Here's the links to all nine clubs, plus the Addy sports team predictions for the season.
Bears Lagoon-Serpentine
After a heavy elimination final loss on the footy field last year, the Bears wanted to add midfield depth to their squad. They've achieved that in the off-season, but will it be enough to see the Bears challenge for top three?
Plenty of new faces on the netball court for the Bears as the club tries to move out of the bottom half of the ladder.
Season preview: Bears Lagoon-Serpentine
BRIDGEWATER
The Mean Machine netballers carried the load in 2018, winning the A-grade premiership in fine style.
The footballers fell out of the finals and face a big task to force their way back into the top five in 2019.
The A-grade netballers should go deep into the finals action again.
Season preview: Bridgewater
CALIVIL UNITED
A new coach and some high-profile recruits has the Demons hopeful of a return to footy finals action.
After narrowly falling short at the final hurdle in 2018, the Demons' netballers are primed to go one step better this year.
Season preview: Calivil United
INGLEWOOD
An injection of experience looks set to help the Blues be more competitive on a consistent basis on the footy field.
Great to see the club return to A-grade netball. This season will be all about building for the future.
MAIDEN GULLY YCW
After taking a big step forward in 2018, the Eagles look well-equipped to push for a grand final berth in 2019.
The Eagles' netball fortunes will hinge largely on the talented crop of young players coming through the ranks.
MARONG
The Panthers' new coaching panel will be trying to get the club out of the middle-rungs of the ladder and up into the top five.
Marong's netballers showed flashes of very good form last year. This season will be about closing the gap between their best and worst.
MITIAMO
It would be no surprise to see the Superoos do the premiership double in 2019 - senior footy and A-grade netball.
A lot needs to go right, but on pure talent, Mitiamo is at the pointy end of the competition.
NEWBRIDGE
After winning the senior footy flag last year, do the Maroons have the hunger to go back-to-back?
The A-grade netballers slipped to fifth last year. Lock in a higher finish in 2019.
PYRAMID HILL
The Bulldogs had a productive recruiting campaign and look set to be one of the big improvers on the footy field in 2019?
On the netball court, the departure of Zoe Kennedy will be hard to cover, but the club has high hopes of a return to the finals.
