The Fremantle supporter was watching his Dockers in the final game of the round as he cheered on Andrew Brayshaw collecting Fantasy points while Connor Rozee sat on the bench at the end of the game. The fact his AFL club went down and missed finals didn't worry him as a HiLux valued at up to $70,000 will be in his driveway for his efforts.
It was a grandstand finish with plenty of challenges thrown up to coaches in the final round. From game time changes, lightning delays, late outs and more, it was a fitting way for the season to end.
Chris tells his story on the podcast.
The Traders look back at the year and award the Dane Swan Medal for the Fantasy MVP to Tristan Xerri. The big Roo had a season for the ages with some great stats as he became the first player to be priced at more than $1.1 million. Matt Roberts is awarded the Michael Barlow Medal for the Cash Cow of the Year. Xerri and Roberts join the show to accept their awards.
Calvin, Roy and Warnie run through their 'AFL Fantasy Wrapped' as they reminisce about some of the highs and lows before turning their attention to some of their first picked players in 2025.
