January 17, 2014 12:51 PM

WITH just a week to go until the NAB AFL Fantasy season launches for 2014, AFL.com.au is bringing the game's greatest experts off the bench to deliver exclusive content to fans.

The Traders, currently plying their, er, trade as DT Talk, will be bringing Fantasy coaches the good oil right throughout the NAB Challenge and home and away season.

From next week, Roy, Calvin and Warnie will begin their Team Builder series – the ultimate player-by-player Fantasy team picker for the expert and novice alike.

The DT Talk website has been the most popular fan-based website on AFL Fantasy for more than five years and these three school teachers certainly know their virtual footy.

With the NAB Challenge less than a month away, the boys will be right across all the rookie bargains, surprise packets and solid gold superstars you should be picking for your Fantasy side.

Leading up to the home and away season, The Traders will be doing club-by-club reviews, taking a close look at the new recruits and walking you through the best trading strategy you can employ to taste Fantasy glory.

The Traders will also bring these regular features to your Fantasy week:

• Calvin's captains: it's double points every week for your skipper so lean on Calvin to make this big call every round
• Trade talk: you've got two trades a week so you'd best find out how to use them wisely
• Round in review: the Monday wash-up you won't be able to miss – who shone, who stunk it up and who got substituted at just the wrong moment
• Fantasy podcast: for your listening pleasure, the wit and wisdom of out AFL Fantasy experts, straight to your eardrums
• AFL Fantasy Live: Thursday night is team announcement night and the boys will discuss the ins and outs of the round ahead and how they will impact your Fantasy squad
• Late Mail chat: as the lockout approaches, get the late mail on Friday afternoon before you set your line up

So keep an eye out next week for the boys' first column and get set for a massive year of NAB AFL Fantasy onAFL.com.au

Congrats to the Boys for getting this gig!

Should be very useful!

Glad to see those guys instead of Dr Dreamteam. Have they done away with Doctor completely?

Hope so. Hopefully he wasn't being paid too much for the shite he put out there.

 

[The Jet]

Yeah, The Doc has retired!

He's a big loss

But.... will the average player now become more 'pro'. Even more random Joe players with internet starting guides and following the DT Talk guys can compete with the 'pro' players.

It's a shame they're missing chop/choppers (forget what he goes by) weekly segment. I'm sure that would gone quite fittingly on the AFL site

Did the DT Talk boys (sorry, the Traders) have a bit of a show today leading up to the opening of DT? Thought I heard something along those lines??

Is there a link/recap/podcast or whatever for those of us who actually had to work today?
