@fantasynut_afl Agree with first 3 points. I play both and think SC is the superior product. One point i also like more about SC is the point scoring system. It rewards the better players with better disposal efficiency and game impact than just stat paddlers in AF.

2 things unrelated to the scoring system that #AFLFantasy does better than #SuperCoach, and 2 that #SuperCoach does better than #AFLFantasy. SuperCoach 1. Boosts The ability to use a Boost 5 times a season is excellent. It works for both casual players and more serious ones. There is strategy in when to use them, but they also give you a way to recover when a bad injury week blows up your team. In a season where sides are getting smashed by injuries, Boosts are a great release valve. Using them early in the season to jump on the key guys you missed or saving them till later in the season to be able to deal with carnage? I really like this wrinkle in the SC game. I’d love to see AFL Fantasy consider something similar. 2. Best 22 Both games have tried to solve the in-game injury problem differently. AF has gone with the TOG% threshold, while SuperCoach uses Best 22. Of the two, I prefer the SuperCoach approach. It avoids awkward 51% vs 49% situations where an emergency either counts or doesn’t, and it adds another layer of strategy around how you use the Flex spot. It still gives coaches some protection when a player gets injured and posts a disaster score. AFL Fantasy 1. Immediate price changes / price change formula One thing that stood out to me watching SuperCoach preseason content was how many people were happy to start players who looked fully priced. That felt strange coming from AFL Fantasy, where value is everything. It makes more sense now that I understand the price change mechanics. SuperCoach price movements are much flatter, this reduces the benefit of chasing value in season. I prefer the AF system where we see much bigger price swings which create more opportunity to identify value and make ground. On top of that, AF having price changes from Game 1 is much better. I don’t really see the case for giving coaches 2 free looks before prices move. In AFL Fantasy, if you want to jump early on a player, you get rewarded. If you want to wait 1-2 weeks for more certainty on role or job security, that’s completely fair, but you pay for it. That makes sense. In SuperCoach, you can wait, gather information, fix other parts of your team, and still bring a player in at the same starting price. I don't think that really makes sense. 2. Platform UI/UX I’ll be blunt: the SuperCoach app and website are miles behind. This is not just familiarity bias. The AFL Fantasy platform is materially better. It is easier to navigate, easier to find information, easier to make changes, and just much better to use. That applies not only to Classic, but Draft as well. I’m in a SuperCoach Draft league and using the platform is still a poor experience. I genuinely don't think the SC platform has changed since 2003?

@AFLSC360 Shitkins out for sure, hopefully for Murdoch. Then one of Houston or Budarick goes for me, will decide later in the week which premo to target. Roberts is high on my radar.

Supercoach Community, Round 5 is nearly a wrap… Who’s on your early rage trade block? And who are you targeting to bring in? 🔄💰 Drop your moves below 👇 #AFLSC360 #supercoach

@delicious2218 @Secko_IFS Yes he is gone before Clug bottoms if he cant bounce against Ess. But if he can get a couple of decent scores then will hold til Clug bottoms then trade

@Crayjay003 @Secko_IFS You said nando to clug? But then said if nando shits the bed he’s gone? Doesn’t make sense

Hugh McCluggage MID $646.3k An 89 yesterday is great signs for Hugh considering his 56% TOG Due to his OR score of 13 he is set to be a very achievable price. Back to back 110s will drop him to $555k going into Rd 8. Great bye too. A very attractive purchase. Sign me up #AFLSuperCoach

@GoatFantasyNews Traded Nando out for Steele in AF this round…so satisfying! Still have him in my SC team though 💩

Noah Anderson - if it weren’t for the unprecedented carnage, you’d be torpedoed 🦶 so hard out of our teams the bladder would come through the leather 😡. 55 #AFLFantasy 69 #Supercoach #AFLSwansSuns Another very disappointing night. Even Parish scored over a 100 today. Rant over.

@SC___Scout Ess next week, his last chance for me. Otherwise goneskies. Would like to trade out Houston we have a problem first.

I wonder if this is still a “laughable” statement 🤔 Bang average so far this year. #AFL #SupeCoach

@AFLSC360 @essendonfc M8, easy decision with the way he and ess plays

💰🐮 JACOB FARROW 💰🐮 Farrow sits on a tidy 50SC points at halftime; the gun rookie has 12 touches and 7 marks. Did you bring him in, and are you taking advantage of his score on field? I hope he’s not sitting on your bench! #aflsc360 #supercoach @essendonfc

@GoatFantasyNews Going value of Kiddy this week first. Then assess next week to choose one of Nas/Whit/Ash. Newman is another value option if he performs well this week again.

