You all knew it was coming eventually, and after scoring below 2000 this week it was time.

Thinking positively, and looking ahead to the 2019 SuperCoach season, I will be quickly going through the clubs to toss up a couple of names of players returning from injury or who I think will breakout as possible SuperCoach prospects to look at.

Later in the year is when I will go through the clubs in more detail in terms of players who perhaps finished the 2018 strongly looking to continue that in 2019 (not that that always is successful as Kane F*cking Lambert has taught me this season).

Tell me your thoughts on the players I have brought up, as well as throwing some players names into the ring who I didn’t mention who you think has good SuperCoach prospects in 2019.
 
Adelaide - Brodie Smith (if he doesn’t return in 2018 meaning he will be cheap in 2019), Jordan Galluci (should get more game time).

Brisbane
- Jarrod Berry (already seems to be getting some good midfield time, will be heading into his 3rd year so could be primed for a breakout), Sam Skinner (should be cheap but recovering from his 3rd ACL + a key position player so may not score highly).

Carlton
- Sam Docherty (the obvious one, will be cheaper, has been a No.1 SuperCoach defender, Carlton will look to him a lot), Matt Kennedy (settling in this year but should get more midfield time next year alongside Cripps/Murphy/C. Curnow and if Carlton improve he could rack up some points).

Collingwood
- Jordan De Goey (not sure he’ll still be at the Pies but if he is and finally gets some good midfield time he could rack up some high points), Tyson Goldsack (will be coming back from an ACL next year but could be quite cheap and I assume they’ll look to play him quite a lot, Collingwood fans I assume he’s still in the best 22 when fit? Not a huge point scorer though).

Essendon -
Darcy Parish (very talented, could get more midfield time and score higher?), Jayden Laverde (also talented but injury prone, could be quite cheap because of this & if he has a string of games could score quite well).

Fremantle
- Sean Darcy (Sandilands will retire soon and Darcy is definitely the next man coming through, has already scored very well when Freo’s No.1 ruck), Connor Blakely (has scored very well at times over the last couple years, if he does it consistently would be a great pick).

Geelong
- Charlie Constable (he’ll probably make his debut this year but if he doesn’t he’ll be cheap and should get quite a few games next season), Quinton Narkle (rated highly but coming back from an ACL, should finish the season in the VFL once returning and if he does he’ll be primed for a full preseason heading into 2019 and will be very cheap for SuperCoach).

GWS
- Will Setterfield (was about to be a great SC pick this year before doing his ACL, will be very cheap next year and should have a had a good preseason so will be a popular rookie pick), Zac Williams (similar to Docherty as he’s been a high scoring defender before but unfortunately misses the year with injury, meaning he’ll be cheap next year and the Giants would love his run back with Shaw coming to the end).

Gold Coast
- Will Brodie (hasn’t made debut yet, talented young midfielder, if he remains cheap for next year will be a great SC rookie prospect), David Swallow (pretty much the Suns No.1 midfielder, entering his prime, should continue his great scoring next season and will be a good POD).

Hawthorn
- Kieran Lovell (talented player, it’s unlikely but if he doesn’t play this year he’ll be very cheap and should be pushing hard for seniors in 2019), Jaeger O’Meara (similar to D. Swallow, seems to have shaken off injury worries that have plagued him and now scoring well, could be a good POD pick in 2019).

Melbourne
- Aaron Vandenberg (unlucky with injuries lately, if fit could be a pretty cheap forward option in 2019), Jesse Hogan (has started this year very well, playing CHF but moving up the ground racking up the ball well, also sometimes playing in the centre, if that continues could be a great SC pick next year as well).

North Melbourne
- Braydon Preuss (Goldy coming to the end at North, if Preuss is sole No.1 ruck there he should score quite well), Jy Simpkin (would be coming into his 3rd season, with more opportunities possibly through the midfield(?) could score quite well).

Port Adelaide
- Jasper Pittard (for stevebbb if he gets over his hammy issues he could score quite well rebounding alongside Bonner), Sam Powell-Pepper (could do in his 3rd season what Clayton Oliver did in his 2nd season, will get the midfield time, could explode).

Richmond
- Jack Higgins (should get more opportunity and could score well because of it), Maboir Chol (:smirk:).

St. Kilda
- Jade Gresham (could really breakout with more midfield time), Nathan Freeman (pls).

Sydney
- Sam Naismith (will be cheap after missing all of this year with an ACL), Tom McCartin (seems to be impressing lots of people at the Swans, may not make his debut this year but that means he’ll stay nice and cheap for us in 2019).

West Coast
- Nic Nat (after another full preseason should dominate in the ruck, considering he’s already dominating now), Dom Sheed (more consistent midfield time, won’t be tagged, would be a big POD).

Bulldogs
- Tim English (could really breakout as their No.1 ruck after another pre-season), Liberatore (will be cheap after injury, just depends how much midfield time he’ll get).
 
Dude. This game for me is one big mind**** in the now.
Thinking about next year may make me balder than George Costanza by then.

I really hate this wretched game :'(:'(:'(

Lol @ this thread.

JK my season is tanked too.

Doc and Williams should be locks. Preuss will be great value if Goldy is traded/retired/taken out the back and shot. Hard to get too excited about the rest, I guess there will be small amounts of value in guys like Danger and Nic Nait who started 2018 with fitness issues.

Billings should be about 350k and will probably average 110, but nobody will pick him due to the burns and he will get an avalanche of hate mail every time he tons up.
 
Vandenberg will be delisted.
If you want a 2019 watchlist for the Dees its Harry Petty for your rooks
 
lol @ this thread






PS see you shortly :'(
