2019 Potential Targets:

Josh Kelly MID $787K

After averaging 116.5pts from his opening 2 games Kelly injured his groin at Round 3 and subsequently missed 6 games, upon returning he averaged 117.1pts from his following 10 games but was slowed again by injuries late in the year in particular a knee injury which forced him to miss a Semi Final.

Despite the injury riddled year Kelly managed to score 100pts or more in 50.0% of games & 120pts or more in 25.0% of games, he scored 150pts or more in 2 games.

Given an injury free pre-season Kelly should be high on the radar to fill a premium spot at Round 1, his ability to put up elite numbers could be a great point of difference in 2019.

Stephen Coniglio MID $801K

Coniglio is coming of an outstanding 2018 averaging 111.3pts (Incl. Finals), he scored 100pts or more in 73.9% of games & 120pts or more in 30.4% of games.

Coniglio provided a good base last season recording 25 Disposals or more in 20 of 23 games (87.0%), he recorded a season high 152pts against Melbourne in Round 23.

Based on his recent fantasy history Coniglio should be set to put up another solid fantasy season, he is definitely worth the investment.

Lachie Whitfield DEF $726K

Whitfield had a semi breakout season in 2018, it was the first time he averaged more than 100pts in a season (Incl. Finals).

Opposition clubs put some time into Whitfield last season, his range of scores were volatile at times but this was offset given his ability to hit a good amount of ceiling games.

Whitefield averaged 114.5 from winning games last season & 86.4pts from losing games, he may be a target for opposition clubs again in 2019.

Whitefield will be a popular target for fantasy coaches with his DEF status, he should be highly ranked in this category next season along with the possibility of picking up MID status.
