Christmas came early for fantasy coaches when it was announced in early December would be forward eligible in 2019.
The talented Will Setterfield finally became part of the navy blues in 2019, and he now will add some physical presence and support for Patrick Cripps.

Last year he took his fantasy game and his Magpies to another level. Can he do it again in 2019?
In 2018 he went from consistent premium to be one of the elite scorers across every format. The big question is, can Jack Macrae do it again?
In my mind, the only injury can prevent Jake Lloyd from ending 2019 as the #1 forward across SuperCoach, AFLFantasy and DreamTeam.
He may have only officially joined the Carlton Football club some days ago, now Michael Gibbons is an AFL listed player, and for fantasy coaches, it couldn’t have been at a better club.
Last year Max Gawn was a top scoring ruckman, but fantasy coaches are uncertain if he can do it again due to one trade that happened late last year.
A surprise move to the halfback flank paid dividends for the former #1 draft pick. Lachie Whitfield looms likely as a top six defensive option, but has he hit his scoring ceiling?
Over the past few seasons, Rory Laird has been a dominant and consistent scoring premium. As we enter into another season, I fail to see much change in regards to the fantasy output from ‘The Desk.’ PLAYER PROFILE Name: Rory LairdAge: 25Club: Adelaide CrowsPosition: Defender 2018 Highest Score: 141 Vs Richmond (AFLFantasy)138 Vs Carlton (SuperCoach)2018 Average: 107.7
Josh Kelly is one of the most enjoyable players available for fantasy coaches to own. The question is, will 2019 be a turn of injury luck for this elite midfielder?
