Iles article, assuming he was there, says it was Politic and it happened whilst closing someone down. So sounds non-contact and he was in a lot of pain, never a good sign.

Absolutely devastated for the lad. Could have been a huge year for him, lets hope it's not as serious as it looks.

We'll definitely sign another, Bunney still on trial as of Monday I believe. I'd be surprised if he doesn't sign.

Good player Pringle to be fair, wouldn't have minded him, think Crawford with a bit more pace.

Without trying to sound too offensive... I always genuinely thought Noel Hunt had an extra chromosome.

I think the good think about Politic is he's versatile and seems willing to adapt, so we could see him all over the place. RWB, ST, CAM, CM and he'd offer something different in each of those roles. He'll still be an asset in a 3-5-2.

So it's some slow, shit, striker is what we're saying?

Doubt it, think Gilks will be more coach than player. There in case either young lad gets injured.

Very cryptic recently!

Thrilling conversation this gents, there's a Chiquito's as well just to really blow your mind. But was anything else let slip?

Without knowing details on our squad restrictions, I assumed it was 24 not including U21s, here's where we're at after the signings and what I reckon are areas for further signings. GK: Crellin, New Signing(NS) Gilks?, Alexander RCB: Santos, Brockbank CB: Delaney, Senior/NS LCB: Taft, Greenidge RWB: Jones, NS CM: Comley, NS CM: Sarcevic, White LWB: Gordon, NS Bunney? CAM: Crawford, Darcy ST: Doyle, NS ST: Politic, Faal

I think that's Reiss Greenidge, not Jordan.

Not for me this one, we're taking a risk on an unproven keeper to benefit another club rather than take the same risk on a player of our own.

They've built this up far too much this morning, it's definitely going to be underwhelming

If we sign Baptiste, hire Gilks and sign that poor man's Alexander on loan then it would start dulling my vibe a bit. Getting a bit Owen "jobs for the boys" Coyle about it.

Surely there's absolutely zero chance that's real...

I think Brockbank could benefit from some weight training but from what I've seen of him he's similar to Senior. Good on the ball, not afraid of a challenge and reads the game well enough. I'd like him in that RCB position especially as the plan is to get the ball down and play some football. I think as a right back it wasn't his strongest position, lacks the pace to be impactful there, I think at first he was getting Holding comparisons which was clearly optimistic but there's definitely a good ball playing defender in there. I would very much question the suggestions of attitude issues, when he was leading the young lads at the start of the season he was nothing short of exceptional attitude wise.

Senior yes, Edwards absolutely not. I think Zouma on the right of a back 3 would have been a decent option but I'm more than happy with Brockbank and a signing with a bit more experience. I've seen Rhys Bennett being rumoured.

Don't say things like that to me you tease!

I certainly hope not. I know it's likely we sign White at the end of his deal but still, Darcy and Politic are excellent prospects and more than good enough to do very well at this level. Politic in particular.

I reckon we'll be just fine without a 22 year old with no football league experience.

I just want one year of an all white kit again and I'll be happy.

I wouldn't say so, I see Darcy as more of a Crawford type in behind strikers. By all accounts, Evatt favours a 3-5-2 with one of a central 3 midfielders in a more advanced role so depth wise I'm seeing us currently looking like: GK: New Signing(NS), NS - Gilks?, Alexander RCB: Brockbank, NS CB: NS, Delaney LCB: Taft, Senior RWB: NS, NS CM: Comley, NS CM: Sarcevic, White LWB: Bunney?, NS CAM: Crawford, Darcy ST: Doyle, NS ST: Politic, Faal

You'd have to think that they'll try to limit the games behind closed doors at this level to an absolute minimum. Clubs can't survive putting on those games without the match day revenue for very long at all. I'd suggest putting regulations in place at first with socially distanced seating and only groups of households allowed to sit together and maybe even the requirement of masks being worn.

Excellent stuff! Now let's just hope we can actually be there to watch it.
