THERE is still a lot to play out and a lot to learn, but that didn’t stop The Traders delivering some early Fantasy Draft rankings.
The new-look AFL Fantasy Draft platform launched on Thursday, with more features and customisation options than ever before.
Draft days are generally held in the week or two leading into the Fantasy season, when coaches have all the information they need to pick their teams.
Of course, a lot changes in the pre-season, from injuries to role changes and so much more, leading to players rising and sliding on draft boards.
But on their launch podcast on Thursday, The Traders made some very, very early picks at who they think will be the top three in each position.
