That's a good start, 17 players, like I said, we need 5-7 more players. That could be done in 15 months, should we draft well and pick up a couple of good players via FA.
Yes we got pumped last night, but only by 6-7 more goals than Sydney did at home, and we have a lot more injuries, and a piss poor backwards gameplan.
Carrots the players you mention as our base have so many question marks over them.
Some of them show potential but also limitations or faults with their games that needed to be eradicated.
You haven't got a base unless it's a proven one...and the only players that fit that would be Gibbs, Murphy (and even with those two there are doubters), Kreuzer (if he can stay fit), Cripps (has shown enough) and perhaps Docherty.
Folk look at a player and think he's going to be a gun...when what they should be thinking is he could be a gun... I hope he continues to develop.
The Irish guys showed glimpses in their games and they're suddenly the future. ???
We have to get them back on the park first.
