Well we are well and truly stocked in the forward line then. No more relying on Robbie Kurse although what's the bet now he isn't guaranteed a start he suddenly becomes injury free.

I wonder who starts out of Daggers and the new bloke unless Poppa goes for two CFs.

Anyone got an idea of how many games we've got lined up between now and R1?

I'm assuming some of the recruiting is to cover losing Socceroos players.

I thought A League was taking a break for international rounds this season?

Oh I don't think I read that anywhere. At least we've got a bit of depth at least then. Making a sub even a goal down before was effectively resigning. Now hopefully we can find winners from the bench.

Definitely. I posted a second XI before, it looks pretty impressive and not that far off the sides we were fielding last season at times!!

If our social media person was employed last season they would have pipped Kruse for the Victory medal for sure.

Does anyone think Daggers & Mariotta seems a bit of overkill? Unless we are going with 2 up front which I doubt we will be.

Based on his past history in the league, D'agostino isnt good enough to be relied upon as a regular starter.
He's a good depth option at best.

Maybe Poppa is going to play a 5-3-2?
