Updated with new players recently signed. Also added an attempt at a squad depth chart for position they have primarily played for us or previous club. Doesn't account for versatility.
Also added in youth players who have represented club in the past but not on a scholarship.

We need a left and right back. Our two incumbents aren't exactly defensively aware.
Im gunna go so far as too say of all of Grozos's time at the Jets he played his best football for the club as a makeshift CB, Not in his usual midfield role.
I see Adelaide turned down a 2 Million dollar offer for Archie Goodwin. Not bad for a club that got him for free and put 1 years work in
We have a disputes and dissent section of the forum. You need to have this discussion over there
A poor loss to Brisbane yesterday, anyone see the game
He'd be the first since Ljubo to go into the squadron

Players deserve a home: Jets keeping watch as axe hovers over embattled club

JETS management is keeping a close eye on the situation at embattled A-League club Western United and hasn?t ruled out targeting players if the club falls over.
An appeal against a wind-up order of Western United by the Australian Tax Office over a $15 million debt will be ruled on by the Federal Court on Friday.
A separate appeal by Western United against Football Australia?s decision to strip the club of its A-League licence will be determined next Tuesday.
It seems, unless a white knight ? or several white knights ? emerge, the club will be axed from the A-League men?s and women?s competition.
Potentially 23 men?s players, headed by former Jets midfielder Angus Thurgate, and a similar number of women could enter the market.
?I?m feeling right now for Western United. It is an incredibly difficult position for them,? Jets CEO Tain Drinkwater said.
?They obviously have a strong playing roster. I will be guided by [Jets coach] Mark [Milligan]. If there are players he thinks we could accommodate in our roster. That is something the club and our ownership group would look at.?
The Newcastle Herald understands that the players? union has discussed with the Australian Professional League the possibility of increasing the $3 million salary cap and other concessions in the event Western United collapses.
Milligan, like Drinkwater, hopes Western United is not shut down.
?It is very disappointing if that is the final result. It very much looks that way at the moment,? he said.
?It?s not ideal for the players. I think it will be a discussion for a lot of clubs.
?At the end of the day, there are some very good players there. They are very good players who don?t deserve to be without a home.
?We will wait and see where that lands and what happens. I?m sure there will be discussion around that.?
As it stands, the Jets only have a couple of places available on the roster, which had been earmarked for young players.
Other clubs have up to six spots available.
The Jets lack depth at fullback and the base of midfield.
Uncertainty over Western United?s future has also delayed the release of the draws for the upcoming men?s and women?s A-League seasons.
The men?s competition starts on October 17. A draw featuring 13 teams, including Western, has been drawn up. The APL is also compiling a fixture list for 12 teams.
?I expect by the end of the week, we will have some clarity around the next steps and the timeline,? Drinkwater said. ?The APL has given us a commitment that they are working on it as a priority.
?Once a determination [on Western?s future] is made, they will quickly be in a position to inform the clubs.?
