So looks like we're going to have pretty much the same team as last year with Kosta and a new foreign centre back. Did anyone watch us play this year?
The big difference between the Nix and every other team this year is that we haven't beaten CCM or the Jets. Which is pretty bizarre really as I do think they are the weakest teams in the league by a long way.
If we had an 8 team league (i.e. all the results vs CCM and Jets were removed) the table would look like this. Nix are 5th with a game in-hand, potentially third as they would be favorites to beat Perth who sit two points below in the table.
| Team | Played | Win | Draw | Loss | Points |
| BRI | 18 | 9 | 3 | 6 | 30 |
| ADL | 18 | 8 | 4 | 6 | 28 |
| WSW | 18 | 7 | 5 | 6 | 26 |
| MCY | 17 | 7 | 5 | 5 | 26 |
| WEL | 17 | 7 | 3 | 7 | 24 |
| PER | 18 | 6 | 4 | 8 | 22 |
| MVC | 18 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 21 |
| SYD | 18 | 2 | 9 | 7 | 15 |
I'd take from that table the Nix are competitive, and wholesale changes aren't needed. They just need to step it up against poorer opposition.
