Opinion Your 2026 SuperCoach Predictions

[Maybe Tomorrow]

By round 3 stevebbb will be complaining that there aren't enough rookies.

Bookies aren't taking bets on that one.

 

[Scythe]

Every Xerri owner is ecstatic with his ownership getting lower and lower

Round 3? I'm already complaining now...

 

[JuddgementDay]

Round 3? I'm already complaining now...

I agree with you this year and therefore I’m only fielding 2 rookies

JS, value & scoring - not many rookies get all three ticks

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

champion data Umpires footy media will all circle jerk Bont for full chol to lip service action but his nose will get in the way.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Sam Darcy is going to have one of the greatest starts to a season of any forward in the past decade, now that he’s no longer in my team.

AFL changes ruck rules again after a couple rucks bugger their knees, throwing everyone’s R1-R2 plans into disarray.

 

[Sneh]

All the GnR teams will regret not getting enough midpricers

 

[Double the Fist]

My 2026 predictions:

-LDU will be a top 3 averaging player after rd6 (Norf will have at least 3 wins) then back to bottom 30 later in season.
-Worrell will average 105+ why. Half back? Kick ins? Natural progession? Puff piece in the media?
-Xerri will average 130 My R1. I hope so!!!!
-Gawn's reign as GOAT tier SC royalty will finally come to an end Probably not. Love the bloke, but I faded him last year cause he was too old.....he will shove that in my anus sideways again this year no doubt. So pick him....
-Both Young and Parish will be out of everyone's teams before the mid season byes (likely still considered a "win") There for points and cash grab. Won't be surprised when Young is in my side in round 24
-ROB will be back in the side as Crows #1 ruck before rd7 That long???

Agree, disagree, critique, laugh, but also give me your 2026 predictions

Darcy will be Thriller for me. He will make me regret not picking him. He has a tough start, in fact, crom has a difficult draw actually.

Knees, ankles, etc. the AwFL is looking at a huge amount of extra player injuries this year IMO. Collision and other IMO.
I hope not however.

Was, xerri just relaxing and taking it easy during the Heath bath??

Thilthorpe will have a 200+ game (probably against West Coast)

Will Ashcroft #1 scoring Brisbane player

Jack Crisp gets injured - the world ends.

Thriller will be one of about 89 AFL players to do that. Hardly a prediction of quality or profundity...

I’ll enjoy your tears over the next couple of months

 

[Sherman41]

A player to get injured this round that will force many of us to change our structure.

[SC fish]

Curnow to be a top 6 FWD by average by seasons end

 

[The Gulden Child]

A player to get injured this round that will force many of us to change our structure.

Young Freo is out most likely. Will unsettle a few.

Prediction: The $50k will just elude me by 10,000 - 20,000 places again.

 

[afl freak]

Bont to be highest Overall SC by a nose.
Naico's to double ton on Anzac day.
Flanders to be a flop pick.
Xerri to lose the most value.
Neale will miss a week due to groin awareness.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Neale will miss a week due to groin awareness.

Already missing a wife due to groin awareness.

Post rd0 and pre rd1, the only prediction I'm changing is Xerri. I reckon the ruck score ceiling is gone. He'll be lucky to get 115-120.

Adding:
-Piggy plays 23 games and averages 115+.
-Lindsay is a flop rookie.

 

[timtimtim]

Not necessarily a prediction per se; rather a list of Rd 0 players (or decisions) to track as the season progreses

Criteria is not previously top of mind but now on our radars after Rd 0

I call it the "Rd 0 Trap or Treat Tracker":

• Bruhn
• Budarick
• Coniglio
• Fonti
• Jaicos
• Piggy
• Riccardi
• Rosas
• Sellwood
• Trac
• Walsh
• ZZ
• Fading NAS over Sinc
• Fading Bont

Feel free to add if I've missed something

By half time in the first game tonight someone will claim their season is over.

HAHA this is very likely. By quarter time even...

I reckon the only way this happens is if Walsh is injured (touch wood) or on 10 points at half time. Jagga is in every team so it doesn't matter, Grlj is in most teams, Walsh is the only relevant premo.

Probably depends on what Grjl scores and if you field him.

Field him for a 25 SZN OVA

Field him for a 90 we so back

73 a decent score hopefully he'll keep improving
