Kinnibari Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 I think previous seasons were also boring, we just had more hope that we would eventually sign someone good and that carried us through. But we've traditionally been very slow to sign players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't offer enough and are waiting the last minute left overs? Are we so much dependent on other developments with in the group? I struggle to see the real benefit of getting the team together so late. Edited July 13, 2017 by Mr MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it players who don't want to play for us? We can't offer enough and are waiting last minute to take left overs? Are we much dependent on other development with in the group? I struggle to see the real benefit of getting the team together late. IMO its the opposite. We have a bigger range and influence due to our scouts and CFG label and as such we hold out to get the best player possible, whereas some of the other clubs are content to sign the first name on their shortlist that says ok. In saying that, most clubs havent signed anybody major yet. Only WSW, CCM and Newy have been active, the other clubs, including us, have mostly only signed players around the fringes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 In my view a big reason the signings seem slow this year is that for once we haven't punted 75% of the squad (which then led to the coach spending half the season talking about jelling). In short it's actually a positive. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted July 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 2 hours ago, Dylan said: we are 3 weeks into a 4 month pre season FFS I don't agree. As far as I'm concerned our "pre-season" for 2017-18 started the day after we wimped out of the finals series 0-2 to Perth, i.e. 24th April. But I wasn't referring only to on-field matters, signings, coaching changes etc. It's probably just a reflection of my overall mood about the club, but nothing since our finals exit has really given me that "wow!" feeling. Not yet. Our first competitive match for 2017-18 is in only two weeks time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he manages to go into the season as first choice then that can only benefit the rest of the League.
