Time is running out to qualify for dual-position status in SuperCoach.
After 70 players gained DPP in the first round of position changes in April, it’s tougher going this time.
But there are still some big names in the mix, with coaches set to have a big say this weekend in the chances of some SuperCoach stars making the 35 per cent threshold.
Here are 10 names on our watch list – scroll down to search for the latest time in position numbers for every player in the AFL.
CONNOR ROZEE
Rozee will become a defender after this round in the most significant mid-year DPP change. The Port skipper had his highest CBA percentage since round 4 against Geelong but still featured at only 28 per cent despite Jason Horne-Francis’ hamstring injury.
DPP chances: Lock him in
ZACH MERRETT
The Bombers captain might have battled to have much influence against the Bulldogs, but it wasn’t due to a lack of midfield time. Merrett was present at 81 per cent of centre bounces, his second-highest percentage of the season. As a result, he’s going to miss out on MID-FWD status after teasing what would have been a huge DPP change for the past few weeks.
DPP chances: Not this time.
WILL ASHCROFT
Ashcroft looks likely to just miss out on becoming a MID-FWD. He featured in 55 per cent of centre bounces against Melbourne, which was his highest percentage since round 3 and second-highest of the year. He’s been edging toward DPP by 1 per cent a week so would need to play almost exclusively forward in round 11 to become a MID-FWD. Maybe later in the year?
DPP chances: Long shot
MARCUS BONTEMPELLI
David King says Bont has a new role since returning to the Dogs side in round 6, which involves less work at the coal face and more using his elite skills to do maximum damage. It still means big SuperCoach scores – average 133.4 – but fewer centre bounces, attending 60 per cent or lower in every game in 2025 after averaging 75 per cent last year. But unfortunately it doesn’t all add up to Bont as a MID-FWD in SuperCoach, with his forward time at 23 per cent – well short of the magic 35 per cent threshold.
DPP chances: Unlikely
TOUK MILLER
Always seemed a long shot and he’s going to fall short of gaining FWD status. While Miller has had a slight role change this year, he’s still spent 75 per cent of games in midfield.
DPP chances: Not happening
NASIAH WANGANEEN-MILERA
His mid time got a bump on Sunday as he returned to the centre square, attending 13 centre bounces against the Eagles (he was one of eight Saints to see CBA action as Ross Lyon searched for a spark). But even playing 100 per cent mid against the Suns this week wouldn’t get him DPP, at least this time around.
DPP chances: Not happening
KYSAIAH PICKETT
All but assured of picking up MID-FWD status with his split sitting at 46 per cent midfield and 56 per cent forward time in his seven matches. After two tons in his past two games he’s a great SuperCoach Draft option. Could you go there in classic?
DPP chances: Likely
DANIEL TURNER
Here’s one name we missed. Turner is listed as FWD in SuperCoach but has played 56 per cent of game time in defence in his six games for the Demons. His past three scores have been decent – 126, 79, 79 – and he is cheap ($357k). Currently in 1 per cent of teams.
DPP chances: Lock it in
AARON FRANCIS
Will miss out on DPP after sustaining a concussion against Carlton. He’ll miss round 11 and fall short of the six-game threshold required to be eligible for DPP mid-season.
DPP chances: Likely
JORDAN DE GOEY
Looked a lock for FWD-MID but needs to play this week to meet the games threshold – and get his mid time up from 32 to 35 per cent. His scoring has been poor, anyway. One to think about for round 18 if he strings some games, and good SuperCoach scores, together before then.
DPP chances: Unlikely
OTHER NAMES TO WATCH
Corey Wagner bumped his mid time from 34 per cent to 44 per cent last round, all but locking in MID-DEF status on Sunday night.
Teammate Cooper Simpson is the most traded in player in SuperCoach this week on the back of two good rookie scores. Listed as a FWD only, he has played 100 per cent game time in defence – but won’t qualify in this round after playing just three games. If we still have him in round 18 it could be a nice late-season bonus.
Tiger Sam Banks will be a DEF-MID after playing 45 per cent of game time in the midfield, and he has hit form after assuming Jayden Short’s role in recent weeks – scoring 97 and 88 in his past two games. Watch for him on the draft free agency list.
Eagles captain Oscar Allen returned to the forward line on Sunday, likely ruining his DPP chances – he has played 31 per cent in defence this year. Teammate Tim Kelly’s forward time is up this season, but at 27 per cent he’s long odds to make the DPP cutoff.
Last week we highlighted Kangaroos teammates Harry Sheezel and Colby McKercher. Both are already DPPs but their roles have shifted all season. Sheezel moved back out of defence last round, playing 43 per cent midfield and 52 per cent forward. McKercher, meanwhile, spent 36 per cent of game time on a wing, 15 per cent midfield and 49 per cent forward. The result was 129 SuperCoach points – his highest score of the year.
