If we hadn't scored that last gasp winner last night I think the conversation on this thread would be quite different. I thought our overall performance wasn't great and not really top 6 quality against bottom placed 10 man Perth. We are going to be really up against it from here on in.
I agree play the acadamy kids, they deserve the opportunity. But the games are going to come so thick and fast between now and the end of the season. We could do with a bit more depth / cover. basically Hooper, Rufer, Lewis out for the season Sotirio out for the next 6 or 7 games. Laws the next 3 or 4. Piscopo who knows. And what other injuries / fatigue can we expect with such a tough schedule.
Be very interesting to see what Uffie does. We had a pretty skinny squad to start with.

Exactly. There is a heap of ex Academy playing this season for the Nix.
But the first choice CM pair are now likely gone for the season. Manuel has played 12 mins of first team football. I think he is 18?? Huge ask for him to start some games in that CM role, as yes the matches come thick and fast.
He may just not be ready, and if anything his development could be harmed. So yes look around for an older experienced player as an IR. Nothing wrong with that
