Dura has been a fine servant of the club.
But in football terms he is getting on. The A league as a whole seems to be getting better and better quality players.
Age catchs up to us all including football players. Hes slowing down.
He is not the problem in backline, but his lack of speed is one of a number of problems the back line has now.
Its time to celebrate his time and let him go at the end of this season
I think we should offer him one final year but with a mutual understanding between club and Dura that he won't play every game. I expect we will have quite a youthful side next year, and having him around especially for the defensive players would be a huge asset. We're in the A-League, and Dura is literally the best ever A-League defender. He may be slower now but tactically its still all there in his head, I would've thought that knowledge and experience is too valuable for us to through away yet. I also feel sorry for him that his "final season" has been potentially the team's worst season in history, and I'd be fine with giving him one last crack at being in the finals
