It was a disappointing 2012 for the Deros after a solid 2011, but this week head coach Dwaino was confident that things were to change in 2013 after some mature recruiting in the off-season but it will really depend on whether the younger, less experienced players are able to take that next level. "Look, we're under no illusions that it's going to be a tough year, but the younger guys like Breust, Heppell, and Ziebell know it's their turn to pick up the slack. [Captain] Dangerfield, [vice-captain] Deledio, and those who have proven their elite status, just aren't enough to win games on their own," told Dwaino to ANJ earlier this week.
Dwaino also went on to say that within the club there is a buzzing optimism about the Deros ability to compete all season against every side, "we are still yet to cement our best 22. Obviously there is Patty [Dangerfield], Lids [Deledio], Shaw, and Big Sauce [ruckman Sam Jacobs], but from Grog [Duffield] to Goldylocks [Heppell], Breust to Sheds [Edwards], there is real competition for spots and we think that will work for us." Deros are also expecting the return of midfielder Wellingham to return sometime after the first couple rounds.
When asked about if there is any interest in disgruntled Terrors' ruckman Hamish McIntosh, Dwaino replied that naturally questions had to be asked internally when a player of that quality may be obtainable, but at this stage no formal inquiry has been made. "Look, he's a great player and I'm sure plenty of teams would love to have him. But at this stage he's under and injury cloud. We're really keen to see how big Clarky goes in the ruck behind Sauce [Jacobs], and we've also got Roughy up forward to cover any immediate ruck issues should they arise. It's something though that I'm will be looked at by our football manager [Mick] Molloy and list manger The Paw in time."
When asked about his earlier and much publicised off season incident in Thailand with a transsexual hooker and what effect it will have on the team over the season, Dwaino denied having any comment and that whether or not it was actually a prostitute is nothing more than alleged.
