You're not the only one...
I reckon Cotchin has just worked his way up the "most selected midfield premium" ladder

Hmmm... Cotchin and either Deledio or Redden.
Hmm so that means no Pendles, Gary, Swan, murphy starting midfield :/ :(
Haven't even thought about making a team so I'm not really fussed.....Yet. :P
Hopefully they re-jig the entire format for tackling MBR's in dream team. :-\

If they go into the MBR's with the same format there will be riots and a loss of traffic to the site. As well as for DT Talk ect.

+1...but will probably just tank rd 13.. :'(
well swanny just got cut from my team.
Pendles, Murphy, Ablett, Ball, Mundy, Omeara
with Ball and Omeara needing to be kicked by round 13.
Once again its looking like i will be trading in boyd or maybee cotchin round 12 or 13.
on a positive note the rucks look good for me.
Goldy 12 , Burger 11 with daniher or grundy 13. If one of the reserves is playing the ruck line should be covered and possibly with DPP if i start roughehad up front and he is DPP than i could cover round 11 with daniher.
7/4/8.
Hopefully some of my rookies end up being Round 12's.
I have just made my team and i have lots of round 13 players, alot of them being premos. What i learnt this year is you need to take hits at some stage in the byes and unless you start doing DPP stuff you will get donuts.
Its lucky its roudn 13 being the problem and not 11 or 12. With it being 13 you can downgrade/upgrade players to guys who have already had the bye.
I have set my team up with 3 round 13 premos in the mids and backs. With a roudn 13 stepping stone player also. That is ball and bock. These guys will help me out roudn 11 and 12 and than rather trying to fidn the cash to go a rookie to a premo, i trade these guys.
quite a few of the good rookies will be round 13 so im looking at trading out these guys first for any round 11 and 12 rookies that pop up and look like playing in the byes.
Yeah Holz is right about the rucks. They are perfect.
Does anyone not remember how pointless it was last season to pick a team structured around the bye rounds? All the planning in the world cannot prepare you for injuries, suspension or possible resting of players.
Round 13 dive seems the easiest way to negotiate these byes

I remember. But it can't be bad to have some sort of back up plan or if there are 2 similar players, choosing the better bye.
My backline has 4 premos out and bock too in round 13, so might need to re jig things. But I think if you have 3 bye player in one line, just cop it and don't plan. As you said, waste of time. :/
EDIT* Just realised that the ruck dpp WILL be a viable option this season, so it is technically possible to only get a single donut in the bye rounds. Good luck to anyone brave enough to plan their entire team around it though!

I agree, by all means try to plan ahead it can't hurt. I personally just would not let the bye rounds make me select Cotchin over Murphy even though Swan, Ablett and Pendles all share the same bye round for example.
I didn't plan this year for the byes. I won all of the bye rounds in my league and come about 3k overall. I reckon I will do the same next year and pick without regard for byes.
Ya have to have some sort of structure for the byes though. As much as plans can go out the window you cant completely ignore them.
This year there was a lot of injuries all around the bye rounds which ruined everyones plans, this year there may not be. Its important to plan as best you can without sacrificing to much.
Im personally just going to tank round 13 I think
FFS the one thing I have been thinking about for 2013 since the end of the 2012 season is a Swan, GAJ, Pendles, Beams, Murphy midfield and I come and check the fixture and all 5 share the same bye.
Back to the drawing board.
what a surprise, beams, swan and pendles share a bye :P

I was prepared to cop that but it was GAJ and Murphy avoiding their bye aswell I wanted most and they BOTH hit :(
There was only a 1 in 20 chance (if the bye rounds were random) of them BOTH sharing the same bye as the Coll mids :(
My midfield pre-byes was: Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Murphy...
Now I have to choose between Swan and Ablett :-\
