Round 12 byes

Ess, Freo, Haw, Port, St.K, Wbd

Duursma
Fyfe, Libba
Sweet
Marshall, Worpel, Drew, Parker

Round 13 byes

Bri, Coll, Gee, Mel, Syd, WCE

Lloyd, Moore, Clark, Hore, Lockhart
Neale, Brayshaw, Constable
Grundy, Gawn
Danger, Kelly

Round 14 byes

Ade, Car, GC, GWS, Nor, Tig

Whitfield, Smith
Cripps, Crouch, Walsh, Setters, Stack, Ross
Fisher, Nutting

So that is 8/12/10

I'll be looking to get rid of some of the rookies i have with a round 12 bye given im looking at only fielding 16 players maximum (As Sweet & Nutting wont play). I might look at keeping Stack &/or Ross if they look like getting games over the byes. Overall i feel like i don't have the best structure for the byes at the moment but so much can and will change so with a little consideration ill hopefully get through them relatively unscathed.

To add to this, i think i'll make the likes of Sicily, Macrae and Boak as the highest priority upgrade targets given they have that round 12 bye. I was looking at Macrae and Boak regardless of their bye rounds anyway

My thoughts on the byes

DEF: pretty balanced actually, most balanced line I'd say, it favours R13-14 byes, but I feel it's best to have late byes rather than early byes as we can trade our way out of trouble/hold rookies/midpricers with late byes

R12: Sicily, Ryan, Duursma, Rozee and Scrimshaw, maybe Saad at a pinch. I think Sicily is worth bringing in early based on this, if not then straight after his bye, will be needed in R13-14

R13: Stewart, Clark, Rich, Witherden, Hurn, Sheppard, Rotham, Lloyd, Hore, Lockhart, Salem, Crisp, probably target Stewart and Hurn later on, probably after their bye, good for rookies and PODs this week

R14: Whitfield, Newman, Laird, Smith, Houli, Williams, Simmo (Lel), Hanley, probably most premium/subpremium options this week, but not as many rookies, only really Burgess and Collins



Forwards and rucks, lel basically all R12 + 13. O'Brien, Setterfield, Baker and Burgess are R14 rookies but there's bugger all premos that week, maybe PODs in Jack Martin or Jeremy Cameron? Goldy and Nank are miles behind Grawndy.


Mids are a mixed bag but feel it leans towards Rounds 12 + 14. Macrae, Fyfe, Libba, Bont, Rocky, Zerrett, Steele for R12, Walsh, Cripps, Sloane, Mrouch, Brouch, Jelly, Cogs, Taranto, Cunnington for R14. No real big dogs in R13 as yet aside from Neale and Treloar. Constable could still be in our sides for the first bye round but would imagine we upgrade him on his bye. Oliver and Brayshaw are just run of the mill 100-105 types, not worthy of a priority trade in as an owner of both, JPK and Gaff could be solid I guess though. Some might still have Sheed though too.
