In this episode, Squid breaks down his full AFL SuperCoach squad ahead of Round 1, explaining the strategy behind his structure, premium selections, mid-priced plays and cash cow setup. We dive into his captaincy plans, bye structure, POD targets and the key decisions that could shape the early rounds of the season.

Is he going guns and rookies? Balanced build? Loading up on early value? Every line is analysed so you can see the reasoning behind each pick and apply it to your own team.

If you’re finalising your AFL SuperCoach side, this is the blueprint you need before lockout.
