Rucks: Sanilands, Petrie (Gorringe, Bailey)

Forwards: Didak, N. Riewoldt, O'Keefe, Higgins, LeCras, Knights, A. Krakouer (J. Tippett, Tapscott, Talia)

Cash left over: $65,200

for a first try in 2011 you have a rather unique side :)
however no swan or ablett? do you have a reason for this?
id say uve got 7.5-8/10 side here, as i said its unique and could work but i guess it depends if your rookies player or not as uve got a few wildcards such as gorringe, and J.Tippett

I've gone with a rule of only four players per club because of the byes and I thought the GC would be a good source of rookies given that they are likely to play a lot of the year.  For Swan, I thought Pendles would be a better pick because he's more likely to improve given his age and is significantly cheaper than Swan.

My rookies especially aren't set yet (obviously) as aside from Collingwood I haven't really been following the preseason so far.  I'll definitely be following the NAB cup on this issue.

Ur midfield is a bit unbalanced IMO.
Maybe downgrade Judd to mid priced player then upgrade Selwood to Swan. This would give u a better captain option too.
NAB cup will give us the best insight for rookies as always

Keep an eye on Didak as he has had a limited pre-season due to injury - same for Lake

Faulks, Conca, Krakouer and Hunt and no certainties to play come round 1 (rd 2 for Hunt)

Keep an eye out on Shaw, apparently Leon has been training as a HBF so may limit Shaw's scoring

Bailey and Sandi both have the bye in round 6 - so you wanna hope that Gorringe plays (but you wont know that until after round 1 and lockout)

ROK was played as a tagger in the last half of 2010 so keep an eye on his role during NAB cup.
