Fantasy Impact: 2019 Rule Changes
ST KILDA
Jade Gresham “is going to spend a lot more time” in the midfield according to assistant coach Brendon Lade on Wednesday, Gresham averaged 21.5 Disposals from his final 6 games of 2018 (Rounds 1-17: 16.1 Disposal Ave).
With Dan Hannebery joining the Saints during the trade period finding enough midfield time to satisfy others won’t be easy, we’ll have to wait for further information on what this also means for Jack Billings in 2019.
INJURY NEWS
Josh J. Kennedy is not expected to resume full training until late January, he turns 31 before the start of the 2019 season and played in only 14 of a possible 25 games in 2018. The (not many) days of playing Kennedy in season long AFL Fantasy are long gone, he might be a worthwhile deep draft selection that has very good upside.
