But what's the point? Cotch retiring (is he) opens up a spot for a younger player to experience midfield time instead of yet another coming up 30yo. I understand in the premiership window but that's behind us now. Time to get some younger midfield talent we know will make it. Right now I'm not sure any of our young brigade midfielders will make it. Never going to find out if we keep replacing 30yos with other 30yos.
It all depends on our forecast for next year and seasons 23,24.
With Dusty, Presty, Nank, Bolton, Lynch, Grimes, these are still a solid nucleus to build a premiership team.
Is the Window closed? We don't know but if we assume it is then it is.
I,d be happy for the club to have another ping
