  1. The SuperCoach AFL season will begin in Round 1, not the condensed Opening Round.

    Will the Opening Round count towards my overall score?
    No, the first lockout – and the official start of the SuperCoach AFL season – will be Thursday, March 14 at the first bounce of the Carlton v Richmond game in Round 1.

    Can I still change my team after Opening Round?
    Yes, players will only be locked at the first bounce of their Round 1 game, and not in the four matches of Opening Round that starts on Thursday, March 7. There’s a virtue in picking your team, and seeing how they perform in Opening Round – then dropping them, or keeping them, right through to lockout.

    Can I still follow Opening Round scores?
    Yes, live scores will still be available to our SuperCoach Plus subscribers during the four matches of the Opening Round.

    What will those scores mean for breakevens and price changes?
    Opening Round stats will still be factored into breakevens and price changes. A player’s price will change after three matches, as in previous years.

    Will there be any changes to help us navigate the extra byes?
    It will be best-18 scoring for all bye rounds, including the two-team bye weekends in rounds 2, 3, 5 and 6. If you are new to SuperCoach, this means you’ll score from your best 18 players only in any position, from your selected, on-field starting 22

    What about extra trades?
    Any changes to the number of allocated trades will be announced in January, along with full gameplay details for 2024.

    These decisions have been made to best serve our audience to ensure there won’t be major issues throughout the year.

    1. Does this mean we can pick players who play in the opening round and then trade them out before round 1 and it does not count as a trade?

    2. So rookies playing round zero should be on the bubble before other teams’ rookies ? All other things being equal.

    1. Your not actually trading them because teams are not official until round 1 proper and you have unlimited choice on players until then being the Carlton vs Richmond game on the Thursday

  3. Sounds to me is that is will be bias towards guns and rookies set up as 4 of 6 rounds will have very few rookies on field. Taking mid prices will be bigger risk this year imo

  4. Hi GD and welcome coaches & writers to Season 2024 – and a confusing one somewhat until full gameplay details are released -do we know when this is yet?

    One question – Whatever our team scores in Round zero, am I right in saying that this doesn’t come into any consideration for our total season score for SC 2024?
    So I could hypothetically ignore Round zero altogether and not have a team selected, and it would have no bearing at all for my supercoach season??

    1. correct. round 0 doesn’t exist.

      except the players price adjustments will include round 0, therefore the rookies from round 0 will increase in value earlier.

      unlimited trades to the end of round 1

  5. …….Round 0 is just more important fully listed practice matches for our SC assessment, not like the normal practice matches where the pending layouts are hidden….
