All eyes were on Matt Rowell ($495,100 MID) in the first game most of us have seen him play since he injured his shoulder in Round 5 last season. he former No.1 draft pick had 20 dispoals in 81 per cent of game time for 91 points, but the stat that will please his tens of thousands of KFC SuperCoach owners is 17 contested possessions — four more than anyone else on the field. Ex-Tiger Oleg Markov ($314,300 DEF) started like a house on fire but couldn’t maintain the rage, and please don’t pick Darcy MacPherson ($306,700 FWD) despite an impressive showing. He starred in the pre-season last year but was one of the biggest disappointments of 2020, averaging just 57 points a game.

Superstar midfielder Lachie Neale ($721,800 MID) just rolled his arm over, cracking a KFC SuperCoach ton after a very slow start to ease any concerns over a calf issue that interrupted his pre-season. Joe Daniher ($233,300 FWD) kicked three goals and spent some time in the ruck and, crucially, didn’t get injured. He’s looking like — dare we say it — a safe pick for Round 1. Rookie hopes Nakia Cockatoo and Ely Smith both missed the best 22 but we could have a late defensive cheapie bolter in the form of Harry Sharp ($117,300 DEF/MID), who picked up 10 disposals and kicked a goal in just under 50 per cent of game time.

BULLDOGS V DEMONS
DOGS
So much for The Bont being “POD” in KFC SuperCoach. Coaches have shied away from the star Bulldogs midfielders out of fear of them stealing each other’s points, but on this evidence there are plenty to go around, even after Adam Treloar is added to the midfield mix. Marcus Bontempelli ($623,900 MID) was supreme with 32 disposals and three goals, Jack Macrae ($650,100 MID) had the ball on a string and Josh Dunkley ($560,200 FWD/MID) laid 11 tackles. To top it off Caleb Daniel buzzed off half-back on his way to 34 touches of his own, making his past six KFC SuperCoach scores 110, 118, 120, 92, 152 and 141. And the Dogs weren’t just offering up premium options across the field — bottom-priced rookies Anthony Scott ($102,400 MID/FWD) and Lachie McNeil ($102,400 MID) are right in the frame for a Round 1 start.

Speaking of point of difference picks, Steven May ($507,900 DEF) was a great pick-up in the run home last year when he averaged 111 over the past seven rounds. He could be a good unique option again in 2021. James Harmes ($344,700 DEF) played in the midfield but did he do enough as a mid-price pick? Meanwhile, rookie hope James Jordon ($123,900 MID) started brightly, hopefully his 14 touches is enough to convince Simon Goodwin to pick him in Round 1.

DOCKERS V EAGLES
DOCKERS
Stop tempting us Nat Fyfe ($608,300 MID). The Fremantle skipper continued his red-hot pre-season with another dominant outing against the Eagles. There were plenty of eyes on second-year Docker Hayden Young ($279,400 DEF) and he enjoyed kick-out duties in the absence of Luke Ryan. It was a pleasing return for those planning to start Young, but not enough to result in a bandwagon jumping on. Lloyd Meek ($123,900 RUCK) is firming for a Round 1 start and could be a perfect R3 if Matthew Flynn misses out at GWS. He might even be a better cash cow regardless, although Meek is set to face Max Gawn on debut. Andrew Brayshaw ($544,200 MID) did just enough to be considered as a POD midfielder, although there’s better options at the same price or cheaper. The story was undoubtedly Fyfe — will you take the risk and hope he gets through a full campaign?

EAGLES
Not much to consider from West Coast, although a fast finish by Liam Duggan ($448,600 DEF) gave KFC SuperCoaches plenty to think about. Duggan was meandering to a score of about 80 in his new midfield role before launching late. If you still weren’t impressed, it might be worth finding the extra $70k to start Jayden Short instead. Liam Ryan ($409,600 FWD) produced some great moments but what would he have scored without three goals? He’s a huge risk-reward play. Not sure I could reccomend Andrew Gaff ($570,800 MID). His big possession numbers don’t equate to big KFC SuperCoach scores often enough and that was the case again on Sunday night. You’d have to love a unique player to start Barrass or Sheppard — but they’re great options in KFC SuperCoach Draft.

