We've got some of the runners up from the last few years to join a rountable discussion about their journey and a look towards AFL Fantasy 2023. James English almost ran down the overall winner in 2022, Kyle Holmes almost took the chocolates in 2021, Jon Harmey led for a significant amount of time in 2019 before being pipped at the post while a single stat held Statesman from taking glory in 2018.
