Australian Football Revolution: Recent Episodes
Andrew Caple and Steve Watson
The Australian Football Revolution is a fantasy competition run for AFL fans, the podcast is hosted each week by Andrew Caple and Steve Watson where talk about everything that is Australian Fantasy Football (Original League, Super League and all Cup Comps that are running). With some special guests popping in now and then for a chat. We take a look back at what happened in League and also do a recap of the week ahead, it's a unique league where every game and point counts!
We had a couple of technical issues to start the podcast today but we're back!! It's been a couple of weeks since Steve and I had some time to sit down and record the podcast, it's almost like getting the band back together again. The home and away season has completed and we're now into the finals and Cup Finals. We take a look back at some of the games at the end of the season and review the games from the weekend.
We're getting to the pointy-end of the season now with only three rounds left in the Home and Away season so many places are still up for grabs - at the top and the bottom of the ladder. Although everyone wants to make finals Champions League positions for next season are still up for grabs and the Phamtoms are showing both leagues how to end the season.
It's been a couple of weeks since Steve and I were able to have a chat and record a podcast, so we have a little bit to catch up on. I think we can all agree that it's great to see the back of the bye rounds .. but that now means that we have the trade deadline upon us. Any trade made after the round starts will come into effect after the end of season delist.
Last week was another bad week for Steve and I to fit in the podcast, as I came down with COVID and he's work was crazy ... but that was last week!! This week we take a look at the wash-up of the Mid Season Draft some of the things that took us by surprise. The Champions League is in full swing and the STANDA Cup kicks off.
It's upon us ... Mid-Season Draft week. Quite a few teams having been hanging out for this period as they hope for the season changer that will catapult them straight up the ladder. In terms of who to pick up, we'll leave that for you to decide but Steve has had a look at the teams and has made a prediction on the priorities for the teams. We also take a look at the latest round - as always.
With only a couple of weeks to the mid-season draft each win or loss has a dramatic effect on the draft order, this week the Brawlers felt the force of the Convicts as they stay undefeated in the Super League. Natas had a tight game with the Blue Flames but continue the march towards breaking the longest winning streak.
Remember the days where getting over 200 happened every 5 years!! Nexus smashed the highest AFR score this week with 226, however it was the Blue Flames and Titans score that took all the headlines - possibly one of the greatest AFR games in history. With only a couple of weeks until the mid season draft the order seems to be changing each week.
Round 5 is completed and a couple of things are starting to stand out .. there is a massive gap between the have and have nots. There are a couple of teams struggling to get their season off to the start they were wanting and some others that seem to make their own luck. Cam is away so we don’t think there will be a Judge for a couple of weeks - so it’s up to Steve and I to give a critique on peoples teams.
Another record-breaking round, as Natas break last week’s record with a score of 214, perhaps it's the Convicts that are stealing the show as they are 4-0 after defeating The Thylacines in a tough high scoring game. Where to for the Phamtoms as they are the only team without a win across the two leagues.
The Original League looks to be the season of Natas .. however they look like they might have some competition from the Blue Flames, after putting up over 200 on the weekend could Round 7 see the end of the Natas run for the longest winning record. Meanwhile last years premiers in the Super League are currently 0-3.
We're only two rounds into the new season but the ladder is already looking like the top five has been set. Needless to say we know Cam is glad Naomi is in the Super League as Natas are looking almost unstoppable in the Original League. The Brawlers are requesting for the season to be called now, yeah nah.

It's March and the Judge has posted his first article on the site ... this means that AFR season is now underway, Steve and Andrew finally get together to record the first podcast of the 2022 season.

