    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!

    If you want to get rid of this message, simply click on Join Now or head over to https://www.ccmfans.net/community/register/ to join 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.

* Dipizio still overseas?
* Kaltak with Vanuatu
* Roux New Zealand

Throw in a couple of injuries and niggles being rested.

However still a bit disappointed as a great opportunity to work on a defence first approach and work in some younger ones practicing block and strong defensive lines.

Even against quality opposition we could have played:

Doka———Diesel———Paul——-Maragius
————————Tappy—————————
Kuzevski——Alfie——-Steele————Ngor
————————-Alou—————————-

When was the last time we didn’t start an under strength team? Maybe the first ACL game? Are people just saying that to make the results less concerning. 7 days until our first game so not sure why we wouldn’t be fielding stronger teams.

Our trouble is depth which in our financial situation is always going to be weak. We need to rely on our depth being in 2 concurrent competitions.

The only way to fire harden the depth is to chuck them in the forge - much better to do it now in preseason where points aren't at stake. I would still have taken our best 11 to each preseason ACL game though.

We had to do it in the first 4 games of the season last year. Hopefully means we'll click earlier in the season this time around. But - these big losses arent a confidence filler.

That’s true and close games with Aukland and someone else.

Should be an even comp with maybe WSW, Sydney and Victory possibly standouts unless their Visa’s start getting injured.

. good news ... we can't afford to buy rounds (not that I condone such behaviour - the league obviously recognised they have an issue there)
