I'm a big fan of Seedsy so sad to see him out, but a better team generally imo. HMac and Sandi out adds a lot more stability, Big Boy and Mummy should have good seasons. Backline completely revamped, I like the new one. One less oldie, Hanley and Birchall have room to and should improve.

Likes
Strong ruck line- two good players almost certain to boost their average, with a promising youngster on the bench in Longer.
Well structured- good cover on all lines. Fuller, Beams+Polec, Longer and Bock+Markworth should offer at least a player of cover every week.
Forward line is nice too. Confirmed solid points in the first three, then three good players who are underpriced, and a solid bench.

Dislikes
No bombers players- did a double take. Best dt team for 2014 :P

Believe me, in the time between now and round 1 half of the afl will go in and out of your team :P

Stants and Chappy :D
Strong midfield overall, although the bench players aren't that great- your D7 and D8 are my D9 and D10, and I've only got 5 premos. I'm on the fence RE: Cotch vs Murph, I like both but only room for one, will be decided later.

Dislikes
Weak ruck stock. Longer is the bench ruck for many teams, including my own. If he is beaten comprehensively by Hickey in the competition for the #1 and Nic Nat goes down again, you'll be in trouble unless Currie and Derickx magically find themselves a best 22 spot.
Relying on two of Fasolo (JS), Rohan (injury and JS), Bock (injury and JS) and Kersten (JS) to play every week early could hurt.

Stants :D GOAT pick
Good forward line. Danger and Dusty are class, Wingard is alright, Buddy is a great pick even though everybody has him, and Higgins and Clark are very underpriced for their potential score. Bench players good.
Strong ruck stock. Nic Nat and Big Boy are underpriced as should both appreciate in value and offer solid scoring, Longer back-up is a nice addition.
Pretty well rounded- good structure. All four positions have at least one good cover player.

Dislikes
For once, very little! No extreme spud picks or wholes in the team.

Docherty is a great pick imo. Very talented and at 270k he's got a lot of money to gain.
Strong ruck stock. Big Boy is the best premo ruck for 2014 imo, Mummy is right up there, and Longer is great cover, even if he is the second choice ruck behind Hickey.
Strong midfield premiums, although Pendles and Jelwood won't be upping their average that much.

Dislikes
Depth problems. Relying on one of Fuller, Laidler and Howard and one of Rohan, Bock and Kersten could be troublesome early due to injury and JS problems, and require reallocation of trades or maybe even donuts.

Chappy :)
If you assume the first man listed (will continue later) is a 620k pile of cash, it's a strong midfield. Rocky, Watto, Cotch and Beams are all good picks and are in my side, while two of Tyson, Beams, Garlett and Polec should contribute handy points each week early, in addition to adding cash.
Zorko is also a good forward line pick. Not in many teams after burning many in 2013, but third year breakout and another pre-season should see him at least increase his average at least by 10 points, maybe even 20-25?

Dislikes
Ablett, big waste of big money
Defensive and forward depth issues could be a cause for concern- relying on one of Giles, Fuller and Battersby and one of Fasolo, Bock and Rohan to play every week could be troublesome early. This problem will likely fix itself as round one draws closer, however.

Hey Jukes i would love to hear your opinions on this team! ATM i am not too sure about Lecras but he has plenty of upside should average close to 90, having both Ellis and Thomas could pay off if they both fire early but at worst they average 85 and see a price increase.

Brandon Ellis, great pick. If I could fit him in I would. Not only is he very underpriced due to his green and red vests, has a third-year breakout looming. Generally strong midfield, assuming that is a 600k+ pile of money at the start.
Good backline. McVeigh and SMitch should hold their average, or not fall too much, Simpson, Grimes and Suckling should increase in price, while the set of McDonald, Fuller and Howard should at least provide one player a week.

Neutral
Mark LeCras. Not a bad pick as he should retain or slightly increase his 2013 average, but won't increase that much and there are better options around his price range. Parker, Sylvia, Wingard and Chappy are in a similar price range and would get a gig in my team over Lecca.

Dislikes
From my last review an hour ago,

Ablett, big waste of big money

The ruck stock is shaky. Derickx and Currie are far from guarenteed any game time, Nic Nat is coming off a very injury plagued 2013 (although should be fine. should), and Sandi is worse than Shaun Higgins at staying fit. Would like Longer as back-up over the current two.

Ratings
D: 8.75/10
M: 9/10
R: 7/10
F: 8.5/10
Overall: 8.3/10 pretty standard team apart from Ellis.
