Lystics AFL Podcast

We're back (again). We didn't get a lot of podcasts done in 2022, but we are keen to try and podcast whenever we get the chance in 2023.

This podcast is focused on the offseason changes for all clubs, and whether they start 2023 in a better position, a similar position, or a worse position.

Fantasy footy isn't for every fan, but it should be because it's so much fun! We talk about our love our keeper draft leagues, and reveal our classic teams line by line, with an analysis of where we have passed on a high ownership alternative. 

[BONUS EP] I mentioned last time that we don't do too many of these bonus eps, but here is another one while we work on long-form content for the next podcast. 

This episode is cover the concept of 'groupthink'. It has been mention a lot in the last few days that the fantasy footy community suffers from groupthink, so I thought we should first explore what the concept of groupthink is, and see if it applies to fantasy footy (or real footy). 

Episode 4 for 2022, and it's the final part of the 3 part series reviewing the new opportunities facing clubs. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we are deep diving into what it all means. Who is ready for an expanded role or opportunity in 2022? Who's had players come in who could restrict their chances? Is there a new coach who could be ready to usher in a new era? We tackle all this and more in part 3 of this 3 part podcast, featuring Port Adelaide to the Western Bulldogs.

[BONUS EP] We don't do too many of these bonus eps, but we may have to do a few more in future as we don't always have time to get to the Twitter questions and suggestions on our regularly scheduled pods.

This episode is covering off the 2021 AFL Draftees, and who John thinks will make a good keeper league prospect. N.B. If you are in a keeper league with me, it is illegal to listen to this content as you will learn too much about my strategy, and it has been used against me before. 

Episode 2 for 2022, and we will continue to review the new opportunities facing clubs. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we are deep diving into what it all means. Who is ready for an expanded role or opportunity in 2022? Who's had players come in who could restrict their chances? Is there a new coach who could be ready to usher in a new era? We tackle all this and more in part 2 of this 3 part podcast, featuring Geelong to North Melbourne.

We are finally back in the booth and are ready to kick of 2022 with a bang. With all of the new coaches, staff, and players at the clubs, we decided to do a deep dive into what it all means. Who is ready for an expanded role or opportunity in 2022? Who's had players come in who could restrict their chances? Is there a new coach who could be ready to usher in a new era? We tackle all this and more over the next few podcast, starting with Adelaide to Fremantle.

We are so close to the draft now, but there is so much to still talk about before we hear the first pick announced on Wednesday night. We discuss the ceiling and floor of some top 10 prospects, and some of the more interesting players outside of the top 10. We then launch into our final Consensus Draft Rankings for 2021.

We wanted to record an episode where we could take stock of what's unfolded in the past 3 weeks, as there has been a lot of change in AFL teams, but also in our lives. We start by reflecting on the Dee's GF victory, jump into a mental health minute, before moving into a free agency moves and trades review. At the end, we take a little look at what it may take to make progress on a few of the pending trades.

It is another Week in Football, and we have taken the time to review:

• the perceived increase in injuries this year and what could the multitude of causes be
• why the MRO is struggling to convince the public with some rulings, and the way forward
• a few club list strategies that seem to be falling down, and why.

While we intended this to be A Week in Football format, we ended up doing a bit more of a deep dive into the new rules, how the impact game play, and what we expect to happen over the coming months.

This was another chance to get you some content and we took it. We discuss the Swans Academy and a few other things, this time with Lapel mics due to no internet. Enjoy.

This draft was a little too wild to capture in just 1 (or even 2) parts, so we'll tackle it 6 clubs at a time and hopefully have them all wrapped up by the holidays.

This is the last 6 clubs and we found it difficult to assess again. Could most people that listen to this podcast have gotten it right??

In part 2 we review the middle six clubs, and found it hard to be impressed by some of their selections and trades.
