AFL SuperCoach | DPP Watch & What It Means For Your Team

Season 4, Ep. 67

AFL SuperCoach is about to shift in a big way with DPP changes looming.


In this episode of Between the Arcs, we break down the key Dual Position Player candidates, the likely swings, and how these changes could completely reshape your team structure. From unlocking new trade routes to fixing line imbalances, DPP updates create opportunity, but only if you’re ahead of the curve.


We cover the biggest winners and losers, which players could gain valuable flexibility, and how to plan your trades before the changes drop so you’re not reacting with the pack.


If you’re serious about climbing rankings or winning your league, this is a must-watch before locking in your moves.


Expect strategy, insight, and the moves that separate the top coaches from the rest.
