Well and truly gone by the time it’s our turn. But still confident we’ll recruit a good one.

Re: Who replaces Gresham?
I reckon Collard’s capable of at least a goal a game at 18!theoracle wrote: ↑Wed 18 Oct 2023 8:24am Who replaces Gresham doing what?
He kicks a goal a game average, bang on 1 a game. I think we can pick that up in a forward line with King, Caminiti, Owens, (hopefully) Membrey, Phillipou, Butler and Higgins plus a midfield and wings that like to actually work and run.
He slaps the ball on to his foot mindless of where it is going his thinking being 'I got a possession, my job is done.' We don't need to replace that at all.
He did not dominate whole games in his 8 seasons at St K; he would dominate minutes. That doesn't need replacing.
Despite a decent & promising 2017-19 period where he looked like being something, he drifted backwards in the last 3-4 seasons developing a frustrating habit of going missing for huge chunks of game time in almost every game he played for us in that period. We only ever saw cameos, hints, flashes, occasional great goals, periodic match winners (yep, the Gold Coast one was brilliant) and that's it - he never developed the ability to consistently impact or turn a game. That hardly needs replacing.
Jade was once considered our best player 4-5 seasons ago but that was in an average St K outfit and it actually reflects a player who, for the most part, has been average.

He’s one of many I’ve earmarked to keep an eye on…I’ll be like a kid in a lollie shop watching all our draftees from this year and last!

Re: Who replaces Gresham?
Preparation has never been an issue for Windhager.
Got to admire the lad for that.
If my name was Clark without an “e”, I’d shadow the younger man in the gym and on the training track.
Not suggesting Clark doesn’t do the work, just that Windhager is already the consummate professional.
