SuperCoach AFL 2025: Winners, losers from round 9, trade advice for round 10
The path forward became clearer after a wild round marked by nailbiting finishes and some immense SuperCoach performances. Here are all the standout scores you need to know from round 9, and some early trade advice. WHO'S HOT Tristan Xerri – 186 points Made a mockery of stats showing it's hard for rucks to score against Brisbane, at least in the second half when he monstered Oscar McInerney and almost delivered a massive upset win for the Kangaroos. His 14 hitouts to advantage were the most for the round and he now has the second-most points for the season behind Max Gawn, and an insane three-round average of 163. Faces Richmond next round which, unlike Brisbane, has been leaking a lot of points to opposition rucks this year. Stick the C on him now! Jack Crisp – 171 points Responded to the heartbreak of a week earlier in emphatic fashion. An absolutely immense performance in his 245th consecutive game, collecting 29 disposals, two goals, six tackles, eighteen contested possessions, seven inside-50s and 709 metres gained. Andrew Brayshaw – 154 points The title of No.1 SuperCoach scorer of 2025 is a three-way battle between Max Gawn, Tristan Xerri and Brayshaw. The Fremantle star can consider himself unlucky to slip to third behind Xerri on Sunday night after his third 150-plus score of the season. Brayshaw's 34 disposals came at 88 per cent efficiency – elite for a midfielder – along with five tackles and a goal. He is No.3 in the competition for effective disposals this year, a big reason he has boosted his SuperCoach average from 109 to 127. Bailey Smith – 150 points We were hot on Smith in the pre-season, and it's nice to get one right – along with 144,000 other SuperCoaches. The No.3 ranked forward for the season on total points and No.1 on averages (115.9) eclipsed his huge round 1 performance and is now averaging 30 disposals and six tackles a game, and has made $154k in SuperCoach. Zach Reid – 133 points In one of the great performances by a SuperCoach rookie, Reid controlled the game from centre half-back with a career-high 27 disposals at 85 per cent efficiency, an equal game-high 14 marks (three contested) and eight intercepts. His price jumped another $59k after lockout and he enters round 10 with a Break Even of -9. SuperCoach Plus projects he'll hit $467k in three weeks. But why would you trade him? Changkuoth Jiath – 132 points Who loves a POD? CJ is in 1 per cent of teams and has pumped out scores of 135 and 132 in his past two games – and he's just $387k. Twenty of his 25 disposals hit the target and that tally included only one kick-in. The risk? His injury history, and a score of 35 before his last two breakout performances. Jack Sinclair – 124 points Dropped almost $100k from a season-high price of $642k after three sub-100 scores, but bounced back to his best in style against the Blues. Won most of his 26 disposals in the attacking half, and used them to maximum impact with his brilliant last-quarter goal a standout in a griding contest. Harvey Langford – 101 points This year's rookie quiet achiever of the season, Langford was avoided by most coaches after he was named the sub in round 1. Since then he has grown in confidence and has a three-round average of 86 after his first SuperCoach ton, scored on the back of three goals and 22 disposals. Saad El-Hawli – 69 points Our rookie saviour? In the midst of a chronic shortage of bargain basement recruits, El-Hawli got a full game for the first time and flew out of the blocks with eight disposals and a goal in the first quarter. He couldn't keep up that cracking pace but finished with 21 disposals (15 kicks) in an impressive Bombers win – hopefully enough to keep his spot in the side for a few weeks. At $155,700, he could be the top cheapie pick this week. James Peatling – 117 points The ex-Giant was the talk of the pre-season but was pushed out of the Crows midfield, and most SuperCoach teams. But an injury to Matt Crouch has opened the door for