Agree. If we had Monty that squad wins it again

Whoa now. Let's not get ahead of it. Lost lots of pieces that helped. Defs finals bound.

 

[Tevor]

That squad lets in 4 goals a game at the moment, I guess our only 3 was the Aust Cup. Very leaky and a huge concern. Means we have to score 5 to win.

So we'll play entertaining football. Better than 1-0 bores

No way, that’s the English cricket teams mentality with ‘bazball’ “oh well, we’ll throw the kitchen sink at it and we’ll lose heaps but at least it’s entertaining, right?”

Literally how Monty set the team up. Attack attack attack

Ange ball is about scoring more than the opposition.
And 3 points is better than 1

Yeah I don’t think anyone is against the attacking philosophy however, defending is still so important.

Danny, Fazz, Kaltak, Storm, Nizzy, Maxi... 6 of 7 starting players with the most defensive responsibilities where here last season keeping clean sheets

 

[Corsair]

Visa players:
Torres
Doka
Tulio
Kaltak
Roux

Is that right or does Storm not count as a visa?

Storm doesn’t count, has an Aussie passport

Storm doesn’t count, has an Aussie passport

So we didn't even fill all our Visa spots, guessing we spent a fortune on retaining Tulio.

No harm in keeping one up our sleeve especially with the coaching change. And generally I’d rather 3-4 visa players that are quality than getting 5 that are ok.

 

[Kripple]

Plus they have brought in Doka, Smith and Paull who can play in the back 4.

Our visa spots weren’t full until mcgarry came in last season.

Well, one goal sheets at any rate while we scored two or more. I remember the stat about some substantial drought on clean sheets being brought out several times during the season.

Heard a podcast with McBreen yesterday saying he's mates with Moon and Moon confirmed with him that he's not applied and not been approached

38 to go then…

 

[Wombat]

The squad is decent. The only question would be a starting 11 quality CB. But we have Hall, Windust, Storm, Farrell, Paull and some kids that they obviously feel can fill that spot.

Any news on a Goalkeeper coach?

This is my starting 11.


1. Vuko

Doka. Roux/Hall/Paull. Kaltak. Farrell.


Theo. Maxy . Nizzy . Angel.


Kuol . Tulio.

I don't think Hall (form/game reading) or Theo (fitness) are starting quality. I'll have my eye on Hally in particular if they start him. I'm hoping he's had a great preseason and is back to his best, otherwise I see a lot of pine in his future.

Paull might get the starting spot, or Faz with Smith at LB. That'd probably be my preferred option.

The CB question is probably the biggest problem in the squad.

Paull was brilliant in the Australia cup match, he’d be my first choice for the LCB spot next to Kaltak
