Afl Fantasy Podcast With The Traders

Rory Laird is the highest priced player in Fantasy Classic. Do we start with him? Is he the No. 1 pick in Fantasy Draft? Calvin looks at his Crows and discusses other options such as Reilly O'Brien who could be one of the top rucks and relieves some memories of last year so he doesn't select someone despite his value.
