Sure, our academy and youth is now a focus and launching careers a plan.
But you rather undercut it by the Daniel/Sasse comparison. Yes, Daniel was clearly better!
We came back at Melbourne Victory with belief and desire in that first ever game. Daniel scored and was highly influential in grabbing a late draw against one of the top sides of that era.
I think Payne and Ball could have had better seasons and if they had, they definitely could have played a decisive leadership role in the team. As it stands, Payne’s made great tackles, but also notable mistakes and Ball was unable to buy a goal after hitting the post 3 times in a few seconds.
