2011/2012 Player thread

[Forum Phoenix]

You seem to have described Pedj rather well here but still he provides brilliant peformances week in week out.

If it were to happen I would be dissapointed for Sainsbury (unless hes off somewhere else) but at the same time happy we have back up for Pedj of similar quality.

Fundly enough I almost posted that he reminded me of Pedj _three_ years ago. But Pedj has massively improved, and imo his growth has been constant - even though he's hitting new highs this year. Whereas Hearfield has not visibly seemed to improve for mine.

To other points...
GA and Moss do seem to get very good responses out of their players so who knows I guess. But on the evidence I've seen, very hard to not be disappointed by this as a signing.

Whose to say its not porter going off?

 

[Kareem]

if Porter is leaving...then maybe...as long as he is on a low wage
But why would he (Hearfield) leave a starting spot?
I hear he (Hearfield) doesn't like playin RB...lol. Good luck there mate
If you give me a choice between Porter and Hearfield...I'll take Porter.
One of the best crossers in the league. Good engine...
Ad most importantly, A COASTIE! He is our own youth player and local!!!
NB: this only relevent, when players are of similar quality.
Eg. If Wilkshire was to sign for us...I'd gladly pack Porter's bags

He'd be a squaddie. A cheap one at that. He'd be very able backup for a range of positions as a 15-20 ranked player in the side.

Now that is a signing I can understand!

Fantastic news!

 

[Wombat]

Great news. Wilko has been excellent this year.

 

[Atomic]

In my opinion, Wilko has greatly improved as a captain over the last 1 1/2 seasons. I'll put my hand up and admit that there was a time I wanted him to hand the arm band over last season... but he has certainly lifted his game in that respect.

I can hear him barking out orders, berating lazy defenders and keeping his cool under pressure. There are times when he even makes me blush with his dockside language.... lol. I'm sure Dutchy and Doig (to a lesser extent) have been great mentors for him.

Keep up the good work Wilko... and when that knob head in front of me at every game jumps on your back for passing the ball back, I'll give him a clip over the ear to celebrate your resigning.

Club legend and hope he can see a decade of seasons with the Mariners.

So nearly signed with Sydney a few weeks ago but the Mariners came to the party.

 

[Marquee]

Whats the go with that Mick? I'd assume he would be happy at the club, I mean we are doing well, looking good for the future and he's also the captain, yet he nearly signs with Sydney. Were we just not offering enough or did ACL or something like that tempt him?

Regardless, I'm very happy with the news as he has been fantastic this season.

 

[dibo]

This gets him to seasons 7 and 8, hope he does ten. He'll be one of a bare few.

Michael BAIRD (knee – 3 weeks)

Hmmm, another Sandgroper with crook knees.

 

[Deej]

Kwas for 2 more seasons too I believe

 

[dibo]

That is all kinds of awesome.

 

[dibo]

Had some fun with Fozzie online re: Kwassie being the Messiah.

 

[MagpieMariner]

That is all kinds of awesome.

What, Kwassie signing or Baird's knees?

 

[dibo]

Having seen both play, maybe both!

 

[shipwreck]

Lol poor Baird! To be fair he played really well against Perth, wanna see what he can do with a start

That's why I sit in the stands - couldn't begin to understand what goes on in a player's mind or a club administrator's.
