. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

The inclusion of Josh Dunkley is huge for the Lions and Fantasy coaches. It most likely pushed Hugh McCluggage to the wing and keeps Jarryd Lyons on the outer. Will Ashcroft looks a lock as does finals bolter Darcy Wilmot. Roy leaves Dayne Zorko fans excited after a squirt from sauces on his pre-season. Click here for more content from The Traders.

The big talking point is how Brodie Grundy and Max Gawn will work together ... and what it means for their Fantasy scoring. Calvin thinks they could be first round picks in Draft! Angus Brayshaw looks to be a popular DEF selection. The boys debate whether you take him or not in initial Classic squads. Predictions for the big midfielders in Clayton Oliver and Christian Petracca are put out there. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Andrew Brayshaw finished last season with the most points. Will he back it up in 2023? The midfied mix is interesting with the inclusion of Draft sleeper Jaeger O'Meara. Where should we take Nat Fyfe in Draft? Are there any cash cows? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

The inclusion of Tim Taranto and Jacob Hopper are big talking points, but more so Calvin's worry about the lack of Fantasy tons delivered at the Tigers over the last five years. Maybe there's upside in Dustin Martin or we could see Jayden Short head to defence again? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

The Dogs have the most top end talent with six players averaging more than 100 Fantasy points per game last year. Warnie sells Jack Macrae as a starter while Bailey Smith and Marcus Bontempelli are also options in the midfield. Toby McLean is the must-have from the kennell thanks to his discount and ton in the elimination final. Oh, and who can forget about the No. 1 ruck int he game for 2023, Tim English. Plenty of relevance. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook. Follow @AFLFantasy on Twitter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Roy's turn to talk about the club he loves. The pre-season surgery for Sam Walsh is a big talking point as Adam Cerra could be a beneficiary, considering how under-priced he appears to be. Lock in Sam Docherty as your D1. What else is there to say? Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Ross Lyon is back on board with the Saints and there are a few questions about how they'll line up. There is no bigger question than whether Rowan Marshall will be the solo ruck. If he is, then lock-and-load. If he isn't, then stay away. Warnie is laughed at for suggesting Brad Hill. According to Roy, both Jack Steele and Jack Sinclair will be members of the Rollin' 22.  Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

Connor Rozee and Zak Butters both have FWD status and will be names talked about all season. Can both be top six forwards? Scott Lycett is a discounted ruck worth watching this pre-season. Maybe there is a case for an under-priced Ollie Wines, even though he had off-season surgery. Click here for more content from The Traders. Like AFL Fantasy on Facebook.

You can't look past Touk Miller as a premium and he could be a great starting option for your squad after dropping more than 10 points off his average last year. Plenty of names are discussed including the dual-position tempters in Brandon Ellis and Jed Anderson, a 'safe' ruck in Jarrod Witts and some old favourites like Brayden FIorini, Connor Blakely and Matt Rowell.

The Hawks could be wooden spooners due to their rebuild which is an old-school one. There are spots up for grabs which could be great for cash cows and those with increased opportunity. James Worpel offers plenty of value as do some of his fellow midfielders. Look for James Sicily to be around the top defenders as the ball will be back there a bit while Dylan Moore could be a top six forward. Click here for more content from The Traders.
