MORE than 100,000 Toyota AFL Fantasy coaches are ready to lock in their teams ahead of the first game of the season on Wednesday night, but more needs to be known before final teams can be locked away.
Teams will drop throughout the week.
On Tuesday evening we’ll hear the 22s for Melbourne v Western Bulldogs. On Wednesday it’ll be Carlton v Richmond teams. We’ll know four teams before the Grand Final rematch. As games commence, players are locked in. That means, you can’t select (or move someone in your team) someone from competing teams.
