Add to that Jason Byrne and Hawkins been out for long periods and a couple more playing with injury our squad size has been a major hindrance to us this year.
Reserve team players Chris Duffy and Phillip Duffy have been called onto the bench for most of the matches this year but are very rarely used (ie. if we're cruising Foster might give them a run out).
The board stated that they won't be increasing funds to add to the squad, but this was before Hector and presumably Guthrie left. Hopefully we can get in a defender or two.
