Warnie from The Traders bolsters this week's podcast as we return for 2023! We take a deep dive into the Uber-Premos in each line, covering defenders and forwards over 800k and mids and rucks over 900k.
The boys plug in the mics for one final time in 2022 to finish off the trade and draft period reviews, covering Port through to the Bulldogs.
Thanks for all your support in 2022! We'll be back early in the New Year for an exciting run into the season
The four amigos return for the second of the off-season review pods to examine Geelong through to North Melbourne. Plenty of in-depth debate ensues!
Plus Nathan kicks things off with a heart-felt apology to a draftee and Sanch discovers that the best name in the AFL is even better than first thought.

Adelaide, Brisbane, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon and Fremantle are covered. We chat about all the big names including Dunkley, Jackson, Mitchell, and.....Joe Richards??
We round out the Hat Chat podcast for season 2022 with a 90 minute doozy! 2022 AFL Fantasy Overall Winner Matt Mottram joins us to look back over his incredible, car-winning year!! We then dive into a series of celebrations to cap off the season for fantasy and Hat Chat.

Sanch loses his mind after the Rowan Marshall fiasco of the weekend. Meanwhile, Nathan has some big news for us all.
Fantasy finals are here and the hat race is tightening up. One coach who is definitely out of the hat race is Jake, who endured an absolutely disastrous week! Our mate Jeppa joins the show to help us cover all of the hot topics and look ahead to the final four rounds.
To add to Jake's mare of a weekend, he also had some issues with his audio on this one. Sorry about that!

DC, Sanch, and Nathan dream about what could have been this week after some Aaron Hall and Callum Mills shaped-carnage prevented some big scores. We chat through the burning questions and some value options, whilst a notorious segment makes its return...
The GOAT!
Back-to-back overall AFL Fantasy winner, 3x hat owner, Supercoach slayer, fantasy website entrepreneur, and all round good guy, Selby Lee-Steere, joins the boys for an in depth chat about his fantasy philosophies and experiences before helping out with some listener questions too.
If you're going to persevere with one episode of Hat Chat then make it this one!
The four regulars are joined by Mr Golden Tonsils himself, Dos (aka Buzz Dosyear) from the Point of Difference Podcast (POD POD) and The Keeper League Pod, who helps out with an in-depth discussion on the dire ruck situation and provides his own unique flavour to the podcast proceedings...
The usual gang are joined by regular guests Urban and Mitch to chat through a horrifically volatile round of AFL fantasy that saw some big shifts in the overall rankings. One bye round left!
Matt, the current overall leader of AFL Fantasy, joins the lads to talk through has team and strategies. He hangs around to help answer all the listener's questions too!
Disclaimer: We had some issues with Matt's audio. Sorry it's a bit patchy. It does get slightly better as the episode goes on.
Cam from the Draft Doctors joins Sanch, Nathan, and DC for a bumper chat about the bye rounds, points chasing, Jed (Jeff) Anderson, and spades? Yes, spades. You'll see...
The main cast assemble but there's something different to normal. DC falls further into a pit of trade madness and is punished by being forced into the hosting chair. Plus is Titch back? Will Bont be a top 6 forward next week? And is Connor Budarick a must-have?
Sanch was setting the bar way too high for the rest of us, so we gave him a week off to let his head deflate. 2x top 10 finisher Holmesy steps in the fill the void, while Nathan also attempts to get through the pod with the lingering effects of bronchitis. There are mixed results.
In football news, Jack Steele is down and all of the GWS players are now going to average 100. Let's chat!
The regular lads are joined by both Urban and Mitch to review a hideously low-scoring round 8 of the AFL Fantasy season. Having 6 guys on the show meant things got derailed at least a few times. Speaking of derailed, DC's season is like a train flying off a bridge at the moment. He feels real good about it on the podcast and of course the other guys are really sympathetic and do everything possible to cheer him up.
DC, Sanch, and Jake are deserted by Nathan who is on a three-day bender to celebrate JHF's rising star nomination. Thankfully, fantasy community stalwart and current top 100 coach, Jeppa, steps in to fill the void.
The boys are joined by 2021 3rd place-getter James, Coach of Gorringes and Lemons, to discuss a huge round of trades ahead. Unfortunately the Brodie Grundy news dropped after we recorded the podcast but there was plenty of healthy debate about the other topical players of the week, such as Rozee, Butters, Oliver and Touk.
Five days of Easter footy brought with it a swag of discussion topics for Jake, DC, Sanch, and Nathan on this week's pod. Also, should Bailey Smith be snouted? DC says yes.

Nathan jumps into the hosting chair to cover for Jake, whose voice is sounding as smooth as a bag of gravel in a blender! Sanch, DC and Mitch join to offer advice on the hot topics of the week. And there's plenty!
Jake is back in the hosting chair this week and is joined by DC, Nathan and Urban, with Zac unfortunately struck down by the dreaded rona! The boys chat about their fortunes in round 3 and address all of the burning topics in the world of fantasy footy.
Note: Apologies for Nathan's poor audio quality. He was on location this week and didn't have his recording microphone.
The four amigos chat through the pressing issues in fantasy this week. Gawndy and other underperforming premos are in the firing line, whilst everyone wants a piece of Brayshaw after his massive 181....except DC it seems.

On this behemoth of an episode, Jake, DC, and Sanch are joined by Sam Larder, who was the #7 ranked coach in 2021. Nathan pops in late whilst on his sojourn in Manilla. The boys cover the most relevant players in action during the AAMI series and announce a massive Hat Chat give-away!
New Dad, Jake returns to discuss the practice matches with Sanch, DC and Nathan.
Warning: We spoke garbage for almost 2 hours on this pod and had to make a lot of cuts. Some of them are as smooth as Reilly O'Brien's kicking style!
Sanch jumps into the hosting chair, as Mitch and Urban re-join us to cover some practice-match info, answer a plethora of listener's questions, and recap our recently completed single-season draft. Practice matches are almost here!
Jake, DC, and Sanch are joined by fantasy community stalwart Jeppa to discuss our favourite fantasy philosophies and most frustrating myths. Nathan misses this week after he got arrested for breaking into a closed North Melbourne match-sim session.
Sanch, Nathan and Jake are left to man the ship after DC's defection to the Traders. Will the hatted-one ever return?
The boys chat rucks and then reveal their pre-season teams in all their glory!
2x top 10 overall finisher Holmesy, coach of Holmesy's Heroes, joins the boys so we can finally provide some decent insight on the pod. We cover off a stack of relevant forwards but still can't work out how to properly play the one-word player description game.
Jake, Sanch, DC, and Nathan are joined by Mitch to discuss the best mid options in 2022!
Jake, Sanch, DC, and Nathan are joined by ol' mate Urban for a deep dive on some defenders. We cover off 15 players in detail and touch on a whole heap of other requested names.
Apologies if there's a weird cut or two in this episode. We had a couple of technical difficulties.
Jake, Nathan, Zac, and DC are back for a final chat prior to Christmas. They round out the trade and draft period review by covering Port through to the Bulldogs

Join DC, Jake, and Nathan on the inaugural episode of AFL Fantasy Hat Chat as they recap the trade and draft periods.
