SuperCoach AFL: Pay up for Gawn? Pencil time, Kiddy's back, and bye bye Flynn?
Another monster scoring week, a near double ton for Max Gawn, and another top of the pod for The Phantom as the race for SuperCoach glory heats up! Max Gawn continues to dominate. Is it worth paying up the big price tag to avoid the pain of more monster scores or are non-owners too late?

And the Saints finally get some reward for their work with Dan Butler kicking their first goal of the half. Ross Lyon has his old side worked out, and Hugo Garcia is doing a great job on Caleb Serong. 35 32 HT: Saints on top of Freo midfield stars Al Paton For the second time this season St Kilda's midfield is doing a job on the Dockers. At halftime the Saints lead clearances 25-11 and centre clearances 8-3. They probably should be in front but have blown some chances in front of goal, kicking 4.8 to Freo's 5.5. Rowan Marshall is having one of his good weeks – he's been huge so far with 15 disposals and a ridiculous goal, while Angus Brayshaw lifted that quarter to join Jordan Clark as Fremantle's best. Jack Sinclair has had 10 disposals but has had almost no influence on the contest. He has 32 SuperCoach points at halftime. 28 30 Rowan Marshall what on earth Al Paton Rowan Marshall just kicked one of the most remarkable goals you'll see – volleying the ball out of mid-air from a throw-up 15m out from goal. He absolutely flushed it and it sailed straight over the goal umpire's hat. The big question – is that a clearance? A hitout to advantage?? ROWAN MARSHALL OUT OF MID AIR ðŸ'¥ðŸ'¥ ðŸ'° Watch #AFLFreoSaints LIVE on ch.504 or stream on Kayo: âœï¸ BLOG ðŸ'¢ MATCH CENTRE â€' Fox Footy (@FOXFOOTY) June 29, 2025 Sigh of relief for Dawson captainers Jordan Dawson has scraped by for SuperCoaches who captained him, finishing on 110 after a big last quarter. Izak Rankine finished on 98, just below the ton. Dan Curtin scored a mammoth 151 points, with Sam Banks topping the scorers for the Tigers ahead of Dion Prestia and Toby Nankervis (both 97). 22 17 JC off to flyer for Freo Al Paton Jordan Clark scored 151 SuperCoach points against St Kilda last year and he's on track to match that today. His first goal – thanks to a free kick and 50m penalty against Dan Butler – is his 11th disposal of the game, to go with five marks – and 61 SuperCoach points early in the first quarter. The Saints answer through an unlikely source – Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera. He needed that after being mown down by Josh Treacy while taking a run down the wing a few minutes ago. 14 11 QT: Dockers have edge in arm wrestle Al Paton Rowan Marshall is the leading ball-winner at quarter-time with nine disposals, eight of them kicks. Jordan Clark has eight while Jack Sinclair and Jack Macrae have seven each for the Saints. Quieter start for Andrew Brayshaw and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, who have just three each. Brayshaw hit the target with all three of his and added two tackles to sit on 20 SuperCoach points, while Wanganeen-Milera has a direct clanger, no tackles and 4 SuperCoach points. SuperCoach leaders 44 – Rowan Marshall 42 – Hunter Clark 40 – Jordan Clark 37 – Max Hall 35 – Josh Treacy 'The Alger-ithm is right': Tiger cubs make their mark Luke Trainor and Jasper Alger have both recorded their first goals at AFL level. Trainor, the grandson of superboot Doug Wade, nailed a set shot from 40 metres out, while Alger had a tricky goal from the square slide off his boot. Jasper Alger with one of the freakier first goals you'll see 😮#AFLTigersCrows â€' AFL (@AFL) June 29, 2025 Alger then slotted another one from 45 metres out on an angle. 14 10 Where's Nas? Al Paton Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera came into this game in red-hot form, averaging 120 SuperCoach points in his past four games. But he has been barely sighted so far, with his one kick going straight to Docker Andrew Braywhaw. He has just 6 SuperCoach points closing on quarter-time. 8 9 Saints' surprise tagger call Al Paton Ace tagger Marcus Windhager appears to be assigned to … no one. He seems to be playing as a forward while Hugo Garcia goes head-to-head with Caleb Serong in the centre square. Serong has taken full advantage, racing out to 21 SuperCoach points midway through the first term. Luke Jackson is playing as a midfielder – opposed to Jack Steele – with Sean Darcy in the ruck. 32 79 Tiger Tom finally gets a win Al Paton Tom Lynch will break into positive SuperCoach points after his first goal of the afternoon. It's been a rough day at the office, getting terrible delivery and harrassed and outnumbered by Crows defenders – which led to a third-quarter report – but that was some reward for the Tigers' best ball movement of the day.

