Unfortunately, Tim English, who had proven to be one of the picks of the year, has injured his hamstring and missed on the weekend. Braydon Preuss has been a great selection in the games he’s played and may now be one of the most important players in Toyota AFL Fantasy Classic.
Calvin and Warnie received news that Grundy's injury could see him out for quite a few weeks mid-podcast and thought on their feet as to what they could do.