Add Zak Butters ($471,400 FWD) to your list of mid-price forwards after a 24-disposals, 10-mark performance, but you can cross off Connor Rozee ($377,200 FWD). He was possibly even more brilliant against the Crows but confirmed post-match he’s likely to have foot surgery which will rule him out of the opening rounds. Rookie watchers had to wait until the seond half to see Lachie Jones ($139,800 DEF) but he was super impressive in his shortened game time. Come on, Kenny, back him in!

CROWS
Another tough day at the office but Rory Laird ($564,700 DEF/MID) played as a midfielder all day, which is a positive sign for his 2021 prospects. James Rowe ($117,300 FWD) is a Round 1 lock and would have scored better if he didn’t hit the post from a metre out after a piece of sharp crumbing in the goalsquare. Rory Sloane ($471,900 MID) offers value but cheapies Riley Thilthorpe ($202,800 FWD) and Sam Berry ($117,300 MID) only played a half and didn’t see much of it.

GWS GIANTS V SYDNEY
GIANTS
The Giants’ ruck setup will be one of the biggest KFC SuperCoach talking points leading into Round 1. Matthew Flynn($123,900 RUCK) looked set to take over the No.1 ruck role after an injury to Braydon Preuss, but he rolled an ankle opening the door for Kieren Briggs ($123,900 DEF/FWD), who held his own in the role against Sydney, while Shane Mumford played in a reserves trial match. Mid-price midfielders Tim Taranto ($453,700 MID) and Tom Green ($351,400 MID) didn’t lose any fans while Josh Kelly ($615,500 MID) looks like he will love the new man on the mark rule.

SWANS
The Sydney rookie factory is in full production with a trio of exciting youngsters in line to make their debut in Round 1. Braeden Campbell ($189,300 MID/FWD) hardly wasted any of his 18 disposals, Errol Gulden (4117,300 MID) was busy with 14 disposals, four tackles and a goal, and No.4 draft pick Logan McDonald ($193,800 FWD) showed some great signs after coming on at halftime, although that is a lot to pay for a young key forward. The other Swans cheapie to watch is Chad Warner ($144,000 FWD), who played two tames last year without setting the world on fire (soring 29 and 38) but seems to have taken some big strides over the pre-season.

GEELONG v ESSENDON
Patrick Dangerfield ($611,900 FWD/MID) eased his way back into the action after an interrupted summer and should be firing on all cylinders for Round 1, but the big bolter for the Cats was Jordan Clark ($241,900 DEF/MID) who managed just three matches last year. He played on a wing but drifted back to take a kick-out and forward to kick a goal among his 27 disposals. Rookie forward Francis Evans ($123,900 FWD) only came on late but did snag a goal.

BOMBERS
Expect the KFC SuperCoach popularity of Zach Merrett ($620,900 MID) to shoot up after a slick 37-disposal performance. He has been one of the most reliable SuperCoach midfielders of recent seasons and looks set to pick up from where he left off last season (personal pest average 115.6). Jordan Ridley ($547,700 DEF) is a very viable option down back, but there are some concerns over mid-pricer Dyson Heppell ($319,100 MID) who looked in good shape gathering 21 disposals, but scored just 53 points. Speaking of alarm bells, practice match surprise packet Alec Waterman ($102,400 FWD) scored just 13 after playing only 25 per cent game time.

NORTH MELBOURNE V HAWTHORN
ROOS
Mid-pricers have been taunting KFC SuperCoaches for most of pre-season but Luke Davies-Uniacke might be the real deal. A $432k midfielder, the tough on-baller was dominant in the clinches against the Hawks. Dom Tyson ($243k MID) looms as a potential bolter after a three-goal outing, while $257k FWD Jack Ziebell all but confirmed himself as a lock for Round 1 playing in his new defensive role. He even took a few kick-outs.

