I don't let the byes stop me from picking someone I really want to start - they just help for all the guys I'm 50/50 on

You can always move Danger/Heeney/Kelly to your mids that week too if need be, and go lighter with R13 mids

There's many options, and as Rico says don't let it worry you too much, but for me they do help with my 50/50 calls. Eg I like Kelly as a forward, but don't love the pick right now, so it's an easy pass for me, but for other's it's different and vice versa

I haven’t looked into byes but they turns me off kelly a lot ...

I completely forgot about them in general

Too much emphasis gets put on the byes. They're Round 12 onward. We'll be fully upgraded by then.

Just trade through them like every other year.

If anything, load up on RD13 and RD14 bye players, and trade them to RD12 ones across the two weeks.

Agree 100%. There are 12 games for points earned before the so-called dreaded Rd 13 bye. Then, everybody's usual target is to have as near as 22 prems on the park after the byes as possible. It doesn't matter what position, or team balance one has during the byes, just what they score during and probably more importantly how they set themselves up to score afterwards. A bad bye is merely 1 game, and what you lose on 1 you can make up on another. Never considered Kelly because of his wish to leave the Cats but by the way he is reportedly training he's in, and bring on the JLT.

Nobody looking at Tom McDonald?

only had one bad game all year.

Had a low of 90 in the finals series.

no Hogan so he is undoubtedly the number 1 option in a team that will likely be top 4 next year.

92 average in the last 4 years

Very nice POD who should go 90+, but again he also has that horrible bye

Hinkley says Gray and Hoff will both play 50/50 MID and FWD

Gray will move around between the two as they need him to, and he expect Hoff won't be rucking much at all now with Lycett in the side - something we all expected, and in turn probably drops him back to his normal high 80 low 90 average history

Good news for those of us with Gray in the side. Pencil him in for another solid year

Do you think the Hoff scored better when he was chopping out in the ruck though? I thought he was more prolific when he was swinging forward to jag a few goals to swinging back for intercept marks, and then getting a few possies on the wing, I had him in my team last year and I thought he scored better when he didn't get stuck in the ruck. His DPP makes him more appealing this year if he doesn't need to ruck at all, he just seems to get free rein when he's not stuck in the ruck.

A lot of people say a lot of things during the PS!

He's not saying anything out of he norm though. Lycett coming in means Hoff won't ruck and Gray will play the same role he always does. It's what we expected anyway

Yes I agree, partly. Hoffs extra points weren't from hit outs, more from when he's free to roam wherever he can jag those intercepts, be a link player etc.
Where his ruck time could have possibly increased his scores is from tackles. Up from 3 in previous seasons to 5. So an extra 8 points a game.
He had one of his best if not best seasons last year, so it wasn't just cos he had more ruck time.
Not confident he can back up his scoring this year though.

Robbie Gray good to go and plans on playing 60-70% of this week's JLT match

This was nice to hear from him too

"It will be a little bit of a mix, probably a little bit higher up the ground than the previous couple of years,"

Looking like a F3 being settled maybe. Gray or Mundy. Gray has the nice Rd 12 bye as well.

Yeh seen that after I posted. So still now to decide. JLT may decide this one too.
