Since it's not looking like I'll be doing much in the near future between high school and uni, this thread is open for business. You may remember this thread from 2012 (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,69979.msg944456.html#msg944456), which totalled 15 pages and 215 posts between December 12th and January 18th. My team is also available for your critique here (http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,87381.0.html), and I'd appreciate your thoughts. Don't just post your team in here every week and not help me out at all!
For those who are new, this is the format I review teams in:
Section One: Likes
Here I post what I like about the team- structure, players, uniqueness, etc.
Section Two: Dislikes
Like the first section, but I post dislikes about the team. See: Gary Ablett Jr.
Section Three: Position Ratings
Score out of 10 for each position, and a quick thought about the line if necessary.
Section Four: Overall Team Rating and Overall Thoughts
Not necessarily an average of the position ratings. Just an overall strength rating and a thought on the team.
Just post your team and I'll get back to you as soon as I can! Might be fast, might be slow, depends, but I will get around to it next time I'm on my computer.

I'll try and do a big one in the first review
Likes
Chappy! going to be a great unique M/F pick imo, could top the 100 average yet is pretty cheap. Along with him, a very nice forward line.
Stants ofc :P
Solid selection of rooks, can't argue with any except Apeness (behind Clarke, Griffen, Sandi and Moller at Freo- would prefer McBean or Nankervis) and Sheed (you can afford Aish in a Brisbane midfield who has lost a lot of quality players).
Can't fault your structure at all, except maybe I'd be looking at playing Hogan at forward 6, he's an absolute gun and I reckon he could go 80+ this season...maybe even higher!
Dislikes
Not a fan of a few of your premos/mid-pricers: Swan will almost definitely drop average and if you're a value-whore like me it's totally unacceptable (I want everybody to increase in average haha), while Waters and HamMac are very injury-prone, which despite their price tags I'd look for other options.
Covered a couple of small gripes such as Ape/McBean+Sheed/Aish and no Hoges on field.
Suggestions
Although I'm not a fan of Swan, not going to suggest moving him on because I know you won't :P
Apeness to McBean or Nankervis
Sheed to Aish (not really necessary if you <3 Sheed, he's still a solid selection)
Waters to Docherty OR Swan to somebody like Cotch/Murph then Waters to a gun like Heppell

Lots of uniques- Howard (meh), Docherty (great), Steven (good), Anthony (meh), Higgins (good), Wellingham (goodish). Note: meh doesn't mean bad, just not good enough to get into my team!
That backline, if it all goes to plan, stands to gain a LOT of money through Stanley, Waters, Suckling, Howard and Docherty as solid mid-pricers.
Very nice ruck line, cheap but probably effective.
Dislikes
Ablett :3
Again, a couple of ruck rookie gripes- don't think Lobb will get games behind Mumford and Giles unless one of them gets injured (in that case, jump on!) and Currie behind Goldy and Daw.
Putting Steven as your first mid to make me think you're going super cheap in there :P

Great midfield. Can't fault any selections, despite being not a fan of Tyson and Polec.
Mitch Clark- could get attention off him from the great Hogan, could be in for a good year and solid price rise if stays fit.
No real spud premos
Dislikes
I'd prefer Aish or Kelly or Billings to Polec. Aish in a Brisbane midfield that has lost Black, Docherty, Polec, etc but still has Rocky and Redden to take the tag should go good imo.
I'd also probably lean towards a bomber backman (Goddard or Heppell or, if looking for a possible edge on the competition, Hibberd).
Longer a bit expensive for a bench ruck imo
Suggestions
One path that could be taken is Longer to Nankervis into Karnezis to a star.

Chappy :P see the first review
Selwood and Beams brothers in the midfield is nice to see :P
Nice defence- Greene and Stanley could really form the backbone of your backline if they fulfill their potential for 2013, and at cheap prices too.
Dislikes
Not a fan of that ruckline at all. McIntosh and Sandi are injury prone and aging- will there even be a full-time rucking role in their sides, with the rise of Blicavs, West, Vardy, Simpson, Clarke, Griffen and Moller, while Lobb won't get games behind Mummy and Giles unless one goes down (as I said before, if that happens, jump on!). Could really hurt you if it falls apart.
Markworth not going to be great imo. Would prefer Lennon, Menzel or Varcoe.
Suggestions
Changing that ruck line! How you get the cash is up to you. I'd personally go sideways to a couple of young guns, the opposite of Sandi and HamMac, in Grundy and Longer.
Lobb to Nankervis, not really that necessary though.
Markworth to one of those guys I mentioned above.

