Why do people think that if the Nix had picked Ramon (assuming correct badges yadda yadda yadda) that he would have been the great redeemer for bringing young kiwis through? Unless I'm seriously missing something ACFC have largely been import stacked for years?
Note - I still think he's a good coach and wouldn't have been at all disappointed if he had the correct badges and had picked up the gig.
We don't, but I think you'd say he knows the local scene much better than a coach who will never have watched a match in our league and is going to be much more familiar with Australian players
This. Ramon couldn't stack the squad with imports, so would have likely been more comfortable picking up kiwis rather than players from the Sydney local leagues.
I expect Rudan to sign the likes of Panny Nikas.