Another season is completed and as the new tradition states we have the two winning Managers on the Podcast to talk about everything Original and Super League. Dan and Cam give us a run down on how they saw the Grand Final and the 2021 season. We also have a chat about the bomb Steve dropped last week. Thank you to everyone that followed us throughout the year, we'll be back next year for the 20th AFR season!
What a massive week, the Champions League final and the right to see meet the Warriors and Natas in the finals for the league. The Bucks and Atoms have surprised everyone and pushed for their first Grand Final appearance. Will the minor premier show some class or will the new comers knock them off? We also give you an insight into our thinking ....
The Semi Finals are done and we've seen a few massive wins on the weekend, the Bucks and Nexus start to flex and the other teams are now looking over their shoulder. The Brawlers take the AFR Cup and look to block Natas this week in the Champions League.
It all came down to the final round of the season, as a comp we love it when this happens ... as a manager you hate it!! This week we take a look at the final round of the home and away season and who won the Commish Medal. Next week we also have the STANDA Cup Grand Final and the ever important Champions League Semi Finals.

What a night to record the podcast ... Andrew was watching the Blue Origin launch and trying to concentrate on talking about the AFR. With only one more round remaining in the 2021 season we take a look at how things could turn out and who's in the best position to make the Original and Super League finals.
We've had a couple of weeks off while Steve was away .. but we're back for the run home, we take a look at the Round 16 results and a quick look at the run home with only two rounds to go in the season.
Steve is away for the next couple of weeks, so Cam joins me tonight as we review the past two rounds ... as we rejoice that the bye rounds are finally over. We know we're getting to the pointy end of the season when the trade deadline comes around - no trades can occur once the next round starts.
Round 11 is completed, can you believe we got there in the end. It just made us all think that we're not out of the woods yet with COVID and we'll need to be ready for the fixtures to change at any moment. Speaking of which, that brings us to the bye rounds ...
With the mid season draft now completed all managers have their eyes on the end of the season, some looking forward to finals and some I'm sure already have an eye on the final delist. The trade deadline is the next deadline we all have coming up quickly - no trades can happen once Round 14 starts. This week we take a look Cup games and of course the Round 10 scores ... we have another team joining the 200 Club.
With the Mid Season Draft upon us, this weeks podcast is a preview of the 2021 MSD. Although we spend some time looking at the results from the weekend we'll take a look at the delists and the draft order as well as a small prediction from Steve.
With Round 8 now completed all teams will be looking forward to the mid season draft next week, reminder to all Managers that delists are due now with the deadline next Monday night. This week also saw the completion of the first phase of the Champions League - it certainly went down to the wire in some of the groups.
We're only a couple of weeks away from the mid season draft and the ladders in both leagues are very tight, one win and everything could change. The Champions League is mirroring the league and with one round to go some spots are still up for grabs.
We have a new inclusion in the 200 club, congratulations to Tony Moore and the Coat Hangers that put up the huge score against the Sons of God in a game that wound the clock back to the mid 2000's. Coming out of Round 6 we still have one undefeated team in the AFR and there is a battle for Mid Season draft positions in both leagues.
With Round 5 completed we all woke to the news this morning that the Super League was going to take over the world with a number of team threatening break away ... oh wait, wrong Super League. What a round we just had, there was a mixture of massive scores from from teams and yet others will be looking at their rosters and think "rebuild".
What a week ... who doesn't have injuries that aren't going to screw up your season? It seems each week the flag favourite picks up a season ending injury. This week we have a special guest joining us - Cameron Baker (Natas and Nexus Manager) as we recap the round and the Champions League games.
There were some massive scores this week and it looks some of the punts that some teams took in the PSD are really starting to pay off - it will make the MSD very interesting. As usual we take a look at the games from the weekend and also the Cup games.
As well as reviewing the the games this week and the Champions League results, Steve and I discuss who would go pick 1 if the first draft was held now, who would you take?
The AFR season has started and we've kicked the season off with a couple of changes - the forward position scoring changed and also the introduction of the AFL sub player has thrown us all a spanner. Steve and I dissect the the new changes and also have a chat about some questions that came up around the sub rule and what it means for the AFR teams. Week 1 gives Steve and I a chance to make some end of season predictions ... more importantly we review the round that was across the two leagues and also the cup comps.
