Coming Tuesday 3 November
Themed dailies
The daily challenge gets a weekly rhythm: a themed draft every Tuesday and Friday, and a wildcard on Sunday.
Themes to start: Spooned (only wooden spooners, drag them into the top four), Premiers only (anything but 27-0 is a loss), So close (Grand Final losers, finish the job) and Mullets & mud (the '80s only).
The glow-up
A whole new look: a night game under the floodlights, with premiership gold.
New card levels. Above gold: Elite (88 to 89) and GOAT (90 and up). Rare cards in every tier, with a foil finish, for the big seasons: Origin, Tests, the awards and premierships.
Jai Arrow is 99 in every season, the only 99 in the game, to raise awareness for MND. Draft him, then back his fund, Stand With Me.
Themed drafts get their own art, and your side lines up on a proper field.
Real season stats on every pick, and a season card for every player: tap him to see why he's rated what he is.
Fairer ratings across the eras
The '80s and '90s greats now sit on the same scale as today's players, so a 1985 forward and a 2025 forward are rated the same way.
Play with mates
Start a game, send your mates the code and draft against each other: snake, traditional or spin drafts with a pick clock.
Then play one season together, round by round, and find out who's the GOAT of the group.
