Welcome to 2022 AFLFantasy coaches. As a special new year’s treat, I decided to share my current AFLFantasy team and tell you why I’ve picked every player. Enjoy!

DEFENDERS

Lloyd and Whitfield represent value at their price tags. Hewett found a new home and should see plenty of mid time esp now Walsh is out early. Sicily I view as a cheaper Jordan Ridley. Milera and Chesser at d5 and d6 opens options up in the other positions.

MIDFIELD

Steele is the go to captain option early days. Titch is Titch. I ended up going Parish over Macrae. I like the ceiling Parish has and hoping with a full preseason of being the main mid he has scope for improvement. Neale is a bargain and is apparently ripping up the track.

Nothing better than starting a potential 3rd year breakout and Serong smells just right to me. Crouch picks himself at his price tag and only need to be named rd 1 to start for me. All rookies are subject to change but I really enjoy cheering for the best of the best with the rooks.

JHF should score fwd status early in the season while Daicos may nab some def status with a bit of luck.

RUCKS

Grundy and Preuss to start r1 and r2 if named rd 1. Comben at r3 for the DPP flexibility if Preuss proves to be problematic.

FORWARDS

No Duncan with the calf and no Taranto with no Greene. I love watching Butters play so he will get a game for Ridley United. Heeney if he gets that midfield role is a no brainer. Dunkley is crazy value. Rayner and Curnow should be able to make some cash and be solid stepping stones.

Bailey Williams is my Preuss cover when the inevitable rest happens.
