## Resource

The first official AFL Fantasy scoring round of 2026 is in the books and there’s already plenty to unpack. On this episode we review Round 1 and break down the biggest fantasy takeaways from the weekend, including the hype building around Sam Grlj and Lachie Jaques , two players quickly moving onto the 2G4P radar after strong performances. We also discuss the monster game from Dylan Stephens , the breakout signs from Riley Bice , and the surprise debut of Milan Murdock , who only signed with West Coast last week but made an immediate impact. Across the round there were also some interesting role changes, big scores from unexpected names, and early-season dilemmas starting to emerge for keeper league coaches. If you're playing draft or keeper leagues , this episode will help you identify the early trends and players to watch after the first official fantasy round of the season.
