About the Ballers
The League
Ballers is a Fantasy AFL keeper league established in 2019 and commissioned by Simon Johnston. Now in its 8th season with 12 teams, it has become a battleground of bragging rights, banter, and the occasional dummy spit.
The league runs on Keeper Fantasy with a keeper format — coaches carry 16 players into each new season, draft the rest, and battle it out across the AFL season.

The Dynasty
The Wellermen (Scotty H) are the most dominant force in Ballers history with 4 premierships. Porky Pies have been the bridesmaid 4 times without converting. The Dubs Dollar Men (Dub J) came agonisingly close in 2024 and are hungry for that elusive flag.
Wiki Wiki holds the unwanted record of most losses all-time (32), while Honey Crumpets have collected back-to-back wooden spoons. The Daviidi Code is the only team to hold both a premiership and a spoon.
League Charter
The Ballers operate under an official charter covering fees, draft rules, keeper rules, tanking sanctions, and the infamous Wooden Spoon Challenge.
