When you trade you better prepare for the third bye week because you have a lot out. Also the first is a bit shakey there. Not quite sold on the forward line either! Other than that it looks alright

Not basing the team on byes... I can trade the rookies out to fix that up it's no biggie!
4 rookie or mid price in rd 8 get rid of 2 here
6 out in rd 10 and 3/4 here and I'll be right.

I think if you plan for byes you jeopardise out on better scoring potential early on.

Gone too strong in mids. Would drop Shuey for one of Tyson/Michie, and use the cash to upgrade Hickey to a premium ruck. If you have cash left over, perhaps trade Crouch to a better rookie as well, don't think he'll get named round 1 and even if he does I don't believe he will string enough games together to make enough cash to trade around the byes, Crows midfield is tough to break into IMO. Or use the extra cash (if there is any) to bring in Suckling for Laidler instead. From what Longmire said in hs "Ask the coach" twitter interview thingo, it didn't seem like Laidler has secured a spot in their 22 yet, and won't play a lot of games.

I see what your saying but you drop points in a position if you think you'll gain what you loose and more which is what I've seen with my ruck and mids. Got my eye on Robertson for crouch. Laidler will get early games with Johnson out just not in the 22.
