As the final lockout of the 2026 AFLW Fantasy approaches, the Free Kick gang run through a stack of things coaches need to think about before Round One (or at least the rest of it) including: 
some highly owned injured players
some unique players to consider heading into Round One
the most important rookies to be starting

The gang then went about drafting a collective 'Free Kick' team for 2026, where each host gets a chance to pick their favourite options under the salary cap!
