Hearing Azzurri will be much stronger in firsts and 20s

They shouldbe after signing half of Hamilton's starting 11 plus Ljubo

[Texas Ranger]

But first graders aren't going to hang around to play 20s, and good 20s and 18s aren't hanging around knowing they won't get a look in for 1sts. I'll be surprised if Azzuri 20s are any good.

Agree
I would seriously doubt that Azzurri U20’s would have attracted any promising 18-19 year olds to the club, why would you go there
So left with a couple of fringe 20’s from last year, that weren’t good enough last year, so hard to imagine they will be this year

or some of last years U18’s who went alright so maybe some to work with there

But I do believe any young player looking to progress would have moved clubs, will be impossible to move any of the big name big dollar signing on

[winner]

Some player movement this week
Marcus Duncan from Maitland to Melbourne
Dino Faj from Magic to Southy
Daniel Minors from Magic to Lakes
Johnny Maj to Magic

Lets wait to see how CCB can keep under the PPS.
Come February we might be seeing 3 or 4 of their new signings be released to fit under the 180 points.

Lakes lost Archbood and advertising for keeper. Great opportunity for a fringe player

Only a fail for the kids that have to pay rego in 2019.

No team stands out as bolters... will be a tough comp... quality is leveling... no rumours yet of ex a-league player signings yet?
