North Melbourne completely overhauled their midfield over summer. Whether they got the outside run they were targeting or just whoever was willing to come to Arden Street is a debate for another day, but in any case it certainly makes assessing their collective fantasy options a little more interesting.
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.

A huge trade period for Melbourne yielded a lot of new faces at the club, many of which will be competing with established guns for spots in the best 22. It’ll be fascinating to see how they gel and whether the hapless Dees can finally go one step further this year.
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.
One soldier out, one soldier in. Mitchell might be done for the year already but as always, that only creates opportunity for other players and the Hawks will be highly relevant again across the various fantasy formats.
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.
