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.

Round 14 Preview - Upgrade Now or Fall Behind - AFL Fantasy 2026
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The bye rounds are entering their most important stage, and coaches are running out of time to get their teams in shape for the run home. With cash generation slowing, premiums coming off their bye, and Round 17 post-bye structures starting to take shape, every trade matters more than ever.
This week, the boys review their Round 13 scores, rankings and team values, while discussing the biggest winners and losers from the weekend. There’s plenty of debate around trade strategy, premium targets, rookie downgrades and whether coaches should be focusing on value or pushing aggressively towards a completed side.
The episode also covers Brownlow votes, flops of the week, injury news, trade plans and the key players fantasy coaches should be targeting from teams coming off their bye. Plus, the lads discuss the importance of planning ahead for hard Round 16 bye week, and avoiding the mistakes that could derail your season.
With only a handful of weeks remaining before teams should be close to complete, this is the time to separate yourself from the pack and set up for a strong finish to the fantasy season.
