The Lockout Podcast
After the Lockout Podcast's first season in 2024 we are back to preview the 2025 season with Josh, Hawko, Ryan and Croxy for all your AFL Fantasy needs.
We review all the teams in ladder order in reverse for 2025 in the lead up to the start of the 2025 AFL season.
The boys talk about players from a fantasy standpoint who excited them from 2024, and also who they are looking to turn to in 2025.
After we make our way through the whole league, we will run through our Defence, Midfield, Forwards and Rucks and give you insights into who we are finalising in our own teams for 2025.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, the boys break down all the key takeaways from Round 7 and look ahead to Round 8 as the season starts to take shape.
We run through how we performed in Round 7, including some mixed results across the group, with scores, rankings and cash generation all starting to separate teams as upgrade season kicks into full swing.
With more premiums on field and fewer rookies generating cash, the focus now shifts towards building a complete team and planning ahead.
We shoot off our Brownlow votes, and flops of the week. We also take a look at the players that are shaping fantasy outcomes right now. We also unpack trade strategies, including key upgrade targets, cash cows, and the most traded players across the competition.
A major focus this week is preparing for the upcoming bye rounds, with early strategy discussions around how to structure your team, target the right players, and avoid getting caught out when the byes hit.
We also cover injuries, team news, and round predictions as we head into another crucial week of AFL Fantasy.
If you are looking to stay ahead of the competition and set your team up for the next phase of the season, this is an episode you do not want to miss.
Let us know on socials, what are your bye rounds looking like, which round is looking the worst?
