Introducing... Kane's Roadblocks 🛑
@JG232_ All of Hayes-Brown, Balta, Gray, Lefau are surely ahead of Ryan as options for Richmond to choose to be number 1 ruck this week. Ryan being available doesn’t mean he’s AFL fit or ready. Will play two weeks in the vfl minimum imo
For my fellow draft coaches out there, Samson Ryan has played just five games in his career in which he attended 50% or more centre bounces for scores of 82, 104, 77, 83 and 46 and an average of 78.4.

@AFLSC360 Rough rest of season average
Sheezel 115
Petracca 110
Miller 105
JHF 102
Miers 101
Flanders 100
Rankine 99
Thilthorpe 98
Would end up being a strong group of top 8 fwds. Concerned about the durability of Petracca, JHF and Rankine though
Legends, the Forward line is ABSOLUTELY COOKED this year!
Petracca out just exposed it… aside from Harry Sheezel, there is no clear top 6.
Genuinely, who do you think finishes top 6 from here?
Go👇
@AFLSC360 Yeah just going for average there. From a SC classic ownership perspective Trac could miss their next 7 matches and still be a trade in for round 13 or 14 after their bye as he could be on for a 110 average post bye still
Bottom ager Jake Miller might already be the best key forward in the Talent League and started off his year with a big performance in round 1

@wbulldogsnews9 Bramble hasn’t been in the back line this year, which has helped. They’ve got a high spend Footscray back line tbf! But yes Dogs are doing well with a lot of their work
Dogs low spend backline
Buku rookie
Sellwood msd
Lobb trade second round pick
O Donnell cat b rookie
Lachie Jacques second round pick
Bramble ssp
Dale third round pick
Budarick pick 37
Genius
@JackCJohnston I feel like we were having this conversation about Buku last year. Then his form dipped and he was out of the side. Perhaps it didn’t get this much attention as we weren’t winning.
Most XYZ player after some teams have only played twice is such a snorefest, regardless.
I'm loving what Buku Khamis has been doing and I am very happy for him that he's getting his flowers.
But is he really "the most improved player in the comp"?
This feels like a classic case of "team starts winning so player who has always done A is credited as finally doing A".
@Secko_IFS I thought all the podcasts and conversations and data out there were making the general population catch up to my level in this game, but people are still buying Bont at 700k mid season before he has two byes and buying Xerri at 670k mid season. Mistakes really
66.4%… and counting
66.4% of teams that are in the top 1% rank in SC are trading Xerri in.
I get the appeal and it seems like now or never but 2/3 trading him in after his biggest ever score, I can see the rage posts next week if he only scores 95
#aflsupercoach@SCInsightPod
@SC___Scout I do agree with your overall premise that the number of injury/sideways trades could be too few for the way many coaches go if the rate of injuries to highly owned players keeps up
If you’re aiming for 23 keepers by the end of the season, you usually only get 6 -7 trades for injuries and sideways moves.
Plenty of teams will have used 3 already now on:
❌ Christian Petracca
❌ Errol Gulden
❌ Connor Rozee
#AFL#SuperCoach
@SC___Scout Starting team +5 restructure/sideways corrections should get you 12 premiums and the best cash gen guys. Buy 11 more premiums to get to 23, funded by 14 downgrades. Leaves 10 injury trades for 23 rounds of trading
@mcdonellaussie@RFC_Centre That’s right, I do recall those Trainor comments. Maybe it wasn’t him who was looking good.
That’s probably more based on type of injury and how developed the player is
@pritchfork@RFC_Centre I am finding it interesting that some players get to play VFL to get match fitness whereas some players (last year) did mini preseasons to get fit to play AFL. Can only presume not wanting contact for the later players? (Too fragile?)
My Team - R3
FB - Broad Balta Miller

@mcdonellaussie@RFC_Centre Hopper, but happy to leave Trainor out if Hopper is replaced by someone else. It was a week or two ago Trainor apparently played very well in vfl praccy but didn’t seem to follow it up on the weekend with another elite game. Prestia can cover Hopper’s absence now he’s had a run
@FootyIsMyJam@DemonsFanCams I swear Langford and Lalor are nearly the same player. Not sure why Langford isn’t 50% inside mid, 30% full fwd and 20% bench. Getting 3-4 centre clearances and 1-2 goals a game. Does look off this year though so not even putting pressure on for more mid time
@DemonsFanCams Lindsay to half back is the Windsor to half back of 2026.
He’s a wingman.
But he and Langford have a touch of 2nd year blues about them, Harvey slow as a truck so far this year. I’d almost play him i50 at this rate cos defensively his opponent is stacking it up.
