A very unique team. Brad Ebert, Trent West, Luke Breust and  Alan Christensen are very bold choices. Same with Urquhart. Your team is well balanced though with an even amount of prems in each position.

[Ringo]

Sound unique Team -

A couple of suggestions - You have no DPP Links in mids if you want the flexibility. If you wish to go this way consider Rookies with DPP when finalising your team. May also save trades during byes.

Also bear in mind that Brad Dick is only rookie listed at this stage so may not get early games.

interesting team mate, id give it a 7.5/10 but it could be much better if those uniques pull off, well done mate :) and yeah as ringo said, im not sure many of you know but this is off the afl website on west coasts pre season report done just last week for all those who have selected brad dick in their sides:

Medical Room:
Rookie recruit Brad Dick will be sidelined early in 2012 as he continues to recover from a knee reconstruction.

[Footyrulz]

Unique team with some good picks. Christensn, west and bruest could be real bargains.

A few players that wont play though. Dick is injurred, uruhart wasnt even wanted by kangas and ellis wont play much

[meow meow]

Ellis won't play much? What a silly thing to say.

Drummond? haha some people never learn!

Backs and Mids OK
Rucks - Very weak here Stephenson as second ruck will backfire badly as West will be No 1 at cats.
Forwards: Would prefer Porplyza to Moore at similar prices =,

With negative cash I would start again first looking at set and forget rucks then look at the rest of team structuring as you see fit.

Being Harsh with 5/10 rating but that ruck combo will cause problems.

[cozza123]

to be honest its very hard to give someone a 5/10 when there have Ablett, Swan, Murphy, Barlow, Goddard, Scotland, Shaw, Deledio, Cox, Franklin, Fyfe, Martin and J.Brown.

[Footyrulz]

Good team but a few worries.

U need some MPP s in midfield.

Porplizia is better than moore.

Rucks are the big problem though. Get derickx out for mabye west or maric as a cheaper option. Downgrade some ofyour bargains mabye.

[Ringo]

If you had slightly stronger rucks would have been 8/10. Just highlighting what I perceive as a real weakness in the team which will be costly through out season.

[Knowall]

Scotland is on the decline mark my words he wont be good value.
Lake and clarke are risks in your starting team
Same could be said for Brown
Not sure if Koby Stevens will play enough
Yes Porplyzia over Moore, although Moore isnt that bad of pick but Porplyzia is a more safer bet with a more proven record
Personally wouldnt have Cox witht the emergency of NicNat, Cox will get rested at various points in the season
I agree on not starting Stephenson, Id more likely start Giles as hed be no. 1 ruck but even thats a huge risk

Overall 7/10

[upthemaidens]

if ya going for the cheaper ruck option, you should really try for a 5th premium mid.
  other than that it seems like a decent enough team