Cheers mate, I probably will go for a Bomber backman, I'm just not confident that Heppell and Goddard will keep their Def status, and I'm not the biggest fan of Hibberd at that price. What are your thought on Pavlich next year? I reckon he should step up towards a 90 average, esp with Gumby taking a bit of attention away from him.

At 406k he's an alright deal and certainly has things going for him, but I'd prefer guys like Buddy, Daisy and Chappy in that price range. Not the worst pick.

No "stupid" selections imo
Super midfield- 6 guns, 2 gun rooks and 2 good rooks.
Lewis, Minson and Jack aren't in too many teams but could improve a bit from their already premo status.
Dislikes
The backline- no real bad selections, but wouldn't be happy with three iffy rooks who won't get that many games tbh, you'll have to play one every week. Why I've gone with 6 guns/mid-pricers and Scharenberg on the bench for cover.
I've developed my distrust for Sandi in recent reviews.
Suggestions
There's a lot of things you could do to make that backline better. I'd look to bring in about 150k to upgrade either Hams, Browne or Kolo to a mid-pricer such as Docherty or Darley, or maybe even right up to a guy like Waters. How you get this cash is the question. Downgrading a midfield gun to a mid-pricer such as Chapman or Murphy could work, or maybe even down to an expensive rook or cheap guy such as Billings, Kelly, Tyson or C. Beams so that you can fix another area, like Sandi up to a premo.

There are lots of good rooks in the mids so that's why I've got so many in there. Not too many in the fwd's and back's though. My bye structure is 11/11/8 :)
My reasoning for my POD's -
Houli - Had a rubbish start scoring 54 and 38, apart from that averaged 95 and thus is underpriced
Liberatrore - Dunno if he's unique but he had a great end to the year
Lecras - Played most of the year in pain with his arm having protection on it, had a bad year in front of the sticks and has an easy draw early on!!! Lock

Very strong backline and forward lines

I've already developed my thoughts on HamMac and Sandi in this thread.
Bock, Fasolo and Polec a bit expensive for the pine imo- I'd downgrade two of them to rooks then use that spare cash to help out elsewhere.
Even though they're a unique, a lot of players who I think there are better options for like Houli, LeCras and Greene for Heppell, Buddy and Birchall or something.

Can't really conform with my dislikes without undertaking major structural changes, so I'll leave this blank.

In relation to your part about no Swan or Ablett, it's a plus for your team! They'll both decrease in average.
Nice midfield, but no Jack Martin!?!?!? He's a flowering superstar mate, future Brownlow medallist.
Can't fault your structure, no real weaknesses.
Big Boy could be a great unique if the Hawks utilise him correctly.
Dislikes
As aforementioned, no JMart :P
I'm not sold on HamMac having strong fantasy value.
It's one of those teams with no faults, but doesn't really catch your eye when you look at it.

Jack Martin in! Probably for Morabito.

You have mentioned Nankervis a few times as someone the boys should have. Any reason?
Almost zero chance he plays round one, and would be very long odds to get more than 3 games next season, depending on injuries

You have mentioned Nankervis a few times as someone the boys should have. Any reason?
Almost zero chance he plays round one, and would be very long odds to get more than 3 games next season, depending on injuries

Chappy is a good pick :D you have 5 of my 7 players-to-have-for-a-good-rating in Chappy, JMart, Hoges, Watto and Seedsy
Good plan with Hickey and Longer, I'll probably do the same if not upgrade to a premo.
Few solid unique-ish guys in (aside from Chappy and Seedsy) Higgins, Masten and Hanley, haven't seen them in that many sides but they probably won't disappoint you for what you're investing in them.
Structurally sound- won't be screwed over by an injury or two, apart from in the ruck where a trade burned is necessary.

This is what I thought, with Mummy going I've always thought that if swans pick up a ruckman in the first couple rounds I'll get him onto my bench as he'll probably play a few games. Pretty talented guy too from what I've read.

Almost zero chance he plays round one, and would be very long odds to get more than 3 games next season, depending on injuries
My question to you - a Swans fan: Who, not including the guys who can pinch hit like K-Tippz, is the No.2 ruck behind Pyke Mike?
Pyke rucks as the Number 1. Tippett works as the resting ruck support. We also have LRT who would be best 22 when fit.
The rest of the guys may get a game when form warrants, but certainly not enough to pick in a fantasy team.

