AN EARLY Christmas present greeted AFL fans this week with AFL Fantasy launching for the 2022 season.
Coaches have started picking their squads and commissioners are getting their mates organised in leagues for another year of Fantasy fun.
Fantasy Classic overall champion in 2017 and 2018, Selby Lee-Steere, discusses his early thoughts on the salary cap game. He suggests that while there appears to be more money in the budget for the upcoming season, coaches may have to shift their thinking considering what he’s had to deal with in NBA Fantasy.
