In this episode, MJ Want breaks down the AFL trade that sees Max Heath move from St Kilda to the Melbourne Demons, analysing what this means for both clubs and for fantasy footy coaches heading into the 2026 season.
Heath’s transition comes at a critical point in his development, after showing promising form at VFL level and demonstrating the physicality to compete at the top tier. MJ unpacks how Melbourne’s environment — particularly training alongside elite talent — could fast-track Heath’s growth and give the Demons valuable ruck depth moving forward.
For St Kilda, the move makes sense given their stacked ruck department, especially after the arrival of Tom De Koning, which limited Heath’s opportunities. MJ also explores how this trade shapes both teams’ long-term list strategy and the broader trade-period landscape.
From a fantasy football and SuperCoach perspective, Heath may not be an immediate scoring threat, but he’s a player to watch in keeper and dynasty leagues, especially if injuries or team changes open the door for more game time.
Stay tuned as MJ continues to cover every key AFL trade and free-agency move impacting the 2026 season — helping fans and fantasy coaches stay ahead of the competition.