You would think Derickx, Naismith *, Nankervis, Mitchell would be the order right now.
Derickx might be a spud, he is a full sized guy, used to playing against bigger bodies. He was taken for depth, but in 6months time will be based on form, so Nank is more of a chance.
* I put Naismith in front of Nank even though he is rookie listed so elevation is required, which means Nank is effectively fighting Derickx to be #2 ruck.
But unless Pyke goes down, dont see us running with two full time ruck spots like we have been doing.
I'd almost rate Nankervis as the lock in #2 ruck at the Swans (from an outsider's perspective). Remember he is a year older than all the other draftees this year, was the dominant ruck at the championships.
Will probably be in competition with Derrickx but the team selectors won't be able to spell his name so Nank is a lock in tbh :P

Re: the defenders, I'm not sure man - gotta play rookies somewhere I guess and I think those guys should get games between them this year. Clurey definitely ready to step into the AFL I think, while Fuller should become a regular at the Doggies.
Re: Christensen, I think he's ready to break out! But one of my moves if I turned out to be over the cap would be to go Christensen --> Chapman or similar to save some $$
Re: Bombers (:P), I would definitely look to include Goddard/Heppell if they retained defender status, and Watson is definitely gonna be on my shortlist, but will have to see who would make way for him :-\

Firstly, I don't really degrade a team based on Ablett. I just try and see it as a 620k-worth midfielder.
Likes
Structurally sound. A back injury/suspension will bring in a very good Scharenberg, Sheed or Dunstan if a midfielder is out (JMart is a lock best 22), and Lennon or Fasolo for a forward (probably Higgins!) (Hoges lock in the 22 obviously). That's a luxury not too many teams look to be having at this stage.
Apart from you know who, your midfield is very good. Sure about Scooter over Cotch though?
Very nice forward line for the money you've invested.
Dislikes
Ablett :P
I've also developed my mistrust of Sandi in this thread so far- if he goes down, which will happen, you'll be either relying on Goldstein or Mummy missing too, or burning a trade. Not a tasty proposition if I may say so myself.
Suggestions
I'd personally go Ablett to Cotchin and Sandi to Grundy, which would leave you with 120k-ish to spend. You won't do this, though...

Worth noting I have a feeling Impey won't be a forward... From what I've read about him i gather he's a defender (that's what he's listed as on the Draft Machine), so just something to consider!

Yeah it is quite a risk but i think it could pay off, sandi should last at least until the bye rounds and from there he should be upgraded. I don't rate Cotchin, i mean he will average low 100s but i think he will have the same output as Murphy! So i probably won't downgrade GAZ to Cotch but i will definitely look into my ruck dilemma, thanks for the feedback

Darley and Seedsman add a unique flavour to a strong defence
That forward line is very good in all regards
No real spud premo selections
Dislikes
Although cash constraints may have been a factor, not a fan of the tail of that midfield. My team for example has Matt Crouch and Dom Sheed on the bench, offering considerably better cover than Hallahan and Barry imo. I'd also probably prefer Aish in a weak Lions midfield to McDonald in a strongs North midfield, but again $$$ is a problem.

champion 8) i'm happy with an 8.45 for my first attempt. very very likely that team will change around a shower load though. thanks again mate
Cheers for the feedback, If Kade Kolodjashnij is positioned in defence come February I might see if its feasible to cut costs there and have a stronger mid.
So much water to go under the bridge though.

A lot of solid semi-uniques in there- Cloke, Lewis, Savage, Fyfe, Steven, Walker, Howard aren't completely left field, but could give you the occasional edge. Think US democrats and not communists.

No real spud picks at this stage (follows the line above)

That attempt to get an edge by being semi-unique and going guys like Walker, Lewis, Fyfe and Steven over Heppell, Dusty, Watson and Liberatore could hurt if it doesn't pull off and the four guys I mentioned follow their potential.

Thankyou Jukes, a cheer for you. :)
on your earlier point, if Heppell and Martin keep their respective DPP's there is no way they will not be in my team come Round 1, I am just bracing for them losing it. Libba I probably need to see a little bit more top scoring over a longer period to take the punt. I love him to bits though. Watson, well.... I really have no reason for not picking him. :P
I will probably upgrade Steven to Jelwood because I have too many round 10 midfielders at the moment.
On Curren, I think he is this year's Chad Wingard in the sense of him just exploding. To less of a degree than Wingard though as Wingard came up from a 50 avg whereas its 70 for Curren. I did correctly call Wingard last year but was too much of an idiot to start Round 1. The chances of me having Curren in my team come the start of the season are remote, but I think he will go bang.
Thanks again Jukes, you have been most helpful. :)

Watts is a nice unique in a strong backline. I'm not sure he'll work out but if he does you'll be the only one laughing.
Few good unique guns in that midfield in Griff, Boak, Fyfe and a unique mid-pricer in Crouch. I reckon they'll all be good picks, not good enough for my midfield though.

Unique backline! Cannon, Grimes, Gilbert and Howard are in minimal teams, and Seedsy isn't exactly the most popular back despite being a flowering superstar.
Pretty strong midfield too. No spud picks in either premo or rooks/cheapies.