Peatling to return to the coalface, and he has responded with back-to-back SuperCoach tons. His Showdown score was a season-high on the back of 24 disposals and 12 tackles. Need a cheap midfielder? He's still $452k. WHO'S COLD Caleb Daniel – 51 points A season-low for the third-most popular player in SuperCoach, who finished with 18 disposals against the Lions, and 10 of those came in the first quarter. His trademark pinpoint kicking has deserted him, hitting the target with six of his 11 kicks and recording only one contested possession. After making close to $200k from his starting value, Daniel lost $18k after round 9 and has a Break Even of 121 next weekend. It's worth remembering the Kangaroos face Richmond, a team that has given up a lot of points to half-backs this year. One more chance for Caleb? Henry Hustwaite – 27 points Disaster for the most traded in player of the round. After being added to 43,000 teams – and 47,000 the week before – Hustwaite was subbed off at halftime in a tactical move by Hawks coach Sam Mitchell with just eight disposals to his name. The silver lining – he still jumped in price by almost $50,000, and he has a negative Break Even this week so there is more money to make. Use every lucky charm you know to help him stay in the team. Nick Daicos – 76 points Two weeks ago coaches without Nick Daicos hit the panic button, pulling their teams apart to get the Magpies superstar off the back of an insane 172-point game against Brisbane - and with his price ready to explode past the $650k mark. But things don't always go the way you expect. He scored 125 on Anzac Day but followed that up with 89 against the Cats, then ran into surprise stopper Cory Wagner on Thursday night. He spent time at full-forward, gave away two free kicks and the worst sin in SuperCoach – a 50m penalty, worth negative 7.5 points. Adam Cerra – 83 points After averaging 107 for the first six rounds, Cerra has scored 81, 82 and 83 over his past three games. If you want to look for positives the trend is going in the right direction – and Cerra took two kick-ins and he spent most of the game in defence. But the gap is getting bigger to the topscoring midfielders. Matt Rowell – 80 points Owning Rowell in SuperCoach is not recommended for anyone with heart or anxiety challenges. Capable of being one of the best scoring midfielders in SuperCoach – as evidenced by his 50-point third quarter on Saturday night – he can also drop painfully low numbers – see his other 17-point first half. Rowell has scored 126 or more four times this year, but his past three are 80 or lower. Can we have some consistency please, Matt? Jordan Dawson – 78 points Another week on the Dawson rollercoaster. The Crows skipper will be happy with a Showdown win, but owners can be thankful he laid nine tackles to with his 14 disposals – his lowest tally for the season, thanks to some close attention from Miles Bergman. He's good value if you're in the market for a midfielder, but be aware this is part of the Jordan Dawson experience. Riley Bice – 71 points Is the wonderful ride over? Bice is the cash cow of 2025, making more than $260,000 since making his AFL debut in round 1. But he lost money ($500) for the first time after round 9 and his Break Even next round is 102, a score he has hit only once in his short career. SuperCoach Plus projects a loss of $10,000 after his next game so it's not panic stations yet, but it's time to think about hmatow we can make the most from moving him on. Hugh Boxshall – 38 points More than 25,000 coaches went early on the Saints rookie, adding him after one impressive game. He couldn't back it up on Friday night, although he did appear to be doing a negative role on Carlton star Sam Walsh – so that's a good sign for his job security ... right? He wasn't the only rookie to flop in round 9, with a long list also including Isaac Kako (30 points), Elijah Hewett (33), Finn O'Sullivan (24), Caiden Cleary (35) and Christian Moraes (24), while Ben Paton managed six points from a full game for the Swans.

