And Danger and Dusty and Swallow, so no DPP cover, no need to leave them all out but it needs to be in the back of your mind. I had a 'no worries' attitude towards byes last year and ended up blowing 9 trades in 3 weeks and scored bugger all.
I appreciate the need for a strategy for byes but I won't compromise my starting team for a few donuts in rd 8. Having the best team for rd 1 (and the subsequent 6 rounds) as opposed to the best rd 8 team is more important. Sure, if you have an X vs Y situation and the byes work against you, considerate it. But if you're not taking someone who you think is going to go large because of their bye, you're only hurting yourself.
Realistically, any one of Ablett, Pendles, Beams & Cotchin could all be the #1 player this year. Do you want to start without having them and the option of them as your captain?
