Unique backline! Cannon, Grimes, Gilbert and Howard are in minimal teams, and Seedsy isn't exactly the most popular back despite being a flowering superstar.
Pretty strong midfield too. No spud picks in either premo or rooks/cheapies.

Dislikes
Not a fan of that forward line- wouldn't want to be relying on 1 of Schneider, Michie and Fasolo to play every week, and then there's injuries...
Too many unique risk picks could hurt you if too many go wrong.

I'd probably prefer something like Buddy and NicNat but good thinking.

Strong midfield, if I assume Ablett is just a midfielder worth 114ppg
Pretty nice backline too
Can't really fault any of your player selections, except...(see dislikes section)
Nice team name :P

Dislikes
Ablett- need not elaborate
Not the strongest fan of Sandilands, as I've previously explored
Not enough uniques! Even Chappy is becoming a common sight after I put him in :P
Chapman, Pavlich and Michie all had injury-plagued 2013 seasons, and Kersten didn't play a game. They're all good selections imo, especially Chappy, but if they all go down again it could spell a tough few weeks for your forward line. Wouldn't go making hasty adjustments with it for now, but just food for thought. Not really a dislike either.

OUT: Waters, Howard, Cotchin, C. Beams, Crouch, McDonald, Sandilands, Longer, Pavlich, Chapman, Lennon

Likes
Got rid of a few injury-prone guys in Waters, Howard, Beams, Sandi and Pav
Much better ruck-line, even if Ham is still in there.

Dislikes
LeCras over Chapman? Chappy will average more for almost 100k less.

Overall it's probably a better team than before, Chappy over LeCras a necessary undo imo.

LeCras over Chapman? Chappy will average more for almost 100k less.

Really!? Chappy and Lecras will both push 90 a average this year, even though chappy is 100K less he won't play every game this season and with west coasts early draw Lecca should start on fire! Plus, if Chappy doesn't pay off, he would have a unique that could give him an edge in head2head matches.
Having said that you would only choose Lecca over Chapman if you believe Chapman will get injured, struggle to get games or won't score as proficiently as in the past.

I see no reasons for LeCras to push 90. His career high average is 86, and he's 27. Won't get much better unless JJK and Darling give him all the goals. No chance- may likely go down.

My thoughts are that he played the year with his arm in his cast it affected his kicking at goal, that West Coast should have a better year this year, that he has the potential to play in the midfield and that the eagles have an easy draw early on. And he's unique.

In 2010 he had no arm in a cast and kicked 60+ goals without much input from JJK and JD yet only averaged 76.

He's been playing as more of a midfielder anyway. However, I reckon I'm going to go with Chappy for 100k less. Thanks for your input :)

Likes
Very strong forward line, even with a couple injury prone guys in Higgins and Clark (who are great unique buys btw). Only fault I can see is Jesse Hogan not getting enough game time for you :P
Very strong backline too- especially considering the depth offered by having Howard and JKolo on the bench.
Good choices for your first two rucks, assuming Longer is the #1 ruck at the Saints. The price of Sandi and HamMac without the injury worries.

Dislikes
Another person going with LeCras over Chappy- really?
Only four premo mids could hurt. Although the cheap and rookie-priced mids have a lot of guns, mid premos can generate a lot of points.
No Jack Martin?!?!?!? Kid is a future Brownlow medallist and fantasy superstar!
Ellard and Ellis taking up a lot of $$$ on your bench for two guys not even confirmed to be best 22. JMart is much cheaper and incredibly better.

Ratings
D: 9.4/10
M: 7/10
R: 8/10
F: 9.4/10
Overall: 8.35/10 strong team in terms of depth, but the lacking midfield could hurt, and you're missing the second best DT pick of 2014 (behind Hogan)!
