Welcome to Slyder — an accessible, multi-use AFL fantasy draft platform by Magic Sports and home of Slyder Survivor. Slyder enables you to play alone or with your friends, drafting on a highly customised draft platform, offering enhanced functionality and minimalist user experience. We’re more than just a place to play single season or keeper leagues amongst your friends. We’re a one stop shop for all fantasy drafters.

FREE AND FULLY FUNCTIONAL Our platform is completely free for you to create, join and customise your draft league. Save your league’s money for your overall kitty or the end of season function (or the 24 cheeseburgers for the wooden spooner…).
