So the 2013 AFL fixture is out!

<a href="http://www.afl.com.au/fixture/tabid/10586/default.aspx" target="_blank">Check out the full fixture here[/url]

For a quick look at those all important bye rounds though:

R11: Lions, Freo, Hawks, Port, Tigers, Bulldogs.
R12: Cats, Melbourne, North, Saints, Swans, West Coast.
R13: Crows, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendons, Gold Coast, GWS

My first quick thoughts on those byes is that round 13 could get nasty, with a lot of good Midfield options out.

But Im thinking its those ruck options in round 12 that will hurt the most. McIntosh, Goldy and NitNat should all be high on the list, which could make Roughy and Ryder (R/F) worth their weight in gold!

Ill try to get a bit more study done throughout the day, but in the meantime, what are your thoughts?
