Summary
This week Heff is joined by Matty D’Sena to review Round 19 of the 2026 AFL Fantasy season from a draft and keeper league perspective. James Worpel made an immediate impact in his return to Geelong’s side, scoring 102 from 24 disposals, six tackles and a goal. With Mitch Knevitt and Jack Bowes omitted, Tanner Bruhn injured and Max Holmes sidelined, has Worpel done enough to hold his spot and re-establish himself as a reliable fantasy option? Jhye Clark also caught the eye with 98 points in a new role across half-back. After collecting 25 disposals and nine marks, we assess whether the role can stick and if the former top-10 pick should be back on the radar in keeper leagues. Nick Bryan finally delivered the ruck performance coaches have been waiting for, producing 111 points from 17 disposals, 31 hitouts and two goals. With his time on ground increasing, are we beginning to see signs of a genuine fantasy breakout? We also work through plenty of other names worth monitoring, including Bailey Scott, Jay Polkinghorne, Campbell Lake, Cooper Harvey, Noah Mraz, Oliver Francou and more. As always, it’s about working out what’s real, what’s role-driven, and what’s just a one-week spike. If you're playing draft and keeper leagues, this episode is packed with the insights you need to stay ahead of the curve.
