yesSo you reckon Griffiths was the better option do you?
ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

I Would normally agree with the sentiment on Griff except he's starting to show a pattern... He doesn't stuff up a lot, but when he does he's always certain that it's costly...
Which is a shame because I actually think he shows some promise, just starting to think that he should show it elsewhere...
agree Bladesman.....it just didn't make sense to take those players Mossy obviously had no intention of playing...and if we weren't serious about aiming for the next round, then why not blood some youngsters for the future.If you are going to sit so far back as we did last night then you have to expect that sides are going to be all over you and with the speed and skill of the ACL players combined with the refereeing (the ref was good last night so can't blame him) then free kicks, penalties and sendings off are certainly likely.
Given we clearly showed that the A-League was the priority with the team and subs not sure though why we wouldn't just take a few of the NYL side up instead. Play them up front to inject some pace and pressure as with the team we had on the park last night a quick break was never going to be an option. At least the youth would bring a bit of unpredictability and prevent a number of the team having to travel just for the sake of it.
Mood-swing forum is in full swing I see. We're playing three sudden death games in 8 days with 30hr travel in that period and playing for a draw. What did people expect, swashbuckling attacking and gut-busting runs? Seriously, we played for a draw and didn't get it against a team that is frankly in better nick than us and far better resourced.
We didn't get the result but some of the wrist-slashing and vitriol in here is laughable.