Concerned Darcy Moore blasts AFL umpires for choosing not to stop Collingwood's clash against Fremantle after horrific collision: 'It didn't feel right'
Collingwood captain Darcy Moore has fired up at AFL officials for not stopping his side's clash against Fremantle on Thursday night after his team-mate Lachie Schultz was involved in a horrific collision on the pitch. The Pies weathered a late final quarter push from Fremantle to secure a 12.11 (83) to 15.7 (97) victory against the Dockers, with Jack Crisp finding redemption from last week's heartbreak with a brace of majors. But with Freo chasing down the lead in the final quarter, Jordan Clark would recover the ball in the middle of the pitch, before coming up against his former team-mate, Schultz. The Pies half-forward smashed into the Freo half-back, wrapping his arms around his former team-mate in a brutal and brave collision, but would come off second best. Despite putting all his weight into the tackle, the Collingwood half-forward's body position was too high, with the 27-year-old absorbing Clark's momentum and falling to the ground underneath his opponent. Schultz appeared to suffer a head injury in the process. Distressing scenes erupted, with the 27-year-old Magpies star appearing to have lost consciousness in the contact. An awful collision sees Lachie Schultz in real trouble, but play continues and the Pies extend their lead. 📺 Watch #AFLFreoPies LIVE on ch. 504 or stream on Kayo: ✍️ BLOG 🔢 MATCH CENTRE — Fox Footy (@FOXFOOTY) May 8, 2025 Darcy Moore says it "didn't feel right" that play continued with Lachie Schultz down and seemingly concussed. 📺 Watch #AFLFreoPies LIVE on ch. 504 or stream on Kayo: ✍️ BLOG 🔢 MATCH CENTRE — Fox Footy (@FOXFOOTY) May 8, 2025 Thankfully, the footy star was seen running off the pitch alongside club doctors and was later seen joining in with his team-mates for the team's song. He also walked around the rooms chatting to members of the team. But a worried and disappointed Moore expressed concerns over why officials did not stop the match, having seen how disorientated the former Freo star had looked. 'We were pretty concerned at how severe he looked and players from both teams thought the game should have been stopped, obviously a lot of Freo guys connected to Lachie,' Moore said to Fox Footy. 'That was really our first concern because of how nasty it looked.' Pressed further on whether he thought the game should have been stopped, the Pies captain added: 'He was right in front of me, so I could see how much he struggled walking. 'So it just felt like 20 seconds - it was a set shot anyway - so it felt like it was right in that moment. But clearly it only happens when it's near the play. 'It felt like out here in the moment that when someone's in a state like that and we're running around chasing the footy, it didn't feel right.' Moore, though, was proud of how his team reacted after losing Schultz to weather a late flurry of majors from the Dockers. 'But to re-group and execute under pressure, the crowd gets up and about. The Freo team score a few goals and the game is on the line and to be able to re-group and then execute was awesome. The heat is set to further intensify on Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir after a six-goal haul from Jamie Elliott led the undermanned Pies to the 14-point win. Off the back of a five-day break and missing four key players, Collingwood made the most of their limited forward 50m entries to post the 15.7 (97) to 12.11 (83) win in front of 47,780 fans on Thursday night. Elliott was the star of the show with 6.2 from 14 disposals, while Jack Crisp tallied 29 disposals, six clearances, 718m gained and one goal just a week after missing his after-the-siren shot in a three-point loss to Geelong. Fremantle won the clearances 44-29 and the forward 50m count a whopping 63-34 in what was a much-improved showing from last week's listless 61-point loss to St Kilda. But the Dockers' haphazard entries cost them dearly, with Collingwood's defence able to pick off the ball time and again in a masterclass display of counter-attack football. It left Fremantle nursing a 4-5 record and needing to answer all sorts of questions about why their talent-laden squad can't get the job done. In a further blow, injury-prone ruckman Sean Darcy was subbed out during the third quarter with what appeared to be a calf injury. It was a brave win for Collingwood, who were able to improve their season record to 7-2 despite being without Brody Mihocek, Scott Pendlebury, Jordan De Goey