1. Do all 7 forwards score? do the two reserve forwards score count? same with backmen and mid f's?
All players on the field score. The reserves only score if one of your players does not play.

2. Do both ruckman scores count?

Yes.

3. So you can interchange your reserve with a player in the side after any round?

Yes.

4. Is the total worked out by adding the 7 forwards, 7 mids, 2 ruck and 7 backs score together?

Yes. Don't forget to select a Captain, he scores double.

5. Its not good to make many trades early in the first few rounds?

Avoid it if you can.

6. The cheap players on the bench that you have never heard of, do they come in use much?

The cheaper players make the difference between having a good side and a great one. For example, guys like Dustin Martin and Jackson Trengove are expected to play a lot of games. The value of the cheaper players will rise if they get lots of games. You can then trade up to a proven performer who might have dropped in price for any reason.