🤿 Deep Dive 🤿 Is there a case to be made for Lachie Whitfield this week 👀 While the urn ⚱️ has been stealing the spotlight - and fair enough, his pace and run is hard to ignore (we are big fans) - Whitfield might just be the POD play that helps separate us from the pack. He’s currently averaging: • 29.8 disposals - 17.5 kicks at 74.3% efficiency • 13 handball receives per game (18 last game vs the Pies) • 6 kick-ins, playing on 87.5% of the time That’s a mix we coaches love. Ownership sits at: • 12% in #SuperCoach • 10% in #AFLFantasy So the question is - if you’ve already got the urn, can you find a way to add Whitfield? And if you’ve got neither… is Whitfield actually the smarter first pick given he’s cheaper in both formats? Keen to hear where everyone’s at - and if there’s another defender we should be looking at instead 👇

@AFLSC360 Holmes and Bruhn left for me. Hoping Holmes goes big as he was my trade in this week in MID. I went for the value option to save $$ instead of going Bont…allows me to get one of Ash/Whit/NAS next week, trouble is which one lol

Cats vs Hawks will complete round 4 legends…… how are you tracking and who do you have playing in this game? All eyes on Baz Holmes and a bounce back game from Bruhn for me. Good luck! @GeelongCats @HawthornFC #aflsc360

@lifeasstephh Sheez :( I don’t have English so at least i dodged one of the bullets

@Crayjay003 Oh damn , who was ur vc then?

What a terrible round - English captain - missed the late daicos out - Nando , Jaicos , sheez , butters all horrible scores Great start to season ruined in a round #AFLFantasy

@NaCheers @DamoSC Sellwood to Farrow for me next week too! Then Blakiston goes up to Ash/Whit or NAS or even Kiddy 🤔

@DamoSC Sellwood

Farrow 163k MID/DEF 💦 19 disposals at 90% 15 kicks 12 marks 82pts 4 mins left #supercoach Coming in for me next week

@mattmottram Traded Parish down to Farrow this week, one of my better trades this year. Cash to use to finally get rid of Blakiston next week!

Good match up but Farrow has a fantasy game across half back. #AFLFantasy

@fantasynut_afl @JeffWhite34 Never doubt the 🐐, started him at R1

We knew Gawn was the best ruck in the comp already, but the new rules have highlight how far ahead the pack he really is. @JeffWhite34 showcased his mastery in the ps, not sure I appreciated the subtleties of the craft prior. Dominant. Player of the season for mine so far.

@AFLSC360 He came in for Xerri this week for me. His draw too hard to ignore.

For anyone who doubted Max Gawns ability vs J.Witts, he’s dominating on 78 at HT. Ruck 🐐 #aflsc360

@Supercoach_DR Same! Also, up the lions 🦁 Got to see them win live at the GF last year, dream come true after 2023 GF disappointment. Can’t wait for Chief and Clugga to return!

@Crayjay003 Yeah big attraction for me was his opening fixture run Jay, but under delivered so far mate.

👀Nando 100% TOG in the first quarter. Only 4 touches and a mark to his name. Need him to lift, for some reason hasn’t seemed hungry for the pill in the last couple of weeks. Anyone notice the same? #Supercoach

@fantasynut_afl I will be trading him if there is an opportunity in the future. He was always a SC beast compared to AF.

I fear that Butters is not going to be an 'uber-premium' this year. PA point totals so far: Rd 1: 1248 Rd 2: 1906 Rd 3: 1503 Rd 4: 1387 Unfortunately the 1900+ is the byproduct of playing Ess. V.concerning that his scores outside that matchup have been 92, 86 and 84. 1 tackle in the last 2 games combined is an anomaly. I'm sure he'll be made aware of this, I wouldn't be surprised to see a 10 tackle game next week. I hope this ends up being my 2026 'Max Gawn is a failed pick' tweet.

@AFLSC360 Sheez failed as my vc, C on Butters fml, he shat the bed.

Halftime update….. hopefully Butters isn’t your straight C! Butters 34 🤔 💩 Short 96 🔥 Grlj 44 📈 Luko 31 Watkins -1 💩

@RoyDT Had a gut feeling he was gonna be shit today. Changed C to Ed Richards pre game.