and Brayden Maynard for Thursday's match. Star midfielder Nick Daicos tallied just 18 disposals, four clearances and a goal while batting a hip-back issue, while Lachie Schultz was heavily concussed early in the final quarter, just minutes after Steele Sidebottom was subbed out. Schultz was knocked out after copping a shoulder to the head while laying a tackle on Jordan Clark. Clark (33 disposals) played a pivotal role in defence for Fremantle, while Andrew Brayshaw (33 disposals, six clearances) was busy in the midfield. Fremantle enjoyed a dream start to the match. Josh Treacy, who was held scoreless last week, kicked the first two goals of the contest, and it was 21-1 when Isaiah Dudley joined in on the fun. The Magpies kicked the final four goals of the quarter to take a five-point lead into quarter time, with Schultz's desperate pressure without the ball leading to two of those majors. Fremantle captain Alex Pearce marked the upcoming one-year anniversary of Cam McCarthy's death by kicking a long-range goal to start the second quarter. Pearce paid tribute to his good mate by kissing the word Dardy - McCarthy's nickname - which was written on his tape. Fremantle led the clearance count 25-16 at half-time, but their wayward entries into attack made it easy for Collingwood's defenders to intercept. Collingwood's ability to get out the back to score goals on the counter continued in the third quarter. Two goals to Hill helped extend the margin to 21 points, but his set shot miss from 35m kept the door open for Fremantle. Patrick Voss nailed a set-shot banana a short time later to close the gap to 15 points at the final change, but two clutch set shots from Elliott in the opening minutes of the last quarter gave Collingwood the breathing space they needed. Elliott ended with three goals for the quarter to see off Fremantle's late challenge, while Bobby Hill kicked three goals for the match.

AFL world melts over Ollie Dempsey's all-time screamer in Geelong Cats win Collingwood at the MCG
Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ollie Dempsey's mark of the year contender lit up the MCG before the Cats dodged a huge bullet after milestone man Jack Crisp's agonising miss after the siren gave Geelong a three-point win. Crisp had a shot on goal for the fairytale finish, but pushed it to the right as the Cats hung on for a thrilling 13.12 (90) to 12.15 (87) win in front of 82,514 fans.

In a controversial finish, Bobby Hill was penalised for a trip on Shaun Mannagh with just over two minutes left when he chased down the Cats forward. The Pies then kicked a goal with 20 seconds left through Brody Mihocek, but they just fell short of a stunning comeback after Crisp's late miss. Jack Crisp missed a shot at victory after the siren. Picture: Michael Klein Crisp fronted up to Fox Footy after the game and talked about the ending. 'A lot's going through my mind. I was feeling confident in my ability to kick the goal at the end there,' he said. 'But it wasn't to be. After an emotional week, feeling the love from everyone, to finally finish the game out I'm pretty exhausted but credit to Geelong. 'I had lots of blokes telling me 'this is what dreams are made of', then it was just about routine.' Crisp was then shown a replay as he talked, stating: 'We practice these scenarios, here we go I'll watch myself miss it and feel sad again. 'I got the distance easy, it was just about the accuracy.' Crisp reacts after the missed shot. (Photo by) Collingwood came into the match riding a six-game winning streak that had carried them to the top of the AFL ladder. Pre-game there were celebrations for Crisp, who broke the legendary Jim Stynes' longstanding record with his 245th consecutive match. When the action got underway, the Cats kicked the first three goals of the game to make an early statement before the Pies hit back through Bobby Hill. Then with just over nine minutes left in the opening term, Tyson Stengle's forward entry sat perfectly for Dempsey to use Steele Sidebottom as the unfortunate launching pad. Ollie Dempsey takes flight at the MCG. Picture: Michael Klein Another angle of the hanger. (Photo by) The 22-year-old Dempsey, Geelong's young player of the year in 2024, put his knee into Sidebottom's head and plucked the Sherrin with two hands in comfortably one of the best marks of the young season. 'Stengle sends it forward, Dempsey will come from behind and take a big hanger over Sidebottom,' Mark Howard screamed on Fox Footy. 