A few eagle eyed SuperCoaches will have noticed the launch of ‘SC Finals’ today, which will provide us with our SC fix throughout the AFL Finals Series.
The rules are simple:
Pick 3 defenders, 4 midfielders, 1 ruck, 3 forwards under the salary cap of $3.7m.
All 11 players score (no emergencies or reserves).
Unlimited trades to cope with teams dropping out of the Finals Series.
Captain earns triple points, Vice Captain earns double points.
Anyone who’s already had a tinker will quickly find that it proves quite a challenge to field a decent side under the salary cap constraint.
We’re sure to get some SCT leagues running soon, but in the meantime, who takes your fancy as lock in selections?

My early thoughts are:
-Must have two bone fide elite midfielders for your C and VC picks
-Any rookie priced players who get selected will be must haves
-Forced to take a few punts on some mid-pricers (Guns n Rookies doesn’t look to be an option).
-Fallen Premiums may be the key
I like the Freo boys in Mayne, Sandilands (if playing) and Pavlich. In the backline a lock is Brandon Ellis. Also, a good rookie priced player is Gary Rohan.
If there are any leagues being created, would be keen 🙂
Not interested. September is for watching the best teams slog it out over four weeks for the ultimate prize. There’s enough to love about the month that i don’t want to be sweating over some random mid-pricers second half SC scores!!
Lachie Neale and Brodie Grundy are in my team. Dont want to put in any blues or port player with the risk of them missing the finals

Might as well do the trifecta SC, SC Draft, SC Finals.
Of course out of my joy for the finals Buddy Cyril Hodgey you all get a Guernsey.
This will be fun. So hard to fill your team in the GnR mindset.
In will.
Heres mine for setting up a team. Will be totally different soon.

@ Will & Harbour Heroes:
Joined up as well, should be good. Was wondering where I would get my Supercoach fix during the finals…….hands were starting to shake 😉
Here’s my teams so far. A lot harder than I thought it would be:
Reid, Ellis, Shaw
Selwood, Watson, Beams, Kommer
Sandilands
Chapman, Dwyers, Rohan
$37000 left
Couple of smokies, if Ried is played up forward he could kick a bag and score well. Sandi is too cheap to pass up, and Dwyer could score well.
Wake me up when September ends 😉

Triple points for C and double for VC. They could be trialling new rules for next year.
My team so far:
Defence:
Brandon Ellis, Andrew Mackie, Heath Grundy
Midfield:
Dayne Beams, Nathan Fyfe, Trent Cotchin, Travis Varcoe
Ruck:
Aaron Sandilands
Forwards:
Paul Chapman, Matthew Pavlich, Gary Rohan.
i liked how the nfl did it at the end of last season.. you picked a starting lineup, and the points were multiplied if you had the same player from one week to the next.. basically it meant you needed to try and pick the best players from the superbowl teams. was really interesting, ill probably give this a shot too though, see how it goes.
