The Bont gets vetoed for Errol Gulden to free up $150K.

1. SuperCoach AFL: The Official Podcast frames “The Phantom’s Lair CONSENSUS TEAM REVEAL” as a 2026 team-build for the lair. 2. The Phantom, Chief, and new arrival Charlie Dadzzi drive the conversation, with Dadzzi presented as a long-time listener and SuperCoach fan. 3. The episode exists to combine the hosts’ rankings, vetoes, and budget decisions into one consensus SuperCoach squad. 4. The show opens by comparing Dadzzi’s debut to a “historic moment on the lair” and joking about lowering the average age. 5. The hosts push two listener targets: 23,000 Codesports YouTube subscribers and 5,000 Lair League entries. 6. The league code given on air is 128532, and the prize pack includes SuperCoach merch and a broken Harley Reid bobblehead. 7. The team-building rules include a snake draft, two vetoes each, and one player under 10% ownership for every contributor. 8. Marcus Bontempelli is pick one for his AFL-wide quality, despite discussion of his 21% ownership and early bye. 9. Zach Butters is the second premium selection, with Port Adelaide’s early fixture and his contract year used as selling points. 10. Tom De Koning enters as the first ruck pick because the Saints see him as their new number one ruck and his price sits at 97. 11. Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and John Connor Rozee are both framed as high-owned defenders with strong opening schedules. 12. Harry Sheezel is treated as the safest forward premium, with his 70% ownership and North Melbourne’s early draw cited as support. 13. Matt Rowell is initially proposed at 118 SuperCoach points per game, then vetoed because the panel worries about his contested style in a faster game. 14. Finn Callaghan replaces Rowell after the veto, and his run-and-spread profile is used to justify the switch. 15. Archie Roberts gets a strong case as a third-year breakout, with a late-season 89 average and a halfback role at Essendon. 16. George Wardlaw is backed at 6% ownership because the hosts believe his fit body can unlock bigger numbers in the midfield. 17. The forward line discussion includes Mateus Filippo and Jamara Ugle-Hagan, with Ugle-Hagan described as a player who can move beyond pure goals. 18. The tone stays conversational and draft-heavy, with the hosts interrupting each other, questioning ownership rates, and changing picks live. 19. Listeners who want preseason SuperCoach structure, premium names, and rookie value calls should get a lot from this episode. 20. Listeners who want a tightly edited segment or no preseason squad talk may skip it.