'And a big smile too, why wouldn't you in front of 80,000?' Jason Dunstall added: 'I reckon Steele Sidebottom knew he was in trouble. He was sitting under that ball. Jack Crisp with wife Mikayla and their daughters before the game. (Photo by Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images) 'You've still got to time your run perfectly to pull this off. That is a great leap, he's an excitement machine. Just sat on his head. How good?' Garry Lyon had some sympathy for 338-game veteran Sidebottom when he said: 'That's the last thing you need at 34 years of age, to be standing under that and cop a knee to the head.' The Pies slotted the last three goals of the quarter to lead by three points at the first break, but plenty were still talking about Dempsey's masterpiece. AFL Nation wrote on X: 'Dempsey soars to the stars and takes a screamer! That's one for the highlight reel! He settles down and kicks a goal.' Baggers said: 'What a mark, gotta say I love seeing how chuffed he was with that as well.' An account called Miley Virus stated: 'One of the more perfect hangers you'll ever see.' Patrick Dangerfield kicked a key late goal for the Cats. (Photo by Michael Willson/AFL Photos via Getty Images) Geelong fan Kat wrote 'hand over mark of the year right now' and then followed up with 'hang it in the Louvre'. The Pies held a seven-point edge at the long break and when Collingwood broke open a 20-point lead in the third quarter, it looked like they could run away with the four points. But the desperate Cats, coming off last week's three-goal loss to Carlton, again responded to close to within seven once more heading into the last term. When Ollie Henry kicked his second early in the fourth quarter, Geelong took the lead for the first time since the opening term. The Cats then looked like powering to the finish line before the Pies had one last charge, with a host of controversial moments prior to Crisp's miss after the siren.

Jack not so Crisp as the Cats grab a narrow win
Collingwood's ironman Jack Crisp has missed a shot at goal after the siren and Geelong have won their epic AFL duel by three points. Crisp marked about 50m out and his shot missed to the right, with Geelong ending the Magpies' six-game winning streak on Saturday night at the MCG 13.12 (90) to 12.15 (87). After trailling for most of the match, the Cats took a 17-point lead late in the game on the back of an outstanding last quarter from captain Patrick Dangerfield. But two late goals to Brody Mihocek, giving him four for the game, set up Crisp for the potentially fairytale finish. This is Crisp's 245th-consecutive game, breaking the long-standing record set by Melbourne great Jim Stynes. There was also controversy in the frenetic last few minutes, with Bobby Hill running down Shaun Mannagh in the middle. The Magpies get around Jack Crisp after the final siren 🖤🤍#AFLPiesCats — AFL (@AFL) May 3, 2025 But Mannagh was paid the free kick because Hill's tackle was too low on his legs. Collingwood small forward Lachie Schultz had a shot at goal late and it was ruled a behind, with the score standing on review. The Magpies will rue this as one that they let slip, given they dominated for plenty of the game. It was a match played at finals intensity, before 82,514 fans. When Ollie Henry pounced and snapped his second goal eight minutes into the last quarter, the Cats led for the first time since the opening term. Dangerfield had 13 possessions in the last term as he put the Cats on his back and kicked a goal, also rucking at times. Geelong sent Oison Mullin to sit on Nick Daicos and while the Magpies star still had 28 possessions, the tag blunted his impact. Daicos' frustration was apparent in the last term when he gave away a free to Mullin and a 50m penalty. Needing to respond after last week's loss to Carlton, the Cats made a quick start and kicked the first three goals. But the Magpies settled and when Mihocek converted from his strong mark, they had hit the lead at 25 minutes. Geelong lost ruckman Rhys Stanley at quarter time with a hamstring injury. Collingwood continued to look more threatening in the second term and piled the pressure on the Cats, who managed to stay with them and only trailed by seven points at the main break. After Scott Pendlebury snapped accurately, Mihocek missed a shot at goal and the Magpies held a game-high lead of 20 points, 11 minutes into the third. But Geelong kicked three of the next four goals, including Oliver Wiltshire's first in his second senior game, and the margin was still seven points at three-quarter time despite Collingwood having 14 more inside 50s.