Not the strongest fan of Sandilands, as I've previously explored
Not enough uniques! Even Chappy is becoming a common sight after I put him in :P
Chapman, Pavlich and Michie all had injury-plagued 2013 seasons, and Kersten didn't play a game. They're all good selections imo, especially Chappy, but if they all go down again it could spell a tough few weeks for your forward line. Wouldn't go making hasty adjustments with it for now, but just food for thought. Not really a dislike either.

Really!? Chappy and Lecras will both push 90 a average this year, even though chappy is 100K less he won't play every game this season and with west coasts early draw Lecca should start on fire! Plus, if Chappy doesn't pay off, he would have a unique that could give him an edge in head2head matches.
Having said that you would only choose Lecca over Chapman if you believe Chapman will get injured, struggle to get games or won't score as proficiently as in the past.

I see no reasons for LeCras to push 90. His career high average is 86, and he's 27. Won't get much better unless JJK and Darling give him all the goals. No chance- may likely go down.

Very strong forward line, even with a couple injury prone guys in Higgins and Clark (who are great unique buys btw). Only fault I can see is Jesse Hogan not getting enough game time for you :P
Very strong backline too- especially considering the depth offered by having Howard and JKolo on the bench.
Good choices for your first two rucks, assuming Longer is the #1 ruck at the Saints. The price of Sandi and HamMac without the injury worries.
Dislikes
Another person going with LeCras over Chappy- really?
Only four premo mids could hurt. Although the cheap and rookie-priced mids have a lot of guns, mid premos can generate a lot of points.

Very strong forward line, even with a couple injury prone guys in Higgins and Clark (who are great unique buys btw). Only fault I can see is Jesse Hogan not getting enough game time for you :P
Very strong backline too- especially considering the depth offered by having Howard and JKolo on the bench.
Good choices for your first two rucks, assuming Longer is the #1 ruck at the Saints. The price of Sandi and HamMac without the injury worries.
Dislikes
Another person going with LeCras over Chappy- really?

Stants and Chappy :D
Strong forward line if Patton doesn't get injured again.
Few solid mid-pricers in the midfield could generate a lot of cash if they all work out...or if they don't, screw your midfield early.
Dislikes
Not a fan of Nathan Bock. Injury-prone as they come, and not even guaranteed best 22 if fit. Wouldn't want to rest your hopes on JKolo and Clay every second week.
Like the previous one, not a fan of strong forward lines that leave Hogan on the bench!
You won't need 200k left over! The current prices are going to be almost exactly what they're going to be. Would use that $$$ to upgrade Longer to McEvoy or Bock to a good, uninjured player :P

Strong midfield- good structure, good choice in rooks and very good premos.
Chappy :D
Backline is also pretty strong, would probably lean towards having Bock on your bench over those two for now.
Dislikes
Wouldn't bank on one of Fasolo, Kersten and Lloyd to play every week, maybe two of them if Lamb too has selection troubles or there's an injury to a premo.
Similar story for the backline w/ Fuller, Browne and Osborne, although to a lesser extent. Fuller is a gun, but if one of your starting six go down you'll very likely be staring down a donut if you don't trade out of it.

Balanced along all lines- nice structure
Hoping for your sake and my XVIII's sake Towers gets games, very good player with a bright future, and a nice pick. Good chance for my side if named round 1.
Chappy :D
Dislikes
I wouldn't bank on one of the three injury prone/injury hit players towards the end of your forward line in Fasolo, Rohan and Menzel getting up every week early, maybe even more if a premo gets injured.
Sandi...
The end of your midfield leaves a lot to be desired. Again, wouldn't rely on one (or more if injuries) of Ellis, Ross and Towers getting up every week early, and Polec + Crouch aren't locked in the best 21 for their side yet (although they should be).

Which Def are you favoring? Walker did me right last season. I'm on the fence about Geary.
If you don't mind, what in your mine makes an exemplary team?
Very much appreciate the insight, Jukes.
I don't reckon McVeigh, Mitchell or Walker are bad picks, just that they won't really increase in average, while others like Simpson, Birchall and Henderson probably will. Not a fan of Geary, not at 380k.
My team when I finally bother updating it :3 sitting on the couch watching Seinfeld or Red Dwarf like I did all day today is a much better option imo than doing my team :P
Probably would have to have Seedsman, Docherty, Stanton, Watson, Beams, Rocky, Buddy, Chappy, Daisy, solid depth across all four lines, and doesn't have Swan, Ablett or Sandilands.

