We are searching for the best SuperCoach soothsayer in the land ... or the luckiest educated guess. And a big cash jackpot is riding on it.

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE ROUND 1 PERFECT 9

The idea is simple — pick the topscoring SuperCoach player in all nine games of a round and pocket the cash. The prize started at $25,000 in Round 1 and will jump by $5000 every week it doesn’t go off.

Did you have a feeling Gary Ablett would go big in his comeback game? Lock him in. Seventy percent of entrants did just that in Round 1 and Gazza saluted with 139. Fifty per cent nominated Patrick Dangerfield against Hawthorn and 48 per cent selected Todd Goldstein against Adelaide. Two more ticks.

But the weekend illustrated the challenge of this game — just seven entrants thought Kane Lambert would topscore against Carlton and only one — 0.01 per cent of entries — picked Tom Hickey to post the most points against Port Adelaide. The Saints ruckman dominated with 157.

So the best tactic seems to be to go with a handful of safe picks and take a stab at the rest. You’ve got nothing to lose and a lot of extra spending money to gain.

And if you already play SuperCoach you can play Perfect 9 with the same login, so picking a line-up each week is as simple as one click of the mouse.

No entrant nominated all nine, with the closest 6/9 by three teams: Galdalf the Grey, Yabba Dabba Blues and Bulliespit.

No winner means the Perfect 9 prize of $25,000 jackpots to $30,000 for Round 2. Enter your team at perfect9.heraldsun.com.au.
