#1: Pilot episode
Hello and welcome to The Coaches Box! Phillip “Molly” Malone and Paul Montgomery (”m0nty”) will be your hosts for this AFL fantasy football podcast. Molly, whose idea this whole thing was, is a veteran of many blogs and podcasts about Aussie Rules football (and many other things!) under his Mollyzine brand, and a fantasy footy novice who is just learning the caper with his first Dream Team this year. Monty is co-founder of FanFooty, the most popular source of fantasy footy information in Australia and the only provider of live fantasy scoring for Dream Team, Super Coach and other fantasy comps… and he’s also part of the EliteDre@mTe@mers, the most successful league of fantasy coaches in the country.
Here’s a direct link to the pilot episode which was recorded on Tuesday April 24. After yakking for a bit about the recent server issue on FanFooty and then remembering to introduce ourselves, Molly and I lay out our Dream Team lineups, muse about how many trades that DT/SC coaches should be burning right now, discuss whether the AFL will have to adopt NFL-style policies to force teams to give more injury information about their players and stop them making late teamsheet changes, mention grimlock’s excellent FFGenie program for calculating price fluctuations, chew over how to choose your captain, talk a bit about the horror that is AFL.com.au, go through the Boys On The Bubble for round 4 one by one, and disclose that we’re both Hawk supporters.
Sprinkled in the discussion are opinions on over 50 AFL players, including Justin Koschitzke, Warren Tredrea, Luke Ball, Marc Murphy, Bryce Gibbs, Robert Campbell, Simon Taylor, Nigel Lappin and Richard Hadley.
We hope to get listeners involved and do live shows in future, as well as get some more guests involved… including some secrets from some EliteDre@mTe@mers!

Welcome all. If you have any questions, comments, suggests, let us know. Don’t be worried whether you think the question might be silly or if you are a novice, there are lots getting into the AFL Fantasy World and there is a fair chance that they might have the same question.
Keep the feedback coming.

Kynan, it’s a pretty cut-throat comp so you’d need to at least finish in the top 2000 at the end of the year, I’d say. Good luck with it!
