Looks good generally.
My main concerns are relatively minor & could just be a matter of opinion/choice.
Sandilands & durability - are you hoping to keep him for the whole year? If he misses games early, its difficult to replace him with another decent scoring ruckmen for his price.
Bye rounds - lots of premiums with round 8 bye (Ade, Col, Gee, GCS, Nth, Ric), so Ablett, Pendlebury, Beams, Dangerfield, Martin, Caddy all missing in round 8 ... could be a concern, but rookies & trades could still leave you with 18 playing in that round.
Mid Rookies - Based on NAB form, I'd be inclined to swap your bench rookies for those you have on the field - Polec & Ellis both impressive so far this year.

What is your round 1 side looking like?

I'd be pretty happy with that starting lineup.  Only critisicm doesn't really matter coz its guys I don't necessarily trust.

Lobbe, Hanley and Parker are guys are don't trust at this stage...Lobbe finished strongly last year, doesn't mean shower this year, Hanley, want to see how he handles a tag this year and will upgrade if he does it well, Parker will be good but not sure with such a strong bunch of mid types at the Swans whether he will have the odd low score or not.
