First SC Squad for 2012

First draft of my team for 2012. Play in a highly competitive private league for good $$ so my initial side is as much tilted toward winning that as it is the whole thing.

Feedback will be appreciated.

S.Docherty, B.Smedts

Mids:
G.Ablett, D.Swan, M.Murphy, T.Sheridan, C.Smith, T.Mitchell
J.McDonald, D.Buckley

Rucks:
S.Mumford, M.Leuenberger
O.Stephensen, J.Staley

Fwds:
L.Franklin, N.Fyfe, D.Martin, N.Riewoldt, J.Brown, A.Saad, L.Casboult
T.Couch, C.Dell'Olio

Cheers

Pies Brown doesn't have much scoring potential IMO, and maybe battling for a spot against Taz. Can't say I'm a fan of Gibson either. Probably too many risks and rookies in that team for me :)

Backs: Would only play one of Brown or Lake wuth both coming back from injury lay offs.  Not worth the risk to have both imo.
Mids: This where the scoring is maximised and just personal I prefer to go with 4 prems either 4 super or 3 super and 1 mid priced. Big risk going with three rookies in mids but may work for you.
Rucks: OK maybe consider Giles as bench but most teams will have Stephenon and Giles as Bench.
Forwards: Would only play one of Brown or Riewoldt. 

As with all comments at this stage regarding rookies watch during pre-season and then those named for Round 1. There are a couple of rookies in your team that i do not  know a lot about eg Dell'Olio

think there are better options than  gibson and N.brown, so would look at changing them.
  any reason why u dont have giles on your ruck bench? seems like a good cash cow and/or back-up ruckman
