The PODPOD - AFL Fantasy Podcast

Is the defensive line going to be one of the trickier lines to pick this year? It always seems that the top end defenders are fairly or over-priced, but with so many top end premiums having an early bye to start 2026, how will you go about picking players in your defensive line? In this episode, the panel discusses everything you need to know in terms of the defensive line. Harmey gives who he thinks are the top 6 (15) averaging defenders, the panel discusses the top end premiums who they believe still present upside, under-priced premiums who can hopefully take the next step and score in-line with the top 6 and then discuss a whole bunch of listener requests.

This week, the lads are celebrating 150 episodes of the PODPOD by bringing back the man that started it all. He has been known by many names over the years including but not limited to Buzz Dossyear, Dosby Lee-Steere and Dossy. That's right, Murdoch has given him a free pass as long as he hits his SuperCoach mentions quota. Fresh from tracking long effective kicks, contested possessions and spoils, Dossy makes his long anticipated return. On this episode Holmesy, Lewy, Harmey, Sam and Dosby review the first round of the multi-bye rounds, where many coaches found themselves hurting with only 18 or 19 players on field. They talk general bye strategy, look at players to target off the bye and answer a stack of listener questions. This one was fun!
