Great episode guys! I share the concerns about squad depth - for example, we were spoilt last year with Edwards as a back-up GK for Foster (for most of the season at least), but Danieli doesn't give me the same confidence. I'm also hoping Whinham can pick up where she left off, but wonder if she'll be as effective without Fraser to link with? I'd like to see McMeeken find some consistency - she's a veteran (despite her age) and often excellent, but still plays like an academy player at times (she was badly exposed in the away game against Melb City last season). And yes, the away games hoodoo - if we can break that, anything is possible!
Thanks for listening! There's definitely a lot to look forward to seeing in this team, but you're quite right that there are always worries when you don't feel like you have a lot of depth. Here's hoping for few injuries or disruptions, and that any less experienced players are brought up to speed at an optimal rate.
