SuperCoach AFL is a fantasy football competition. The object is to pick a team of 30 AFL players to generate the highest score each week. Any of the 16 AFL teams may be chosen from. Points are awarded mainly for effective possessions.
A SuperCoach must pick 9 Defenders, 9 Forwards, 8 Midfielders and 4 Rucks. An AFL player’s position is SuperCoach is judged by where they mainly played last year. AFL players who play in the midfield but are listed elsewhere are typically the best pick-ups. Brendon Goddard from St Kilda and Luke Hodge from Hawthorn are both listed as Defender/Midfielders. These two will be in most teams. Adam Goodes from Sydney and Paul Chapman from Geelong are another two popular dual-listed players. Forward/Midfielders.
New in 2010 are substitutions for dual-listed players. If, for example, Goodes was in the forward line of your team, and Chapman in the midfield. The two can be switched around at any time to cover for the injury of one, or for aesthetics. Also new in 2010 is a rolling lockout. I have been waiting for this. As the season always seems to start on a Thursday, this prevents sheer luck from deciding the make-up of your team. Carlton & Richmond play the first game, again. AFL players can be selected from these two teams separately from the other teams. The other teams may be filled up until the next day, Friday night. This allows SuperCoaches to see who is playing on the Saturday, and who is in the squad for Sunday. A much better system. Not perfect (I would like a rolling lock-out thru to Saturday night), but much better than before.
