Big games against MacArthur and then Wanderers at home. I’m hoping for at least 1 win out of those 2 would show that we are still in the race.

I would settle for a draw away to MacArthur, but we need to do much better against the Wanderers game to prevent a long slump (can happen with young kids in the team not having the right mental experience yet).

Besides Kelly-Heald and to a lesser extent Surman who is in his 2nd season, which kids are getting any meaningful minutes? Had both Conchi and Supyk on the bench on Sat and not sure what would have been lost by giving both/either of them 15m at 3/0 down. Maybe I am missing something but cany help feeling there is a bit of smoke and mirrors about the supposed youthful nature of the team.  

Don't forget Paulsen. But otherwise your point is correct. The consistent starting 11, really only has 3 young ex Academy kids. That's certainly less than what the likes of Adelaide & CCM have been doing in recent years, in terms of playing youth.

But it could easily change soon. There have been very few injuries this season to date. A too good to turn down offer for Zawada may come in the Jan window. Looking forward to seeing Supyk getting a chance, at some point.