Ha! Yeah, I've been filling in time at work noodling with my team.
Had Swan last year and did me right. Probably will try to work in. Will probably pick up Ablett after value drops a bit, like last year. Roll of the dice.
Lots of noodling left. Will be catching up on Workaholics and Sons of Anarchy episodes to keep me from going insane.

Even though I'm not a fan of Sandilands, it's good that you have two mp's just in case i.e. when Sandi gets his monthly injury.
Dislikes
Where'd all your midfield and forward money come from? The backline. Could leave you exposed for cash and trades if it crumbles early.

Good structure- you have at least one bench player in each position who will play most weeks imo.
Few good roughie picks I like- Hendo, Swallow, Big Boy, Sylvia and Clark for example.

Not a fan of Sandi as I've previously displayed. Luckily, you have Longer as back-up.
Relying on one of Fasolo (JS), Bock (injury and JS) and Kersten (JS) to play every week early could be risky.

Strong midfield, if you assume that first player is a $620k lump of cash. Strong 2-6 premos followed by good cheapies.
Good backline- Sam Shaw and LRT :P LRT should play, but with his scoring won't have a ceiling that high. Shaw if he plays should be good. Premos generally good.
Dislikes
Ablett
Sandilands
I'be be tentative about relying on one of Rohan, Bock and Kersten to play every week early. Injury and JS issues. And, to a lesser extent, Mitch Clark could have more injury issues, although he's a gun pick and should play and score well.

Good structure- you have at least one bench player in each position who will play most weeks imo.
Few good roughie picks I like- Hendo, Swallow, Big Boy, Sylvia and Clark for example.
Dislikes
Not a fan of Sandi as I've previously displayed. Luckily, you have Longer as back-up.
Relying on one of Fasolo (JS), Bock (injury and JS) and Kersten (JS) to play every week early could be risky.

No it won't be. Every player will go in and out by the time round 1 comes around.

Both my mini-draft Claremont boys :D
I like JoeD. With Crameri gone and a full pre-season under his belt I'm sure his price will gain a healthy boost.
Aside from JoeD, a good forward line. Clark offers great cover.
Dislikes
Waters and Grimes in that backline could cause some trouble if they go down at the same time. The rest of the backline is great though.
A lot of lower mid-pricers could cost you some points early.

Even though the latter isn't a pod imo, Swallow and Liberatore are good selections imo. Swallow's pre-season will shape whether he makes my side or not.
Chappy is also a great pick. Love how I started the Chappy craze :3
Nic Nat, despite being a ruck only (grrrr), should be a nice POD selection as he'll almost certainly up his average. Lock in SC, good pick in DT- I prefer Big Boy however.
Dislikes
Rohan, Bock and Markworth. McDonald, Battersby and Schade. I wouldn't feel safe relying on one player from each set to play every week early. Not a cause for dramatic concern, but a thought.
Not a fan of Sandi, but at least Longer is there for protection- you'll be playing him most of the time.

I swapped out McDonald for JK. I believe Geelong will give him plenty of game time down back. This allowed me to free up some cash and swap sandi to Grundy. As a pies fan I'm a massive fab of what this kid is capable of. And holding the number 1 ruck spot, his fantasy scores are gonna go up. His ability to get around the ground to ruck contests will help him a heap to.

Strong backline. Few old blokes not the best choice imo, but Swallow is a good roughie, and Seedsy is a star. The backline can be a major point of failure for teams who don't manage it right- that's no worry to you w/ this side.
Good selection of midfielders- although I'm not a fan of Scott Selwood, the rest of the selections, both premo and rookie, are good. Worst two selections in there (not bad selections, just the two worst in that line) both eagles players :3
Good depth on each line, although with your current rucks you'll probably need two back-up good players :P I'd be happy with Rohan/Bock, Fuller and Polec as my primary cover (actually, I think they are my primary cover haha)
Dislikes
The ruck line. HamMac and Sandi are very injury prone and, in the case of Ham, job security is a question. Even if he is best 22, sharing the ruck duties with Simpson and Vardy occasionally will cost him points. Longer is good added security, but if it goes wrong you're a long way behind people who have something like for example McEvoy and Grundy like me w/ Longer on the bench.
Not a huge cause of concern, but relying on one of Fasolo (JS), Rohan (injury and JS) and Bock (injury and JS) to play every week early could disappoint you and force a change in trade plans.

Thanks for the feedback, Jukes. You've convinced me to get rid of McIntosh - and with 90k in the bank I have a choice between Shane Mumford, Nic Naitanui and Ben McEvoy. Who would you choose? Cheers
I'm a big fan of Big Boy, but Nic Nat is a good selection too. Both should have good years and improve their averages. I've gone with McEvoy for now, but their pre-season form will help a lot. NicNat has the injury concerns too.

