On to more positive issues - this is a short wish list based on Aussie's with expired/expiring contracts
Brad Smith - LB - We need a LB. Clisby aint it. Smith and Mila would be a great pairing down the left
Jake Brimmer - CAM - He's looked pretty darn good despite a horrific knee injury. Absolutely wasted under Popa
Harrison Delbridge - CB - Decent results in K1. Needs to be next to a Marcelo or similar player. Best aussie CB on the free agency market right now
Reno Piscopo - LM/LW/CAM - Looks dangerous on the ball at all times. Similar to Brimmer he's had a shocker knee injury but lifted Jets attack whenever he's on the pitch
Curtis Good - CB - He's likely off to India, but you wouldn't say no. Only issue is his injury record sucks
Tyrese Francois - CM - His ceiling looked to be very high 4 years ago. He's played just 22 professional games at 23. A-League might be his level, and he'd be awesome behind the likes of Brimmer
Ajdin Hrustic - CAM - Easy choice if our staff think they can keep him fit
Jason Geria - RB/CB/LB - Can play across the back line. You'd grab him if we cant find another CB, but probably no better or worse the Cleur
Jason Davidson - LB/CB - Played 15 games or so at CB in Belgium plus another 10 at LB/LM. Massive step up on Clisby or a mainstay CB next to Marcelo or similar
Nectar Triantis - CB - He's still contracted to Sunderland but if we end up with Monte we could definitely get him on a season loan from Sunderland. A small fee
We still have 4 foreign spots with Hendrix, Marcelo and Kittel gone.
Lots of decent Aussie options on the list above plus a few more I couldnt be f-ed to look at because scotch...
Eh, im a little sad about this one. I know most on this forum wanted him gone, but his first 8 or so games for us were bloody brilliant. He's never been great defensively but he was dynamic in attack. I recall he got benched to give Tommy Aquilina some time, and after that he never really looked the same. His performances have taken a huge dive off a cliff since his ACL injury. In my head he's still 19, completely whiffed on the fact he's 24. He should be showing much more at that age. We have zero need for Tate with Simmo and Cleur in the picture.
Wish him all the best
