Although i'm sure i'll regret this (particularly around draft time), i think my time is up. All the best guys! I'll keep tabs on how the comp is going.I suspect we're going to be in the market for at least one manager... unless mrpez has had a change of heart?

DealTrade Alert:
Geelong West Sparrows trade: picks 21, 25 and warburton warriors future 4th
Drews Dynamos trade: pick 12 and Dynamos future 3rd
Drew23 to confirm
Early signs suggest Blakely is keeping back status. Langdon, Taranto and Bradshaw losing DPP as probably expected (Langdon the worst some of them imo)
Always interesting seeing the position changes, it adds to the challenge of list building for sure. I have Bailey and Setterfield with M/F status but do i plan for them keeping that status or do i treat them like midfielders long term...Just a hypothetical not a real question but the DPP changes always add a new dynamic to team lists each year. Hopefully a few of my many young mids will become defenders in time because i do not have many of those!There was this a few days ago too

PATRICK Dangerfield is set to be the most relevant player in AFL Fantasy in 2019.
The Geelong superstar holds dual-position status for the season ahead and is every chance to be the top scoring forward of 2019.
Essendon’s Devon Smith was the top scoring forward last season and he retains MID/FWD status while Port Adelaide’s Justin Westhoff is named as a RUC/FWD. The duo, together with Dangerfield, were the only players available as forwards to average more than 100 points this year.
Josh Dunkley enjoyed more time in the Bulldogs’ midfield in the second half of the season but remains as a MID/FWD as is his teammate Toby McLean.
Some of recent top draft talent have dual-position status with Tim Kelly, Zac Bailey, Paddy Dow, Bailey Banfield and James Worpel carrying the MID/FWD tag next to their name.
Carlton’s new recruit Will Setterfield was already looking like a popular pick following his move from the Giants. He will have more fans now that he is available as a MID/FWD.
Only 13 players hold DEF/MID status.
The pick of the bunch appears to be Bomber Andrew McGrath who has added MID to 2018’s DEF classification.
After playing as a half-back last season for the Giants and gaining DPP in round six, Lachie Whitfield will be available as a defender only. Same goes for Docker Connor Blakely and Hawk James Sicily.
West Coast’s Elliot Yeo was at the top of the table for defenders this year, but he will just be a MID in 2019. Angus Brayshaw, who had a stellar season for the Dees after finishing third in the Brownlow, also copped the same fate due to his role primarily being through the midfield.
Some Fantasy Draft pundits are bullish on Tim Taranto’s value in the new year. After showing some great signs throughout 2018, the young Giant is available as a MID only; a position where he may not mix it with the elite after having his FWD status stripped.
Other MID only prospects who have held other positions in the past include Paul Seedsman, Ed Langdon, Reece Conca, Brett Deledio, Jed Anderson, Tom Rockliff and Mark Hutchings.

Confirmed.
I think normally UF will have these changes, plus a few extra. Happy that Whitfield will have Back status, better late than never!Always interesting seeing the position changes, it adds to the challenge of list building for sure. I have Bailey and Setterfield with M/F status but do i plan for them keeping that status or do i treat them like midfielders long term...Just a hypothetical not a real question but the DPP changes always add a new dynamic to team lists each year.

ConfirmedTRADE ALERT
LWP gets - Pick 25, Ben Long + Lachie Henderson
deeman87 gets - Pick 15
I have a love/hate relationship with Long. He's been on my list a couple of times but clearly the Saints rate him. He led the clubs first pre-season camp this year and seems a lock as our #1 small forward. Im not sure about his fantasy prospects but as a depth option it can't hurt.
Henderson might be a touch old for my list but again, a best 18 defender who can hit most of the stats can't hurt.
I drop from 15 to 25 in my search for mids but looking at the middle of this draft I think there are options there. Pick 49 will be interesting as well.
I've got a solid list going into 2019 (aiming for finals again) and a big draft haul waiting for me there also.
