The TAB has released its 2019 over/under lines for all 18 AFL teams with 100 days to go until round one.

Gold Coast are by far the lowest placed side at 4.5 wins, with Carlton second last with 6.5.

At the other end of the table, Richmond are first with 14.5 wins, with premiers West Coast, Collingwood and Melbourne all with 13.5.

We've decided to look at all the lines, and give our thoughts about whether we believe the team will finish with more or less wins than the TAB believe.

Geelong-North Melbourne

Geelong

  • Line: 12.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER

A number of teams have been predicted improvers, but Geelong could be set to go the other way. The Cats are difficult to read as on one hand they have bright young players like Brandan Parfitt and Jack Henry, but on the other their senior players are another year older and closer to the end. Overall, Geelong could really go either way, but it feels like their time may be done.

Gold Coast

  • Line: 4.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER

Let's face it. It's going to be a very, very, very, very, very long year for the Suns. They have lost a lot of high-end talent with Steven May and Tom Lynch moving to Victorian clubs and the Suns have received very little in return. The big hope for Gold Coast is that one or all of Jack Lukosius, Izak Rankine and Ben King develop into superstars that want to stick around.

GWS

  • Line: 11.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: OVER

Despite losing many top quality players in recent years, the Giants have managed to maintain a stable core of stars. Keeping these stars fit and firing will be the key for GWS. The likes of Josh Kelly, Jeremy Cameron and Toby Greene will go a long way to deciding the club's fate.

Hawthorn

  • Line: 12.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: OVER

Hawthorn have got talent in all the right areas to go with bright young stars who look ready to a make the next step. Reigning Brownlow Medalist Tom Mitchell will once again be key in midfield, but the Hawks have enough depth and talent to make a strong top four case.

Melbourne

  • Line: 13.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: OVER

Melbourne were the surprise package of the finals and will undoubtedly be there again. They will need to cover for the loss of Jesse Hogan, but with the likes of Angus Brayshaw, Sam Weideman and Bayley Fritsch all set to keep growing as players, the future is bright for the Demons.

North Melbourne

  • Line: 11.5
  • Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER

North Melbourne surprised many with their performances in 2018 and added to strong best 22 with the additions of Jared Polec and Jasper Pittard. The question that will hang over North all year is whether they are good enough to crack the top eight. Certainly they have the high-end players to do it, but is the side strong enough all the way through to do it?
