PHONE BATTERIES took a hammering over the weekend as the first round of Toyota AFL Fantasy saw coaches constantly refreshing their team … hoping for scores to increase.
For some, like The Traders, they didn’t increase quick enough.
The defenders let many coaches down, but their poor scores were offset by the abundance of rookies who racked up plenty of the ball. A record number of sub-$300k players scored Fantasy tons in round one with five cracking 100 and seeing hefty price increases.