NRL round 17: Manly Sea Eagles v Wests Tigers live scores, updates, SuperCoach analysis
It's a huge night for SuperCoaches, with the biggest storylines coming from those wearing maroons and white. With Manly's season falling off a cliff in recent weeks after consecutive upset defeats to the Knights and Titans, coach Anthony Seibold has rotated his backline to present a new-look Sea Eagles side to take on the Tigers. Tom Trbojevic headlines these changes, with the injury-plagued former Dally M winner switching to the centres after an underwhelming run of form in the No.1. Trbojevic can be bought for $485,900, a price that is nearly half of what he started with this season. His 8.1% of owners will be hoping Turbo can conjure his Origin centres form which was destructive in the past, which could see him be a POD for this round. Replacing Trbojevic in the fullback jersey is Lehi Hopoate, who is the ninth most transferred-in player this week. Hopoate has been impressive in his fullback stints this season, averaging 64 from his five starts, but if you take away his two-pointer against the Knights he's averaging 79 from the other four fixtures. The other Manly player impacted by the backline shake-up is CTW favourite Reuben Garrick, who shifts back out to the Manly wing in a move that has SuperCoaches licking their lips. Garrick hasn't started a game on the wing for Manly since early 2023, but the new position could see his tryscoring numbers soar. He's by far the most popular VC this week, with 33% of those teams in top 10% and 38% of the top 1% giving him the vice's armband. Garrick's ownership is now up to 45%, with over 3,000 players bringing him in this week. Outside of Manly players, the likes of Terrell May, Corey Horsburgh and Dylan Lucas are in action tonight on a big SuperCoach night.

SuperCoach AFL 2025 trade guide round 16: Sam Darcy, Jason Horne-Francis
The byes are almost done for 2025, but they are departing with a bang. Round 16 is arguably the toughest week to negotiate of the season. Brisbane, Geelong, Essendon and GWS are on the bye – if you have 19 or more players available, consider yourself in a strong position. Smart trades this week can boost your quota of green dots and set up your team for a big finish to the season – and there are some A-grade options on the table, plus a late flurry of rookies. Here are my top picks. The timing is right to recruit JHF – this is as cheap as he'll get, even if it's not as cheap as many hoped. But after three consecutive price drops this is great value for a player with his scoring ceiling, although there is a small question mark on his role – Horne-Francis has attended just 9 and 21 per cent of centre bounces in his two games back from injury after regularly being at over 70 per cent in the first half of the season. If you have only one spot for a cut-price forward, go with the next guy on the list, but the correct answer is to get both. The young Bulldogs star is so hot right now. The 208cm forward leads the competition for contested marks, adding another two in a dominant five-goal performance against Richmond. Key forwards are always a risky play in SuperCoach, but Darcy could break the mould – he has already scored over 100 in five of his seven non injury-affected games this year and his run home includes games against North Melbourne, Essendon, Melbourne and West Coast. His price has bottomed out, he's bye free and he will be very fun to barrack for. A little more expensive than the two players listed above but getting the No.3 forward for the season on averages for under $500k is, as The Phantom likes to say, great buying. Macrae was traded out of 60,000 teams after his injury in round 10 but was back to his dominant early-season form against the Magpies, scoring 131 points from 29 disposals and 10 clearances. His centre bounce numbers have barely moved since round 5 so you know what you're going to get. That security could be worth paying the extra $21k and slotting him into your forward line instead of Horne-Francis. If you didn't grab him on the bubble, you missed Mills' 121 points against Port Adelaide plus a price rise – but not one so steep (+$38.4k) he's out of reach. And his performance against the Power confirmed a great scoring role largely roaming free across half-back. The Swans looked a different team with Mills, Errol Gulden and Tom Papley back, and they could make a charge to the top eight over the next nine weeks. That would mean more wins, and more SuperCoach points. Bont holdouts were rewarded by three scores well below his usual output from rounds 11-14, and a price drop of almost $90k. When analysing fallen premiums we like to wait for 'the turn', when a player turns his form around again – and Bontempelli's turn on Sunday was about as emphatic as it gets: 36 disposals, three goals, 177 SuperCoach points. This is a guy you want in your finished midfield. A surprise poor game against the Eagles is now well in the rear-vision mirror for Wanganeen-Milera, and his price is climbing towards $600k on the back of a 121 average over his past four games. He's a great way to finish your defence – strap in for a big back half of the season. AL'S TOP VALUE TRADE TARGETS 1. Sam Darcy 2. Callum Mills 3. Jack Macrae 4. Jason Horne-Francis ROOKIES Port Adelaide's mid-season draftee comes with a basement price tag and a -35 Break Even after scores of 34 and 59 in his two matches. We only need him to provide cover for one more week then he can sit on the bench for the rest of the year – if trading him in opens up a second blockbuster move, don't hesitate. Slightly more expensive than the other rookies on this list after playing 19 games from 2022-24, but could be worth the extra expense if he can provide bench cover for the run home in the forward line – a part of the ground many teams are extremely thin. Butler has provided valuable pressure in Hawthorn's two wins before their bye, laying 11 tackles, and is on the bubble this week. Does anyone in SuperCoach not own this guy? His one appearance, in round 14, produced 133 points, and he's a rare case that it would be silly to wait until his bubble game to grab the No.1 pick in the mid-season draft. Get those points on field this week! Featured in plenty of pre-season teams but dropped off the radar as he played in the WAFL until round 8. When he did get a call-up he was the sub in two of his first three games – resulting in scores of 3 and 0, which slashed his SuperCoach price. But he played a full game against Carlton and impressed with 14 disposals and 69 points. His dual-position status could be extremely useful as trades run low – pair him with McCarthy for a swing set between your defence and midfield. Another $99k option if you want a very cheap forward, Essendon's mid-season recruit is on the bubble after scoring 83 points from two goals and 14 disposals in his second game. His first game – seven disposals, 37 points – might be closer to his regular input, if he keeps his spot in the Bombers team with a series of players due back from injury after the round 16 bye. Butler is a much safer option unless you're really strapped for cash. AL'S ROOKIE RANKINGS 1. Tom McCarthy 2. Sam Butler 3. Bo Allan 4.
