i think the finkler signing makes sense simply because once he settles he should be better than any of the other attacking midfielders. i think mcglinchey further back is good and ditto roly

in terms of personnel i'd say we're weak at full back and defensive midfield

but our real problem is our tactics. narrow and predictable. we must be so easy to defend against. keep the back four close and deep and plonk a holding midfielder in front to stifle finkler and we're toast

opposition full backs can stay narrow because we do not cross the ball

Having good quality fullbacks would have given us that wide option.

That's exactly where for example Perth and even Victory seem to do well.
