OK, lets start with these few:
Waters - I believe a semi serious injury setback this year
Courtanay - tits on a bull (as useful as)
Hurley - a slight injury setback (I went Kite)
Rosa - there are so many better choices (if you can dig out extra cash go for Boak/Lewis/Knights, if no money - Pearce/Houli/Osborne) Only my op.
If by M. Clarke you mean Mitch Clark from the BL (and not the retired Matthew Clarke!) then just wait 5 minutes and Clark will lose a limb of some sorts. As far as injury proneness goes, he is right up there!
Your fwds look like mine, except I have Riewoldt (or Pav, havent decided yet but I like to have one of them).
Just a bit of tidying up and its all good.

thanks mcwarne appreciate your response

a few risks there I'll agree, waters & dempsey both injury prone but i think potential cash cows both - mitch clarke yeh i know but ran out of money, but I reckon rosa could surprise a few - i was looking closely at knights i rate him, already have boak he's a must i reckon and i'd like lewis but isn't he injured ?

[mcwarne]

Yeah he is but it should be only a minor delay. I had Lewis (because he scored so well the year before last) but have been put off by the injury too.
My apol, I realized after you already have Boak. He and Knights are identical in price and both are about to move into the top 10 midfielders this year I reckon (if Knights can stay soft tissue injury free). I had him for the mid part of last season and he was getting 100's every week for a while there (a better DTer than Judd in my opinion). Thats only because Judd can actually go a whole game and not register a single mark. Thats the only reason I wont pick him any more. Just as well he is not a Scotty West type handball fanatic as well or he would never score!

afl injuries web site have lewis out till round 3, not an ideal lead in to the season, but i'll be grabbing him at some stage, love the way he plays - re judd he would be my first pick this season (cox aside) this guy could be the best we've ever seen injury free - and i'm a bomber supporter sorry hirdy !!!!
