AFL SuperCoach 2026 | Flanders Reveals His NEW Team After This Week's Injury Chaos
Season 4, Ep. 45
•
Flanders is back with his UPDATED AFL SuperCoach 2026 Team Reveal after a massive week of injury chaos across the league.
With Round 0 fast approaching, key premiums under injury clouds, rookies rising, and CBAs shifting in practice matches, it’s time to reassess everything. In this episode, Flanders walks through his brand new structure, the players he’s moved on, the value picks he’s bringing in, and the big calls that could define the first month of the season.
Who survives the injury carnage?
Which mid-pricers now become must-haves?
Are the popular rookies still safe?
And is there a POD move that could separate you early?
This is the most important team update of the preseason.
If you’re building your AFL SuperCoach 2026 side, you need to see this before lockout.
Drop your biggest selection headache in the comments and let us know:
Who are you trading out after this week’s injury chaos?
