Absolutely happy with this line up (hopefully with O'Shea). Good mixture of local youth and experience.

Very early season call - this will get us finals football in June/July, in a weakened league.

I'm not over roared with the squad. 

Am still hopeful of some real class signings.

Given we’re at 19 players I recon it’s a couple more visa players plus one low cost Aussie at best. 

Not necessarily the greatest squad but in the current climate okay - but quite a way off City’s imo. 

Without another striker being signed it will at least give Dylan a much needed extended run in the starting XI which should a answer the “is he, isn’t he” question once and for all

I don't have that pre season buzz like last year about the squad we currently have. I hope we sign some players soon but it's looking like another tough season ahead. Would love to see a big name signing to get the crowds to games but we've never been that type of club. Kind of frustrating as i think we're definitely capable of getting 15-20k crowds with big names and results going our way.

I am a bit like this with the pre-season buzz too.

Admittedly, we were facing a new celebrity coach and mostly new team last season with a run of pre-season games to build interest - and coming off the back of a very bad season we all had an interest in improvement.

I am looking forward to the back to back women's and men's teams playing at Dolphin early in December. No doubt that will generate some feeling about the season starting soon.

When I wear their colours, I am the club.

Yup, it’s an odd “pre-season” but Covid has changed many things. 

I’d like to see those visa slots filled with a couple of decent foreigners, not fussed on big names and another Gillesphey, Aldred or O’Shea will do nicely thanks.

be interesting to see how many games are played at Dolphin (some, most, all?) and the cost of memberships - financially it’s tight for a majority at the moment so cost will be a big factor.

I agree.  The effects of the reduced salary cap should be interesting to see. 

A manager's tactical abilities will be more apparent.
A club's development of youth will be more apparent
I think clubs will think twice about the 4th and 5th foreign spot - there won't be too much left in the cap to get much value, so may focus on some more youth and ensure that quality of 1st, 2nd and 3rd foreigners are much better.

He’s withdrawn from Twitter ... pretty sure it’s related to the stink Fowler got himself in to pre-Covid.