HAWKS
Tom Phillips F2 anyone? At $402k, the former Pie represents serious value for a player who averaged 90 in 2018 and will get more time on the inside as a Hawk — especially with Tom Mitchell in doubt for Round 1. Jacob Koschitzke won’t kick six goals every week but if you need a defensive rookie, at least we know he’ll be playing Round 1. Eyebrows were raised when Gilbert Gardiner had Changkuoth Jiath ($266k DEF) in his seven must-haves in January..well it’s time we eat humble pie after this intercepting masterclass. Tyler Brockman’s 80 sent his ownership skyrocketing.

COLLINGWOOD v RICHMOND
MAGPIES
Jordan De Goey ($435,200 FWD) was the beneficiary of Steele Sidebottom’s injury, spending more time in the middle, attending the second-most centre bounces for the Pies and tallying 27 disposals and five clearances. Only Jack Crisp ($533,200 DEF) won more of the ball, finishing with a team-high 130 points, on the back of 29 touches. Jeremy Howe ($517,900 DEF) had 20 disposals in a half while mid-price options Brayden Sier ($313,800 MID) and Isaac Quaynor ($404,300 DEF) did enough to stay in the minds of KFC SuperCoaches. But it wasn’t a good night for the rookie-price Magpies, with Trent Bianco ($123,900 MID) failing to play any minutes and Oliver Henry ($135,800 FWD) struggling to have much of an impact.

TIGERS
Jayden Short ($519,300 DEF) was the KFC SuperCoach story of Friday’s clash with his ownership jumping 7.4 per cent overnight after the running defender did as he pleased against the Magpies. Short tallied 43 disposals and 12 marks, on his way to a game-high 164 points. Josh Caddy ($335,100 MID) had 29 disposals on a wing but we’ve seen that in the pre-season before, while Dustin Martin ($541,600 FWD) cruised to 70 points, from 23 disposals, in three quarters. Richmond’s rookie-price midfield hope Riley Collier-Dawkins ($123,900 MID) showed enough to suggest he’s ready, attending eight centre bounces and recording eight disposals in 39 per cent game-time. But will it be enough?

BLUES
Jack Silvagni ($257,400 FWD) topscored for Carlton, booting 3.1 from his 17 disposals, but Williams’ ($458,600 DEF) first half was the highlight for KFC SuperCoaches. The former Giant had 10 disposals, five clearances, five tackles, two goals and 64 points by halftime and finished with 82 from 72 per cent game time. Fellow recruit Adam Saad ($526,200) also impressed with 21 disposals and a long-range goal while young gun Sam Walsh ($543,300 MID), who also spent time on the bench in the final term, attended more centre bounces than any other Blue, on his way to a team-high 25 disposals in 75 per cent game time. His ball use was the only thing to let him down slightly. The midfield role was again there for Paddy Dow ($202,400 MID-FWD) but skipper Patrick Cripps’ ($523,700 MID) time deep inside-50 was a concern.

The Jacks were back at it on Thursday night. Jack Sinclair ($426,600 MID) was the KFC SuperCoach star, tallying a game-high 28 disposals and 130 points, while co-captain Jack Steele ($658,000 MID) picked up where he left off with a typically prolific display, finishing with 27 disposals and 101 points. But former Tiger Higgins ($419,600 FWD) could be the story of the night, backing up an impressive practice match performance with 24 disposals, seven marks, three goal assists, one goal and 104 points to put his hand up in the mid-price bracket in the forward line. SSP rookie Paul Hunter ($102,400) has KFC SuperCoach crying out for an extra ruck bench spot while Tom Highmore ($117,300) is firming for a Round 1 star after a solid display - and James Frawley’s injury.
