For me it's not, as I get some enjoyment in least out of watching promising young Kiwis like LBS.
From memory Ridenton did shine in Kalezić's season. But this was in the years before the Academy production line was in full swing, and definitely a bigger number of Aussie NPL journeymen about.
Still going in the Dutch 2nd tier Darije. Pretty much been there with various clubs since he left the Nix.
He has ADO Den Haag this season 4th and in the promotion playoff mix.

And Libby debuted. And Sarpreet, or do I have that wrong?
Ridenton got taken to Newcastle as a visa player by Ernie I think, where he did not have a stellar year.
Although I now have memories of him and Rufer playing up front for Kalezic.
Point is we wanted to win this season and it wasn’t an unrealistic expectation. Kalezic was interesting, but not saddled with second by 3 metres and 45 seconds.
