In light of Callum Mills' humongous SuperCoach score strung together against the Hawks in Round 6, we sought to look back through time and see the top 10 highest SuperCoach individual scores in history.
Producing one of the most efficient games of the season, Mills had 37 disposals (34 of which were effective), 11 score involvements, nine inside-50s, ten marks, one goal, and a SuperCoach score of 214.
This score puts him 23rd on the all-time leaderboard and 4th in the last decade.
Here are the highest scores from the last decade alone...

Before getting stuck into the top 10, it is essential to know that the birth of SuperCoach as a complex scoring platform was on the back of the dominant Sydney Swans outfit, who routinely scored low fantasy scores, yet still was one of the top three sides of the competition.ย
Since 2007, there has been a fixed number of points (3300) to be won between the 44 players on the field.
The fixed number would explain why five of the top 10 games occurred between 2005 and 2006 when there wasn't a set number of points.
10. Mark LeCras - 226 points (West Coast vs. Essendon Round 16 2010)
It was the Mark Lecras show on this Saturday night in July.ย
LeCras kicked four in the first quarter, had his fifth 29 seconds into the second, and kicked his 12th in the last.
With 11 marks inside 50, LeCras's score of 226 is the 10th highest of all time.
9. Josh Drummond - 227 points (Brisbane vs. Richmond Round 10 2007)
Josh Drummond did not win this Round 10 clash or receive any Brownlow votes. Defenders don't get any love, do they?
Drummond had 25 kicks with his damaging left foot, went at 98% efficiency, and had ten rebounds from 50.
8. Patrick Dangerfield - 229 points (Geelong vs. North Melbourne Round 12 2016)
A statistician's dream, Patrick Dangerfield's 2016 effort was something out of a video game. 48 disposals, two goals, 11 inside-50s, 13 clearances, and 13 marks. It's no surprise that the strong-bodied midfielder went on to win the Brownlow later that year.
7. Jonathan Brown - 230 points (Brisbane vs. Essendon Round 6 2006)
After suspension and a knee injury ruled Jonathan Brown out for the first five games of 2006, the centre half-forward's highly anticipated return was massive, with 20 disposals, 14 marks (seven contested), and eight goals. His SuperCoach score of 230 would have been higher if he didn't spend the entire last quarter on the pine.
6. Chris Judd - 232 points (West Coast vs. Brisbane Round 5 2006)
Simply brilliant. Even with a hard tag from Jason Akermanis, Judd released his contested beast with a career-high 39 disposals, 28 contested possessions, eight tackles, ten clearances, and four goals in a simply sublime performance.
5. Lance Franklin - 236 points (Hawthorn vs. North Melbourne Round 10 2012).
THIRTEEN, THIRTEEN, THIRTEEN!
23 disposals at 90%, including 13 goals, six tackles, and 11 marks, Lance Franklin stamped himself as one of the greatest players of all time with this fabulous performance on a cold afternoon in Launceston, with 12 goals after quarter time.
4. Jimmy Bartel - 245 points (Geelong vs. Sydney Round 16 2005).
Jimmy Bartel was everywhere in this Round 16 clash against Port Adelaide. Bartel led all-comers with 32 disposals, ten marks, nine inside-50s, 12 tackles, and two goals. A phenomenal feat considering he was only 21-years-old at the time.
3. Matthew Richardson - 247 points (Richmond vs. Essendon Round 21 2006)
"Richo, Richo-man, I want to be a Richo-man"
On his way to becoming the first man to kick 400 goals at the MCG, Matthew Richardson was a goliath up forward against the Bombers with 9.5, 21 kicks, 19 marks, of which nine were contested, and five inside-50s.
2. Gary Ablett Jr - 254 points (Geelong vs. Sydney Round 5 2008)
Arguably the greatest of them all, Gary Ablett Jr, was the largest SuperCoach pig in the pen for fantasy point scoring, and this effort in Round 5 was no exception.ย
Ablett was at his electric best with 35 disposals at 92%, including 20 contested, five tackles, nine clearances, and three goals for the cherry on top.ย
1. Jonathan Brown - 262 points (Brisbane vs. Hawthorn Round 7 2006)
Not the only time this power-forward features on this list. On his way to eight goals in Round 7 against the Hawks, Jonathan Brown was unstoppable.
Brown marked everything, 13 of his 16 grabs were inside-50, and four were contested.
He also had time for 25 disposals, including 18 kicks and ten contested disposals.
