Not too worried about the byes with 30 trades and just the best 18 players scores per bye round. I think there are plenty of value picks on each line this year so have tried to utilise them. Thoughts on this team?

Very solid and strong team here Ben and no real issues,

Just with 30 trades do not really think you need the mid/def Dpp.  If Martin elevated at Pies I would replace Goodes with Martin. Your choice though.

A little concerned with Priddis whilst he will give you consistent scores will he be in the top 10 mids this year which is what you want for your final team.  Shuey and Gaff may take points from him this year as well.

Nice team though which I rate 9/10.

Still a very nice team:

Few people now going the Prem rookie approach to rucks wit DPP link.

Newman could be a nice POD for you in defence.

You are very strong in forward line  just need to ensure that you have a playing rookie to cover Johnson for Round 1.  Could downgrade one of prem fwds to a mid pricer like JJ Kennedy, Karnezis, Varcoe etc and upgrade another to Buddy,  Would be a very strong team.