No real spud premiums, not a fan of old back premos (SMitch, Bartel, Hodge) but they won't fall too much.
Eric Wallace is a good pick (however unimportant R4 is) imo that not many people have looked for. He's developing in leaps and bounds and has great athleticism, could get a fair chunk of games.

Relying on one of Lennon, Bock and Honeychurch to play every week could be a risk because of questionable JS and injury problems.

Even though I'm a fan of the two benchies though- would much prefer Fuller and Howard- and there are too many old blokes who won't increase their average, strong backline.
Chappyyyy, good selection
Dislikes
The midfield. Swan and Ablett are going down in average, 100% certainty. Heppell won't improve enough or score high enough to warrant a midfield selection over guys like Cotchin and Murphy imo, and he's one of my favourite players. I struggle to see more than 1 of Honeychurch, Hill, Morabito, Wanganeen and Webster to play every week early, and you need 3 of them to play each week. I know that they're cheap, but is a definite cause for concern. Would rather spend the extra money and go w/ Polec, Aish, Beams and JMart. Incredibly higher JS and scoring potential.
Back end of the forward line could be a cause for concern, relying on two of Walsh, Nahas, Rohan and Bock to play each week.
If you're going to have Sandi in the ruck, I'd feel much safer having Longer at R3 for the extra 60k.

why do you think swan and ablett are 100 percent sure too go down , im not looking too make any money off them just hope they play all year and the money wont matter
heppell and waters can be so many combinations and they probably wont stay
at this stage though both ablett and swan will be in my team at start
love waters but he is a huge risk ,
vlastuin and joel selwood instead of waters and heppell ?
Swan dropped ~16 points in 2013, Ablett dropped ~10. They're a year older now and the youngsters around them (Thomas, Seedsman, Beams, Sidebottom, Pendles (to a lesser extent); Prestia, Swallow, Bennell, O'Meara) have a year more of experience and both sides have added gun youngsters (Adams, Martin, Kolojdashnij) to their midfields. They'll keep getting a lower share of possession, spend more time up forward or on the bench, and not be looked to every time.

Belly and Grundy is a great ruck combo imo, and Longer back-up is handy. All in all a great ruck line imo for the $ invested.
Strong midfield, although Hanley taking up M4 could hurt when for example mine is Cotchin. Potential 20 point difference in average. The rookies/cheapies are all good, not a fan of Polec though?
Good choice of forward premos, and Clark is a gun.
Buntine is a good pick, should be in more teams.
Dislikes
DPP doesn't help that much! Hurting your team for that tiny bit of extra cover when you have the 2 trades a week not necessary imo.
Relying on one of Fasolo (JS), Bock (JS and injury) and Thurlow (JS) could hurt and force a trade every so often early.

Strong ruck line- two good players almost certain to boost their average, with a promising youngster on the bench in Longer.
Well structured- good cover on all lines. Fuller, Beams+Polec, Longer and Bock+Markworth should offer at least a player of cover every week.
Forward line is nice too. Confirmed solid points in the first three, then three good players who are underpriced, and a solid bench.
Dislikes
No bombers players- did a double take. Best dt team for 2014 :P

Stants and Chappy :D
Strong midfield overall, although the bench players aren't that great- your D7 and D8 are my D9 and D10, and I've only got 5 premos. I'm on the fence RE: Cotch vs Murph, I like both but only room for one, will be decided later.
Dislikes
Weak ruck stock. Longer is the bench ruck for many teams, including my own. If he is beaten comprehensively by Hickey in the competition for the #1 and Nic Nat goes down again, you'll be in trouble unless Currie and Derickx magically find themselves a best 22 spot.
Relying on two of Fasolo (JS), Rohan (injury and JS), Bock (injury and JS) and Kersten (JS) to play every week early could hurt.

Stants :D GOAT pick
Good forward line. Danger and Dusty are class, Wingard is alright, Buddy is a great pick even though everybody has him, and Higgins and Clark are very underpriced for their potential score. Bench players good.
Strong ruck stock. Nic Nat and Big Boy are underpriced as should both appreciate in value and offer solid scoring, Longer back-up is a nice addition.
Pretty well rounded- good structure. All four positions have at least one good cover player.

Docherty is a great pick imo. Very talented and at 270k he's got a lot of money to gain.
Strong ruck stock. Big Boy is the best premo ruck for 2014 imo, Mummy is right up there, and Longer is great cover, even if he is the second choice ruck behind Hickey.
Strong midfield premiums, although Pendles and Jelwood won't be upping their average that much.
Dislikes
Depth problems. Relying on one of Fuller, Laidler and Howard and one of Rohan, Bock and Kersten could be troublesome early due to injury and JS problems, and require reallocation of trades or maybe even donuts.

