Locked & Loaded Dynasty League, The Pod!

What a dramatic week of Fantasy Footy! One of our match ups went all the way down to the last game between St Kilda and Carlton - and who would have thought that NWM could cost you a game?! Win you a game, yes, but lose it for you? Unheard of! A sensational week of Preliminary Finals now await us, with the big decider only a little over 10 days away!

What an exciting last round of the season, and whilst Commissioner Gob got some crap for his predictions a fortnight ago... he nailed all six picks in the last round! Our ladder is finalised, our medal is won and the top 6 picks in the draft are locked away, so now the focus turns to who will be the eventual winner of 2026!SpeakPipe - https://www.speakpipe.com/Locked_LoadedDLTwitter - @Locked_LoadedDLInstagram - @lockedandloadeddl

Commissioner Gob goes deep, really deep, around the performance of players and coaches in the 2025 draft......perhaps that was just to take the focus away from his loss in Round 20??SpeakPipe - https://www.speakpipe.com/Locked_LoadedDLTwitter - @Locked_LoadedDLInstagram - @lockedandloadeddl

Commish has stuck his neck out here and gone through the last two rounds of the season, predicting results of each match up and what that means for final ladder positions. ...he also has himself ready to cop a lot of stick from the other coaches based on his projections. I wonder which match ups will cause the most conflict?!SpeakPipe - https://www.speakpipe.com/Locked_LoadedDLTwitter - @Locked_LoadedDLInstagram - @lockedandloadeddl

Main focus this week is all around the deals done over the weekend to close us out with trades for the 2026 season. Quite possibly my favourite deal ever happened over the weekend too, wait until you hear about it! Leave us a comment! Give us a follow!

A weekend that saw a couple of season defining results and a pretty big upset, was capped off by two trades on Friday that will potentially shape the finals. Who do you think wins out on the deals? The one thing that is for sure is that both trades are far better than the performance that the Commish witnessed in Tassie from his Hawks on Saturday!

We go through the performance of all our squads over the last 5 weeks... only to find a very surprising team top the table and remain undefeated over the 5-week stretch! Bonus points to those of you who can hear by dog barking in the background at a very inopportune momentGive us a like, a comment and a follow! Hope to hear from you allSpeakPipe - https://www.speakpipe.com/Locked_LoadedDLTwitter - @Locked_LoadedDLInstagram - @lockedandloadeddlPS - What do you think of our new club jumpers?

Coach Peter has sent in his response via email for this one after unfortunately being unwell and in hospital. A key question has come out of this one... Will the team rebuild or retool? ...or more importantly, will the team require a rebrand now that Jaylen Waddle has moved to the Denver Broncos?

New to the league in 2026, Coach Aiden has taken the league by storm. Currently sitting 2nd in total points scored and 4th on the ladder, The Toothless Magpies are a squad to be watched as we make our way towards the business end of the season

Coach Ash gives us a run down on his list position and his plan for the future for Rosetta Cubs.He also tells us that there's nothing on the trade block currently - but do we actually believe it?

The jostling for positions on the ladder is now in full swing! Three trades have gone down in the last two hours, four trades for the day! The teams up the top are looking for the final pieces of their puzzle, whilst some of the lower teams are taking their opportunity to cash in while they can. Silly season has arrived!

A self-proclaimed "middle of the road" team over the past few seasons, Coach Cadyn shares with us all his plans to take on the top few in the years to come!If he nails a couple of trades, coupled with the return of Tom Green and Errol Gulden, perhaps the rebound may be fairly quick?!

Palmerston FC and Radiator Springs FC have just done a player swap.A good deal, summarising where each team is at with one team looking to "win now" and the other building the youth. Which side of the deal would you prefer to be on?

Coach Jason jumps on today to give us an update on all things Pendles Allstars!After inheriting a "smashed pie" without a ruck around 1 year ago, the rebuild is on... and potentially with a couple of smart trades, will be up around the mark within the next year or two. Shout out to Palmerston FC... is Nick Daicos available?

Today we get ourselves a team update from experienced Fantasy Coach, Hutcho, coming to us all the way from rural WA! Apart from a desire to have the L&L brand get exposed to the masses, Hutcho also commented that he likes seeing his logo shared around on social media... so today I've got it shared on Spotify for him!

After being informed that the Commish is a failure and the expertise of Coach Bailey was unable to be heard... we've updated and released again! So here is the new and improved update from our Top of the Ladder team!

An enlightening update from Coach Bailey, manager of the top of the table No More Ice Baths!He's gone all in for a 2026 flag and highlights Jack Gunston as a key to that - how do you think he's going to go?

Coach Nic dials in and gives his answers to our seven questions, informing us all about his plans to get out of "the middle"...and did we just hear our first live trade negotiation on air?!

A husky and unwell Coach Calvin calls in from his toilet and shares all things "kingcalvin"Are we about to see a big run of trades here? What is his plan to recover his squad... I anticipate his itchy trade finger will be getting busy really soon!

Gobzilla and Fancy FC have completed a trade... with one team continuing to rebuild and the other aiming to stay near the top!Which side of the deal would you prefer to be on?

Next up in our TEAM POD series is an update from the Commish, with his team Gobzilla!An interesting update that involves a couple of rants and also the use of "steal" instead of "spoil" in a sentence... perhaps Gob thought he was talking about basketball?!

Next up in our "Team Deep Dive" series! Coach Floody shares an update on performance to date, plans for the future... but he still hasn't really answered how he's going to fill a ruck sized hole in his list!

The first in our "Team Deep Dive" series! Coach Aled shares his updates on performance to date, plans for the future... and random thoughts about cults!

Returned from the USA with a nasty case of the Flu... but nothing will stop me recording this update!A few movers and shakers over the last three rounds. A top team falling, a middle rung team climbing - what an exciting end to the season we have ahead!Keep your eyes peeled for the incoming Team Breakdowns - we are going to spam your feed over the next few weeks!

Some high scores and some less high scores greeted us in Round 9... along with a couple of "coughs" during the pod recording. Very unprofessional from the Commish!We also do a recap on the 2024 Draft. Who are the winners? Any steals? Who made some errors?Give us a follow, leave us a comment or send us a voice note via our speakpipe!

There has been a trade! Radiator Springs FC & No More Ice Baths have done a player swap! Which side of the deal would you like to be on?

Missed the last couple of weeks due to a holiday but am back now with a combined update of the last few rounds!A few teams were undefeated, only one team failed to win a game... and one squad made a few trades.
