We have lost Nabbout and that's about it. Riley scored a great goal but didn't do much else. Pato was a decent player but never got fit and never hit full form.

So we have lost one key cog, and we have 5 spots available to replace him and the others. We have some stability and know what we need to fill the holes in our roster rather than starting with 6 new players and trying to make things gel quickly. I'm not putting money on us to win, but there's nothing to say we wouldn't be able to challenge with 2 good signings and some decent filler.



City won't win no matter who they sign. They don't even care if they win, the club is built for another purpose now.

Victory have signed big names but have also lost big names. There will be a settling in period and they may not all work out.

Sydney are in the same boat as Victory but also lost a coach.

Wanderers are starting again.

Perth have signed 46 new players.

The rest didn't have as good a squad as us last year.

Get positive.
