AFL SuperCoach is an online fantasy football game for the Australian Football League.^[1][2] It was designed by Vapormedia.^[3] Herald Sun own the website, and run the competition. They award a prize of $1,000 each week (increased to $2,000 for SuperCoach Plus subscribers) to the entrant with the highest score for that week, as well as a grand prize of $50,000 to the entrant with the highest cumulative point total at the end of the home-and-away season.

• There are thousands of dummy accounts with many players creating a second account under another name with an aim solely to win the weekly prize in one of the Bye rounds where legitimate teams have players missing

Each AFL player scores points for their performance in their game in each round.

By using Champion Data's comprehensive rankings system of over 50 different stats, player rankings are the most accurate way to determine how effective a player has been. You can be sure that a high-scoring player is giving his team maximum value. Unlike other stats systems, Champion Data will not simply award a point for each kick, mark or handball. For example, while other games will award points for a kick no matter how far it goes or where it's directed, Champion Data will award zero points for a kick that travels less than 40 meters to a contest.^[4]

Teams have a salary cap of $10,000,000, and have a requirement of having exactly 30 players selected.
