Show Notes

Round 4 saw the AFLW Fantasy community struck down by the first late withdrawal of the season - popular cash generator Tessa Boyd missing her clash with Collingwood with back spasms. There were also a few surprising 100+ scores, some new roles to decipher, and a couple of disppointing rookies signalling their time to leave our squads. 

Round 5 is the beginning of upgrade season, so the gang spent a lot of time talking about how to navigate some of the most highly owned players: do we hold, do non-owners target, or is it time to trade out? Listen in to find out Liam, Will, and Jono's thoughts for the week!