Chappy :)
If you assume the first man listed (will continue later) is a 620k pile of cash, it's a strong midfield. Rocky, Watto, Cotch and Beams are all good picks and are in my side, while two of Tyson, Beams, Garlett and Polec should contribute handy points each week early, in addition to adding cash.
Zorko is also a good forward line pick. Not in many teams after burning many in 2013, but third year breakout and another pre-season should see him at least increase his average at least by 10 points, maybe even 20-25?
Dislikes
Ablett, big waste of big money
Defensive and forward depth issues could be a cause for concern- relying on one of Giles, Fuller and Battersby and one of Fasolo, Bock and Rohan to play every week could be troublesome early. This problem will likely fix itself as round one draws closer, however.

Brandon Ellis, great pick. If I could fit him in I would. Not only is he very underpriced due to his green and red vests, has a third-year breakout looming. Generally strong midfield, assuming that is a 600k+ pile of money at the start.
Good backline. McVeigh and SMitch should hold their average, or not fall too much, Simpson, Grimes and Suckling should increase in price, while the set of McDonald, Fuller and Howard should at least provide one player a week.
Neutral
Mark LeCras. Not a bad pick as he should retain or slightly increase his 2013 average, but won't increase that much and there are better options around his price range. Parker, Sylvia, Wingard and Chappy are in a similar price range and would get a gig in my team over Lecca.

The ruck stock is shaky. Derickx and Currie are far from guarenteed any game time, Nic Nat is coming off a very injury plagued 2013 (although should be fine. should), and Sandi is worse than Shaun Higgins at staying fit. Would like Longer as back-up over the current two.

Good player selections in the forward line. Four guys in Titch, Howlett, Chappy and Dixon who won't be in that many teams but are still good picks, especially my man Chappy.
From the other lines, Grundy, Griff and Flossy are good picks who too aren't in every team.
Strong depth in three lines (for the other, see dislikes). Fasolo/Harper, Polec/Woodward, and Shaw/Simpkin should offer at least one player in cover every week.

Strong midfield, if you assume that the first two players are a pile of 1mil+ in non-wasted cash. Barlow is a solid unique premo who should at least hold his average, Cotch, Beams and Daisy are underpriced for their potential, and the four cheap/rookie-priced players are guns.

Very strong backline. McVeigh and SMitch won't fall by much, Hanley, Swallow and Suckling all should improve their average and price, while Kolo, McDonald and Fuller should all play most matches imo.
Pretty good midfield too. No spud picks.
Dislikes
The ruckline for sure. HamMac is second ruck at best for the cats, Sandi is injured every second week, and Longer could be the second ruck. Some weeks early in the season this could be a 0-point scoring ruck combo, although I'll be nice and say HMac+Longer is a 130 point contribution (60+70). Needs fixing imo, even just having one of HMac and Sandi and a premo is risky imo.

Pretty good midfield, although I don't like Karnezis. He's not best 22 and when he plays he'll be the sub, would prefer the similarly-priced Dunstan or Crouch.
No real huge faults, i.e. through extreme lack of depth or spud picks.
Dislikes
Relying on at least one of Johnson, Howard and Laidler and at least one of Fasolo, Rohan and Bock to play every week early could hurt.
Not a fan of Sandi, but at least Longer is there to cover when he's injured for 15 weeks of the season.

If you're smart you'll purely build your team through the pre-season for round 2, spend the last week leading to round 1 on your special r1 team, then straight after round 1 switch straight back to your long-term team and make appropriate adjustments based on the first round. I'm rating teams based on the long term, not short. In relation, I'd like people to post their long-term teams, not short.

Unique mid-pricer picks- Buntine, Simpkin, Curren, Caddy and Clarke for example. Clarke will be a gun this season imo when Sandi gets injured. Rest are probably going to be good in the cash generation.
Pretty well structured across each major line. Howard, Polec and Banfield+Rohan should provide one player a week in cover, and all of your fielded guys should be best 22- would only worry about Buntine and Simpkin.
Dislikes
G. Ablett jnr, you know the rest...
Forward line a bit weak up the top. NRoo is old, Parker and Lecca probably won't improve that far beyond 85, and Buddy still a bit risky as he's at a new club.

