Brisbane

Collingwood
Big Year Ahead: Is this the year Jamie Elliott finally returns? No setbacks so far but the Collingwood forward line is harder to get a stop in than it used to be.
New Additions: Boomerang Pie Dayne Beams has had a big influence of the club’s young mids.
Injury concern: Brodie Grundy has a sore foot after it was trod on during training.
Essendon
Big Year Ahead: Darcy Parish has added size and will be looking to become one of the Bomber’s key ball-winners this year.
New Additions: Small forward Irving Mosquito looks quick and skilled on the track but perhaps too slight to be playing in 2019.
Injury concern: Continuing to struggle with OP Joe Daniher is unlikely to play rd 1.
Fremantle
Big Year Ahead: Mid turned half-back Connor Blakely has eyes on becoming a midfielder once more in light of Lachie Neale’s departure.
New Additions: Former Richmond mid Reece Conca has already found himself in Freo’s leadership group.
Injury concern: Silky mid Stephen Hill hasn’t run in two months since his quad surgery.
