Are we still missing a quality striker? All the pressure will be on Swibel.
Yes and no.. id be more worried if we had a quality striker and no one to create chances for him, we now have the opposite, chances will be creat3d and if he is a half decent striker he will score enough goals hoepfully to be a success... still have enough there to rotate options i think.... would prefer a bigger impact striker

That's my thinking as well. Defence and midfield should be OK.

Its the attacking third that has me still concerned. Players like Bonada and Uchida will give you 3-5 goals each, and that is very handy. But you need a bloke who will bang in 10-15 goals a year upfront. Is Swibel that player given he' hasn't done much over the last 2 years?

Isnt Cocks a striker? Or am I misremembering ?
 
Winger who you can play up front but is better on the wing
Then we ARE in trouble with only a single #9 who is in a bit of form slump - barely touched the ball against us in the final but to be fair Marconi really didn't get out of the midfield much.

Hope we have another one on the way. Maybe Horsey Jnr can be made into a forward :)

I am hoping he is but i have my doubts! Marconi not a true reflection of him either though as others also pointed out...
 
Nice to have a player called Che on the squad .. that will piss of those pesky Croats... hahahahah

But more importantly is this the new Oceania jersey style, number on the front and competition logo on the sleeve.

Looks great.

Looks like we are retaining our Australian Championship playing strip for the 2026 season.
