Here’s who everyone is selecting in SuperCoach for 2023πŸ‘‡

AFL SuperCoach is officially open for 2023, with coaches getting in early to build their teams following the opening weeks of the pre-season.

Thousands of SuperCoaches have begun selecting their sides and looking to find the right balance of premiums, PODs and rookies after months of scouting and planning.

After almost a month of SuperCoach being open, two Brisbane recruits lead the way as the most selected players for SuperCoach teams, with draft gun Will Ashcroft leading the way with 69% ownership.

His teammate and former Bulldog Josh Dunkley narrowly trails thanks to his dual position status as a midfield-forward hybrid, with Dunkley comfortably the first picked among forwards with a 9% buffer over ex-teammate Toby McLean - another DPP forward.

In fact, the top 11 selected forwards all have DPP status, with returning Suns tall Ben King (23%) the most selected pure forward given his price of $176,300.

Ashcroft leads the way for pure midfielders at 69%, landing ahead of young Roo Will Phillips (52%), new Tiger Jacob Hopper (47%) and Demons superstar Clayton Oliver (45%).

Young Eagle Reuben Ginbey (48%) leads the way for defenders, while GWS rookie Nick Madden (45%) is the top-selected ruckman thanks to his DPP status as a forward option.
