It's a pretty interesting team. I love the way you took risks (but not in a moronic way like some people), but you did want criticism so I'll give it to you.

Defence: honestly, I still feel that at his age Scotland is over priced. Even with his injury concern I would be preferring Lids, only one way and that's down. Personal preference, but I'm sure you've looked over that already. Duffield is a ballsy choice, but could be amazing if freos defenders turn out anything like the saints used to be. Apart from that, it's solid. Obviously wait to see if like spurr gets promoted etc.
Mids: well, I rate 3/4 of your top tier players. Can't justify dodging barlow at that price, as Swan is the greatest DTer ever and GAJ isn't far behind. Judd however... not a DTer and I doubt he ever will be. I would just fork out the extra cash for thompson or selwood to be honest. Solid enough rookie picks, just wait for NAB and who's named round one.
rucks: really conventional here with set and forget. Giles + Stephensen will probably end up being in the top 10 picked players, if not top 5. Cox and Sandi... it's odd to say this, but could be a bit unique amongst some of the better teams. That being said, it's not for me. Both are getting on, sandi is injury prone, and I am loath to pick a 30+ player coming off a fantasy best season (see scotland comment)
forwards: This is where I think you flop out a little. Petrie, while being unique, I doubt will be a premium player. And with his injury history, yo-yo scoring ability, at his price isn't worth the punt. Zaha I don't feel this season either, forwards rarely have b2b break out years, and he's had a bit of an interrupted pre-season. Goodes, always starts slower than he finishes,. WHile he has an easy start draw, they're against teams he averages poorly against- I can see him chopping up vs GWS and GC, but apart from that it'll probably  be a bit dicey. Some people are writing off Martins season start due to his tough draw, but personally I think it'll be fine for a player of his class- yes he's averaged less than brilliant vs those teams before, but hey he's only played two seasons. Nick Riewoldt is really a 50/50 for me. I can't fit him in, and subsequently hope he doesn't fire, but I  can really see him pulling back to 100 ppg average with a decent pre-season. Monitor him.

Solid enough rookie choices, although I would probably rethink your bench. Unless you just have rowe to swap in once giles/ stephensen have maxed out for cover?

thanks buddy!
Judd, is my unique, i didn't play last year, but the year before he performed well for me. I'm not to sure if it will plan out or not, ill rethink about it about NAB cup.
Yeah my forwards are my worst part for sure, but I'm trying to not miss out to much on my byes. ill have to really have a good look before i finalize my premiums.

What do you mean is wrong with my bench ?
Im aware that rowe can be traded in for a ruck but, I believe giles and stephensen will do fine if one of the older fellas is injured. Rowe should play and will hopefully do well. thats why i kept him in my foward rookies.
