I think the season where we had it all about right - especially getting alot out of our visa players, was 19/20 - Talay's first in charge. Taylor, Hooper, Ball, Davila & Steinmann.
We were on track to finish 3rd, maybe even 2nd, and host a home playoff(s), pre Covid. That's when we could have done what CCM have done this season and made the big dance. No gtee would have overcome either SFC or Melb City to win the toilet seat, but the Nix were an in form team March 2020.
It's up to Chiefy to find that magic mix. Apparently he (not Uffie) uncovered some of the Nix's better visa players of recent times. But he will be hamstrung there if Ball & Wotton are on the wane. Crucial for the team that they have better seasons each in 23/24, plus Kraev is more 2022 than 2023.
Stating the obvious, but it's more about getting the player mix right, than any real club/culture issues. Especially nowadays when off the field the club are well run. Just read Zawada's recent comments on the Nix.
