Kaltak, Roux, Steele & Theoharus the only ones left from the 22/23 Grand Final squad. 

[Edit: Chuck in Di Pizio and that might be all that is left of their 22/23 Grand Final winning squad]

Nisbet and Farrell have to be the biggest losses there. Every rebuild of late they've had Nisbet, I wonder if they'll be anywhere close to what they were last season now.

Alot like the Nix, they will rely on Academy talent hopefully stepping up quickly, and then recruiting new influential visa players. Their visa recruitment has been top notch the last few seasons, and also Nix like they seem to have a stable quality coaching setup.

Very early days but wouldn't surprise if top 6 is VUC, Sydney, Mariners, Nix & Auckland - with either Melb City or WSW.

2nd feels low for a club with so much funding compared to the rest of the league?

The City Football Schools program starts them young (age 5-14), so bit earlier than say most kids would join the Weenix Academy. No ideal how long it's been operating but if it was any less than say 6 years, you would only expect the first crop to be coming through now.

They love themselves a Brazilian the Mariners. And it's been a very successful strategy. Nix should find out what agent(s) they are using.

Our former player and still "Legend", Daniel is an Agent. Perhaps Domey might wish to get him to source some decent players???

Interesting. It's usually the other way around (A-league players getting signed by Euro clubs but left with their parent club for a season).
Good to see things are changing up.

It feels kinda dodgy, guess we wait and see if he ever shows up in the ALM.

Adelaide just recently got in a new Dutch director of football. Probably has to do with his influence and connections.

At face value it looks a pretty good barometer of the league's financial state. Victory love a flashy forward: Toivonen, Gestede, Nani, Honda, etc. This bloke looks decidedly ordinary, but mind you so did Zawada

Victory didn't adjust to covid and then were hit hard by the death of Biasin , they we're told they were unlikely to stay solvent even before the issues with their fan base attacking rival players with a bucket and the drop in the apl money, so likely things are hard.

They've probably taken a harder financial hit than most a league sides (relative to their normal budgets, I'm sure they still spend more than us)

They had to take cash from 777 Partners & they are starting to look like that mob that offered Terry S a loan to save his empire.

 Dunno if he'd tick Chief's boxes, but we could do far worse.

The way Oli played out from the back for the Glory last season, I don't know about that.
