Call it mega round.
It wasn’t an official AFL theme round, but some of the biggest names in SuperCoach took it upon themselves to go absolutely bananas.
However it wasn’t good news for everyone.
Scroll down to see the biggest winners and losers from the weekend here plus the early trade mail for round 8.
WHO’S HOT
Max Gawn – 174 points
Toby Nankervis is no slouch, but this is Gawn’s fifth score over 160 against Richmond in their past 11 encounters. And he was robbed of a potential 200-point game when Simon Goodwin sat him on the bench for over 10 minutes at the end of the game. He could make amends next week, though, when the Dees face West Coast – which just gave up 161 points to Lloyd Meek. Lock the C in now.
Zak Butters – 162 points
How do we get this guy into our teams? The short answer is there is no easy way, with his price projected to rise above $700,000 in the next two weeks. Just sit back and watch a rising superstar at work – and be thankful no one else can afford him, either.
Harry Sheezel – 135 points
Had just 10 touches in the first half but may have turned his season around with a monster 13-disposal third term. Some big moments in the final term almost helped North Melbourne pinch a miracle win, and got close to his 148 Break Even.
Christian Petracca – 129 points
We said last week a big score was just around the corner, and Petracca delivered on cue on Anzac Eve. He exploded after halftime against the Tigers, making almost 8000 new owners who jumped on at the bargain price of $481k very happy. He’ll be a bit more expensive this week, but still great buying if you’re looking for a forward.
Chad Warner – 121 points
The other big name to receive FWD status in the new dual-position additions after round 6, Warner hasn’t really been on the SuperCoach radar – until now. He’s close to $50k cheaper than Petracca after his third score above 115 this year. The worry is the other four scores – all under 85. But if you think there’s more upside ahead, get on how at a bargain price.
Tristan Xerri – 158 points
Well played to the 1500 coaches who grabbed Xerri at $100k under his starting price before round 7. After a few down weeks he is absolutely flying again, grabbing 23 disposals, 39 hitouts and a goal against Port Adelaide to send his price soaring back towards $600k.
Xerri is back in a big way. #SuperCoach#AFLFantasy

Matt Flynn – 105 points
OK, maybe we should call it ruck round. Flynn’s opponent Lloyd Meek put up a huge 161 points, but Flynn was the man of the hour after being traded in by more than 44,000 coaches. They can starting counting the cash, which will hopefully keen pouring in for a few weeks yet.
Andrew Brayshaw – 157 points
Has now scored more SuperCoach points this season than any other player after posting his second score over 150 in the past three rounds. Racked up 37 disposals against the Crows, and you wouldn’t bet against him going big again against St Kilda on Friday night.
Bailey Humphrey – 151 points
More than 16,000 coaches traded out Humphrey before he took on the Swans – and you know how it goes from here. Looked a totally different player to the one who scored 48 points against Richmond last week as he booted four goals, collected 13 contested possessions and 11 score involvements.
Sam Powell-Pepper – 98 points
A leading candidate for cash cow of the year, SPP has already made a $195k profit and another big game will keep the cash rolling in for the 35,000 coaches who kept the faith after his 18-point return in round 1. Seventeen disposals, five tackles and a goal for one of Port’s most important players – who will never be the sub.
Conor Stone – 78 points
A career-high score in 20th AFL game, stretching back to 2021. Stone has played all seven this year and has become a regular in the Giants’ backline. This score will give his cash generation a handy boost, but with great job security and handy dual-position status, there’s no reason to think about trading him any time soon.
WHO’S COLD
Matt Rowell – 68 points
This score is bad but it looked a whole lot worse at halftime, when Rowell – who averaged 120 points a game over the first six rounds – had seven disposals and a diabolical five frees against for just eight SuperCoach points. EIGHT! A big second half worked him into the best 22 at least for most teams.
Luke Ryan – 78 points
Where is the old Luke Ryan? The man who averaged 117 last season and 110 the year before is a shadow of his former self, posting just one score over 100 in the first seven rounds. His average of 83 is his lowest since his debut year in 2017, with his disposals and marks well down, but clangers up. His price is in free fall and there is no sign of a turnaround – cut your losses now.
Jack Macrae – 77 points
We aren’t hitting the panic button yet, but just noting that the SuperCoach favourite has two scores in the 70s in his past three after starting the year in a blaze of glory. It isn’t helping that the Saints are getting smashed in the midfield. He still found the footy 26 times but had limited impact with just two score involvements.
Jordan Dawson – 76 points
Had 21 disposals on Anzac Day – second-most for the Crows – but was cruelled by a disposal efficiency of just 43 per cent. His kicking efficiency for the year sits at 52 per cent – not ideal when ineffective kicks don’t score any points in SuperCoach.
Hugo Garcia – 21 points
It’s never a good sign when a coach employs a tactical sub shortly after quarter-time, and Garcia was the victim on Saturday. Ross Lyon said he didn’t regret the move, even after Mason Wood was ruled out of the game with concussion. “Why would I regret it?” Lyon said. “Sometimes you have to stop talking about it and sometimes you just go ‘bang’. I live in the world of action and I pulled the sub, tried to get something done.”
Darcy Tucker – 5 points
He played 97 minutes before being subbed out but in that time he managed 0 disposals, 0 marks, three tackles and one free against.
