Lessons learned, Callaghan trades, and buy of the year! | The Phantom’s Lair
SuperCoach AFL: The Official PodcastShow Notes
The Phantom is vindicated at long last with a call he made two months ago as the race for $50k starts to heat up! Finn Callaghan is out for the season in major blow for more than 50 per cent of the top 1 per cent of coaches as carnage continues, but just how many coaches have trades in the top 100? The Phantom, Five Names, and Chief try to find the next big thing in 'buy of the week', and Dossy tells another tale of woe after blundering a big captain call. Plus, all your favourite segments, including Lair Mare of the Week, Unique Names with Five Names, and a heated return of The Phantom's Phry Pan!
NOTE: Callaghan was officially ruled out for the remainder of the 2026 season by GWS after the time of recording.
