YOUR rookies dictate your structure. That's the mantra of many AFL Fantasy Classic coaches.

This year there are a crew of players putting their hands up to be on-field starters or on the bench.

Cash Cows are all about getting value from cheaper selections to score points, but also generate value for your team.

Harley Reid (MID/FWD, $300,000) is the most selected player in the game. The No.1 pick is set to be an important member of the Eagles' team in his debut season. He's a lock as is Colby McKercher (MID, $297,000) and fellow Tasmanian Ryley Sanders (MID, $285,000) who look likely to be there in round one.

Sanders joined The Traders to chat about his pre-season and how he's fitting in at the Dogs.

The gun junior midfielder with pig-like Fantasy numbers discussed roles and gave a couple of tips on his teammates' Fantasy stocks as well as the draft class of 2023.

Roy, Calvin and Warnie run through the best cash cows in each position, revealing who they have in their teams ahead of the match simulation and Community Series games.
