There’s few better feelings in Supercoach than when your premiums deliver the goods.

Carlton co-captain Patrick Cripps and Richmond bull Dustin Martin justified their popularity in the season opener with Supercoach scores of 126 and 109 respectively.

Money well spent.

Tigers ruckman Toby Nankervis was herculean, amassing 127 points, while mid-priced defenders Nic Newman (134) and Bachar Houli (112) had nights out.

Blues young gun Zac Fisher (109) was the other player to reach triple figures.

Four of Carlton’s forward scored less than 50 — Mitch McGovern (44), Charlie Curnow (44), Michael Gibbons (35) and Alex Fasolo (26) — while Alex Rance had 36 points before he was helped from the ground with a knee injury.
