I watched the game on Saturday night live and was as disappointed at the result as the rest of you.
While the club has a hell of a lot of work to do, there as a great deal of short-termism going on in the forum.
Welnix has a long term plan and they are thinking and acting in the long term-  classic ,Japanese style. 
They have invested heavily in the Academy, in the Women's team,are enabling the Men's team to live and compete in Oz,and to operate a local Reserve side .
I'm sure Uffie re-signed last year believing in the same philosophy as Welnix.
He knows it will take 2-3 years or maybe longer to get the group back to a long term,sustainable and competitive position.
They are working towards a balance of the experienced and inexperienced players.Let them get on with it and stop moaning.
Welnix has and will continue to look for an ownership partner who shares these views who will invest accordingly. That much we know. 
This supporter is incredibly proud of the achievements of the Club so far in supporting the young players in football.
Lets desist from the handwringing and "instant solution"malarkey and concentrate on the positive long term goals.
Who says that 3 or 4 visa players will solve all of our problems?
Hang in there Welnix ,Management ,Team and Coach . Times are tough for everyone-  KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING! 


There is some truth in the above. Covid has just right royally fudgeed up this season for the Nix, and sadly some possible signs that many of the group are just jack of it all. Big task for Uffy and others to keep the spirits up.

I'm sure the recent Govt announcements about keeping the border shut for longer, were a blow to morale. And it's not just the lack of visa players that's a problem, it' the complete lack of home advantage for half your games, like all the other teams have. Not a level playing field.

But yes one positive spin is that 8 Kiwis started against Adelaide and another 4 came off the bench. Is 12 NZers a record for the Nix re single match involvement?

Some like Rufer you may hope are on their way out, but others like Surman, Old & Van Hattum are Academy products and the future. So yipe a longer term view needs to be taken as to what this likely mehh sharkty season will be all about.

As long as the owners are keeping Uffy happy, and letting him know he will get what he wants within reason for season 2022/23 (presuming normal H&A at last) - medium/long term future is bright.
