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.
Port Adelaide-Western Bulldogs
Port Adelaide
- Line: 11.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER
Port recently lost two of their better players, with Jared Polec and Chad Wingard moving to Victoria. While they gained a bright young star in Ryan Burton, it is tough to see where else Port have improved compared to those around them. A tough year could await them as they look for young players to establish themselves in the side.
Richmond
- Line: 14.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: OVER
It shocked most of the AFL world when Richmond went out in the preliminary final. This year, they are back, stronger and with a point to prove. The Tigers, with Tom Lynch now in the side, will want to finish top and prove to the league that they are still the team to beat.
St Kilda
- Line: 8.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER
St Kilda are another team that is tough to read. Predicted for good things in 2018, the Saints quickly found themselves near the bottom and struggling. Max King is the next great hope for the Saints and he will likely become a focal point in their forward line as they look to move back up the table.
Sydney
- Line: 11.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER
Sydney have started their past two seasons poorly and have struggled to make finals. Lance Franklin will enter the season with a limited pre-season and having suffered a few injuries in recent years. All this just give off the feeling that this could be the year that Sydney fall off the pace, as younger teams take the next step.
West Coast
- Line: 13.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: OVER
The reigning premiers should make the top four once again. They haven't lost any of their key players, will get Nic Natanui back at some point and have brought in Tom Hickey to replace Scott Lycett. A team as good the Eagles were last season will not suddenly drop off.
Western Bulldogs
- Line: 9.5
- Hanger Team Thinks: UNDER
It's tough to see where the Bulldogs fit in. They are far from being the worst team, but aren't yet a top eight level side. They have added depth with Sam Lloyd and Taylor Duryea and selected one of the hardest working prospects ever seen in Bailey Smith. The Dogs are not back at a 2016 level yet, but are on their way back.
