Hopefully some of the twenty or so American University players back here now that have been overlooked.
Who are you thinking of?
I recall Des looked at many from the College system, had players like Alex Grieve in camp, Billy Jones who made it, Dylan de Jong , Dane Schnell, Hunter Ashworth and of course Joe Bell. Troy Tapsel was due in camp but got injured. These are off the top of my head. Boyd Currie too I think I recall and Jackson Brady, Seth Clarke and of course Noah Billingsley.
I think the logistics made it hard and some came back from the USA to play national league to get a better chance, de Jong and Schnell were two of those and Woolridge maybe too.
I think the 20s and 23s did themselves and the coaching staff proud, and were a delight to watch IMHO .
