Your team is fine.
Picking so many basement priced players is risky though; if they get injured or dropped before they have risen in price much you may need to fork out some cash to upgrade to a playing rookie. For example, Polec and O'Rourke get the green vest in rounds 1 and 2 before getting dropped or injured and you need to trade them out, however the only playing rookies are C. Beams, Michie, Tyson, Sheed, Aish etc.
To turn Polec+O'Rourke into a Beams or Tyson you need 50/60 grand or so each which is a lot of money to fork out just to get a rookie who is playing. Now sure, Polec and Ellis and O'Rourke could avoid the vests and play the first 10 rounds and make a truckload of money and you will be laughing, but if they don't it might not be easy to do a straight swap to a rookie who is playing. I will be going for mainly premium rookies I think like KK, McDonald, Dunstan, Tyson, Michie, Beams etc unless Ellis/O'Rourke/Polec show something special in the NAB. If something happens to a 'premium rookie' early it should be easier to find a replacement.

You might comfortable going in with multiple 135k players and to using the cash elsewhere, but personally I think I will fork out a bit more for my rookies.
