SuperCoach AFL 2025 positions revealed: Search every player

Champion Data has released its full list of AFL player positions for 2025, including a host of fresh faces ready to take SuperCoach by storm. See every position here.

Champion Data has locked in positions for every SuperCoach player in 2025, handing 94 players dual-position status.

Three of the biggest bombshells from the annual position review are ex-Bulldogs, who are all forward eligible next season after some magnet spinning by their now former coach Luke Beveridge.

Star Geelong signing Bailey Smith is a FWD/MID, and so is former premiership defender and new Kangaroo Caleb Daniel.

Meanwhile, Jack Macrae, who moved to St Kilda during the trade period, being listed as a FWD only despite winning All-Australian selection three times as a midfielder.

Champion Data has released its allocation of positions for every player after club lists were locked in following the national and rookie drafts.

Draftees have all been given positions for the first time, with new DPPs including St Kilda’s top-10 picks Tobie Travaglia (DEF/MID) and Alex Tauru (DEF/FWD), Essendon livewire Isaac Kako (FWD/MID) and new Eagle Bo Allan (DEF/MID).

One of the least surprising decisions was to list Nick Daicos as a MID only for the first time, while Harry Sheezel is a DEF only. Other players to lose dual-position status include Jye Caldwell (MID only), Nic Martin (DEF only) and Isaac Heeney (MID only).

Sam Flanders’ versatility has been underlined by his listing as a DEF/MID after he starred as a FWD/MID in 2024.

The list of new DPPs also includes Port Adelaide star Jason Horne-Francis (FWD/MID), ex-Swan Luke Parker (FWD/MID) and Demon Trent Rivers (DEF/MID), while Luke Jackson retains RUC/FWD status.

Brisbane’s No.51 draft pick Zane Zakostelsky is the only DEF/RUC in the game next year.

Champion Data allocates positions based on where players lined up last season, with a 35 per cent game time threshold to earn a particular position. Harry Sheezel missed out on DPP by the barest of margins after spending 34.8 per cent of game time in the midfield in 2024.

Positions are reviewed during the season and there will be three DPP updates across 2025.
