I like the fact that you are not following the pack and have a few unique options there however:

Cox and Minson is too stacked - downgrade one of them to Sandilands and upgrade a def rookie to McDonald and Crameri to Buddy/Parker/Mitchell/Pav/Gunston etc

Like the Zaha pick as could pay off big time

Wouldn't go with Daniher personally but I can see why you have

I think it's good to see a team with a couple of gun rucks as I am expecting most of my opponents to be fielding Sandi although it has left your forwards quite weak maybe another ruck about 100K cheaper like Mumford , Ryder , Pyke , Lobbe and stick the money plus what you have over into another quality forward

I like how unique your team is! refreshing!

My opinion:
Backs: I like it! I would change a couple of the rookies around but you can make a better decision after NAB
Mids:umm id prefer beams as M5... which would mean a zaha upgrade... depends how much you want him I guess
Rucks:solid set and forget which is good... potentially downgrade one to a lobbe or similar value to get some $$... I wont suggest sandi because you obviously don't want to have to worry about a ruck trade which sandi is a risk... but very cheap!!
Fwd: I don't like it but that's because I don't know about crameri and daniher... if you think they will go well then stick with it... I personally am not interested in them.

Final comment: Looks good... Looks Original!... just weigh up the risk of some potential poor performers.

Thanks guys i will do a final team after nab wanna stick with daniher cause i think he will play most of the year and get better as he goes and im taking a risk on crameri if he does ok injury wise i think he will be a good pick and rucks i will probably change just before round 1 thanks for the input guys and im keeping zaka this is gonna be his best year by far

I wish I had the courage to pick Zaka! he's my favourite player in the AFL and cranks out some epic scores... I'm about 50/50 on him to really break out this year and crank them consistently. Good luck with it.

Like the daniher pick, i'm giving him a try also.

Think Cox is starting to wind back a bit with nicnat taking more of the ruck duties than in the past, its a lot to spend in the rucks in a year where there are quite a few good speculative options in the ruck (hmac, longer/hickey, sandi, mumford). Keep Minson though as he's sure to be top 4 season end.

Crameri... :P
