THIS is by far the most incredible start to a season we have ever seen and for AFL Fantasy coaches, it will be the most unique season to date.

Off the back of the announcement that 2020 will be a 17-round season, The Traders tried to make the best sense of it as possible as they chatted through the implications of what this year could look like.

From what we will face week-to-week and any possible changes to the Fantasy game itself are covered in a spit-balling session that leaves more questions than answers… but plenty of fun as the new season draws near.

Last weekend was the most popular time for Fantasy Draft leagues to host their draft parties.

Harris Andrews is the commissioner of the 14-team league made up of Brisbane Lions players and he joined Warnie for a chat about how their morning went in the coffee shop.

Some current and former Collingwood players take part in a long running league organised by premiership captain Nick Maxwell. He discusses how their eight-team league went featuring something every coach dreads, auto-drafting an injured player.