Great midfield. Unique but will get the job done. Premos should hold or improve their average and are capable of going huge and get wins over sheep that pick the usual suspects, Barlow is a great pick for a cheap premo, Beams ofc is a jet pick and in every team, Savage should have a big year at his new club, and the four cheap/rookie-priced players are good.
Can't go wrong with Paul Seedsman in your backline :P one of the best pick-ups for 2014 imo, jet of a player and will only get better as he enters his third year (breakout?). Strong backline too aside from him. 5 premos can only help.
Dislikes
Weak in the ruck. Sandi is injury-prone- I wouldn't pick him to be on my starting two, and he's your number 1! Longer a bench option for most teams, but your number 2! If/when Sandi goes down and if Longer has to share ruck duties with Hickey, could be a position of hurt.
Schneider, Clark, Patton, Rohan, Markworth. Relying on three of these injury prone and/or plagued by job security issues to play every week early could hurt. Would watch the pre-season of these guys and similarly-priced players strongly.

Good depth across all lines. Each bench should provide a player in cover every week.
Structurally good. No gaping holes anywhere on the field that could cause strife, except when Sandi goes down.
Good forward line. No bad selections in your four premo/upper mid-pricers, although there's better options than Parker imo, and Lamb and Clark should boost in price healthily.
Dislikes
The ruckline- too risky for me. Nic Nat is coming off an injury-plagued season- shouldn't be that much a cause for concern, but with the walking bandaid Sandi backing him up...Longer not even guaranteed a start too, and might even score shower because of Hickey.

Lots of great uniques. Ibbo and Hibberd in a lot less teams than they should be, both still young and will most likely improve more compared to the old blokes who'll drop. Yeo at a new team will be a ripper if he's best 21. Winderlich will boost $$$ if he stays healthy. Savage will gun it this season imo and is very close to being in my team.
Money in the bank that'd I'd utilise straight away- remember these prices are 100% accurate! I'd look to upgrade the forward line, which I'll elaborate on soon.
Dislikes
Crazy forward line! After Buddy and Danger, it's chaos. 4 cheapies and 2 rookies who, although mostly good picks, mostly have huge JS and injury problems. This is where that cash comes into play. 300k can upgrade your worst field player to a premo, which I'd do with Fasolo to Cloke or Wingard (I think you can afford that).

Strong midfield, if you assume that third player is a pile of cash. Caddy very close to my side, cheap enough and with the cats clear-out I'm surprised he isn't in more teams. Strong bench too, should provide at least one if not two players of cover every week.
Seedsy great pick :D pretty good backline otherwise
Dislikes
Ablett- need not elaborate
Forward line could be a cause for concern. Two of your fielded players, Fasolo and Garlett, are not in the best 22 of their team's atm, Garlett maybe just in. This paired with Bock and Kersten (more JS problems) on the bench could hurt.

No real failure selections.
I don't think the defence is weak. Top 5 obviously all well into the best 21 when fit, one of Fuller and Howard should play every weak, if not both. But...
Dislikes
Yes, f6 could be a problem. Rohan, Bock and Kersten all have JS and/or injury issues, relying on one of them to play every week could hurt.
Swan over Watto, you sure? The 100k you save could upgrade Rohan to a good, cheap mid-pricer such as Patton, Billings, Hogan, or even Taylor Walker! I think. Watto will average about the same as Swan, maybe/probably a few points less but much better value.

Pretty weak backline. Marty Clarke- really? For my WXV's sake I hope he's best 22 and will score decent enough, but won't let him within a kilometre of my DT. Maybe if he was a bit cheaper, but at 350k...Other than that, two old blokes and an injury-prone guy for premos may hurt.

Here is my attempt to help you out
I do not see any value in your midfield at all except Beams.
Scott Pendlebury - good but not much increase
Matthew Boyd - old, injury prone.
Ryan Bastinac - why
Jack Grimes -If you have Jack Grimes, pick him as a defender. ,
Matthew de Boer - not gauranteed best 22, will not improve score from last year.
Andrew Gaff - is easily tagged out of games.
Dom Sheed - Their are cheaper player at his price.
If you replaced these players with some of these B. Deledio, J. Watson, D. Beams, M. Murphy, S. Savage, D. Thomas, V. Michie I think it will save you cash.
Michie is priced cheaper then sheed, and scored 85+ points in the wafl.
Beams, Murphy, Thomas are all under priced.
Savage played as a sub 6+ times (from memory), will gain in price.
Swap Josh J. Kennedy with Franklin, Franklin will out score Kennedy, will increase in price and may also me cheaper than Kennedy.
Liam Picken,Kade Kolodjashnij, Luke McDonald - I would keep a very close eye on these guys, I do not think they will score that well.
If you swapped these for P. Hanley and P. Seedsman, started Fuller and added a rookie you would save cash and get more points. All you would have to do is find a rookie.
Rucks are not bad, Minson will score quiet well but as he played so well last year I do not expect him to increase in price. I would consider McEvoy, Mumford or Natanui.
Some things to think about at least.
Cheers Azzas, really appreciate it!
