SuperCoach AFL: The Official Podcast

The Phantom, Chief, and Five Names delve into all the big names from the first round of AFL practice matches in 2026.
Is Lachlan McAndrew legit? Could Lachlan Blakiston save our defensive line? Is fading Tristan Xerri growing legs? Is Sam Flanders the greatest player in the history of the game? Plenty of questions need answering as we get our first proper taste of practice match action.
Plus, Five Names breaks some news on a new cheapie from the Crows, The Phantom's new ruck setup, and The Chief botches his keeper league draft.

The Phantom, Chief, and Five Names reunite to discuss all things MIDFIELDERS in SuperCoach.
It's the regular suspects of Bont, Butters and Daicos that are hot on SuperCoaches radars this pre-season... but not in that order! Is paying up the big bucks for Bont worth it?
A plethora of juicy mid-price options are also hard to ignore, but how many can we fit into our squads and are they worth the risk?
Plus, The Phantom's top eight midfielders, Unique Names with Five Names, and the must-have midfield rookies!
