KFC SuperCoach AFL: Every player vying for DPP after round 11 revealed

There are more than 20 players vying for KFC SuperCoach DPP, with the next additions taking place after round 11. See who’s in contention and the latest time in position stats here.

This is the last weekend for players to stake their claim for a mid-season DPP addition in KFC SuperCoach.

Max Gawn, Christian Petracca, Sam Walsh and Jayden Short have long appeared the four premiums likely to gain a second position when updates take place after round 11.

But it is Western Bulldogs star and long-time KFC SuperCoach favourite Jack Macrae who has made a late surge for FWD-MID status, jumping from 30 per cent FWD to 40 per cent in the past two rounds.

Macrae has attended just six centre bounces in the past two rounds, with Marcus Bontempelli, Tom Liberatore and Bailey Smith emerging as Luke Beveridge’s preferred trio.

Caleb Daniel has been next in line, with Macrae a distant fifth.

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LATEST TIME IN POSITION NUMBERS

That has caused Macrae’s time spent forward to jump by 10 per cent in two weeks, putting him firmly in the frame for DPP status after this round.

Macrae is averaging 106.1 points this year which would rank seventh of those listed as forwards behind Josh Dunkley, Tim Taranto, Zak Butters, Jack Ziebell, Errol Gulden and Connor Rozee.

While Macrae has made a positive move towards DPP status, those who went early on Gawn and Walsh could be set for disappointment.

Gawn’s ownership has increased by 3.9 per cent in the past two rounds, with many coaches trading in the Demons captain in anticipation of him becoming a RUC-FWD.

Gawn attended 53 ruck contests to Brodie Grundy’s 30 on Friday night, one of the biggest discrepancies between the Demons’ ruck duo this year.

The extra time in the middle caused his time spent forward to drop from 37 per cent to 35 per cent, leaving Gawn right on the threshold for RUC-FWD.

All eyes will be on how Simon Goodwin uses Gawn and Grundy against Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson this round.

Meanwhile, Michael Voss’ decision to use George Hewett as the sub against Collingwood caused Walsh to have his highest CBA percentage since round 6.

Walsh attended 58 per cent of centre bounces against Collingwood, ranked third at the Blues behind Patrick Cripps (79 per cent) and Adam Cerra (71 per cent).

As a result, Walsh’s FWD percentage dropped from 40 to 34 and put him under the threshold for FWD-MID status.

Walsh’s ownership has increased by almost 10 per cent in the past four weeks as the chances of him becoming a must-have FWD lifted.

Short has been back in Richmond’s midfield and his time spent in defence has dropped from more than 50 per cent to 34 per cent after round 10.

Petracca also dropped from 31 per cent forward to 29, all but ruling him out of the mid-season DPP additions.

Those who jumped on Port Adelaide’s Dylan Williams at rookie price will be rewarded when he becomes a DEF-FWD, allowing him to be swapped with Jack Ziebell, Harry Sheezel or Seamus Mitchell at either end.
