Any help would be great?
Ha ha. Shaboozey!
Not a bad first crack there at all.
Waters is recovering from a hamstring strain so may not be cherry ripe for Rnd 1.
Jaksch, as a KPP, is probably not the best rookie option (Terlich, Heath, Stevenson, Pittard all good replacements).
Rioli is an interesting choice. IMO there are better options out there at his price range, but if you feel confident that he will fire in 2013 then he could be a great choice. If not, then there are plenty of more 'vanilla' options around - just check the other team threads for an idea or two.

Again, nice starting team and good luck!

Jukes

Strongish structure, may have a tad weak midfield, seeing as most are going 4 premos then 2 of Embley, Ball, Fyfe etc or 5 and 1 of them. Would consider upgrading Mitchell to Embers (not Wines; imo he's in for a huge debut season in the 80s average)

I reckon Heppell is a better option than Waters. Can't see Beau increasing his average while HeppD should boost up to mid-90s. Also, if you're superstitious, this is the alternating year Waters is due to get injured (last five seasons games played: 19, 8, 21, 8, 19).

Also see better options than Jaksch; see Lewis Stevenson; should slip right into the Port line-up, played a good intra-club, has previous afl experience at West Coast, and has played in two straight WAFL premierships, including one in the WAFL all-stars.

Rioli could be a good pod. I'd carefully monitor his NAB cup form and role, however. Blokes like Sylvia, Cloke, Wright, Martin are all priced similarly and all look to go 90+.

Stevie J will comfortably average more than Franklin and Bartel. y u no go with?

Ratings
Backs: 8.1/10
Mids: 8/10
Rucks: 8/10
Forwards: 8.75/10

Overall: 8.2/10 not bad but at this stage would prefer several alternative players.

yeah nothing majorly wrong here
I'd look at getting in pittard though; he seems like the best back rookie atm in my opinion (instead of Jaksch). Failing that, go for Stevenson like Jukes said.
Like Jukes said Waters has had an interrupted preseason (and yet was named this week...?) so I'd be cautious. Why not go Broughton? He is very cheap and has a bunch of potential.
mids are fine
better options then rioli such as martin or wright ( though you have the cash to turn him into Steve J I think?)
I don't think staker will be right for round 1 either so just keep your ears open for news.
