I assume opening round will be the same as last season so we can have a free look essentially - guys returning from injury like Coleman & Smith will be popular, see how they look to start the season/ potential must have bargains.
Richmond having the bye in round 14 is handy with their amazing draft hand. Lots of SC relevant rookies that will get a solid block of games in/ no byes till then before being maxed out.
Saints & Freo premiums will be appealing having just 1 bye & the only 2 teams sharing that bye. Sinclair, Marshall, Steele & Macrae on my radar from the saints. Ryan, Clark, Serong & Brayshaw from the dockers.

Of the premium rucks,Marshall looks to be the best bet with his draw - Health the only other ruck on the saints list currently also
First 3 games are Crows, Cats & Tigers
Last 2 v Crows :- 107 & 131
Last 2 v Cats :- 127 & 141
Last 2 v Tigers :- 147 & 146
In round 4 he plays Port, has 6 100's out of last 7 for a career average of 127.3

Not sure that fixture toughness is the best measure, as teams change year to year, always hard to say how difficult a fixture us before the season starts. The various club fixture releases are worth a look though.

All these adjustments for byes is just getting silly. Some teams still getting two byes before other teams get one. Why don't they just split Rd 1 over two weeks as others have suggested and then from Rd 6 onwards two teams are on a bye every week for the rest of the season. Means every team gets two byes before the H & A season ends. Top two teams from previous season get Rd 6 then down the ladder till you get to the bottom and then rinse and repeat. That would help keep players fresh and hopefully reduce injuries.
