COACHES CORNER / JOSHUA DELANEY
What’s the biggest focus for your group in 2026?
Our biggest focus is making sure everyone is on the same page with our game plan and the direction that we want to go.
What will supporters notice about this team?
We will definitely be a lot quicker and sharper, especially around the contest where our midfielders do the bulk of the work. We have had a high focus on our fitness, and we are definitely going to be running out games and challenging a lot of good teams.
What’s your side’s greatest strength?
Everyone has bought into each other and everyone's getting on the same page, so our culture is building. Everyone is playing for each other, rather than playing as an individual. That's what our message is, culture based on and off the field.
What still needs the most work?
We feel we are pretty strong in most aspects, but one area we can definitely improve in is our self belief.
What does success look like for this group in 2026?
I'm really bullish on our group, I've got so much belief in what we can and will achieve. Making finals is not just a pass mark, we want to actually win a final or two, because we believe we are a pretty good team and we believe we can go deep into finals.
