Yes, it’s the 50th show… may we get to 500! M0nty didn’t make it up to Melbourne to be with Molly, but that just means they can both hit the spreadsheets harder this week in preparation for Finals Dream Team.

Before that, however, the boys go through the winners of all major fantasy AFL competitions for the year, as well as some minor ones. Last week’s guest snagadelic managed to get up for the Eliminator prize - well done mate! - while his grand final opponent Matt, known as Brad Fisherman on BigFooty, consoled himself with winning the Toyota Aurion for the overall Dream Team comp (watch him on the final DT Talk episode of the year).

M0nty has some big news of his own… his league won the $20,000 prize for Premium Dream Team! He’s pretty stoked with that, which kicks off a discussion on whether PDT will overtake “normal” DT in fantasy coaches’ minds as the most important competition. The winner of the $5000 team prize in PDT, demondomination, is now pimping himself out as a DT tutor on BigFooty… with a premium to teach m0nty a thing or two!

Elsewhere in fantasy comps, members of the EliteDre@mTe@mers group won the Yahoo, LG and Geelong Advertiser comps, while the leader of the Fox Sports comp (which continues through finals) is also an EDTer. Finally, the winner of FanFooty’s Lethal League comp is grimlock, yet another EDTer, and members of EDT filled the top three spots!

Finally the boys turn their eyes, and their helper programs FFGenie and Too Serious, to the subject of Finals DT. Every possible configuration of players is gone through with a fine-toothed comb… suffice to say that you won’t find a more comprehensive analysis of this competition anywhere on or off the Net.

We’ll be podcasting all the way through the finals to help you with your Finals DT selections, so keep listening all the way through to the granny!
