Bye Nik (but we'll meet again)

[Jazzie]

Any one see it playing out like this...........Nik has an absolute stormer, bangs in goals left right and centre before suffering a season ending injury in the last game for Melb.

Yep  ... this whole thing is so depressing. Going to take a pill and lie down

Yes, first thing I thought. Didn't want to seem negative though, so fingers crossed.

In Murphy's Law if you expect it to happen it doesn't, right?

Great- who the f**k is going to score for us tomorrow night now?

Bernie Ibini-Isei

disco nik chant is now in the hands of a few S end guys - reckon they will give it go in the pub pre game

Cant make finals, opportunity to save wages = good economic sense.

Not communicating or explaining and treated the "members" like mugs = wankers

Wages saved meaning expenses less... Gate down because of best players not available meaning revenue less ...

It could cost us money if the gate is small..

 

[radar]

well at least it will be pissing down with rain

that's a guaranteed crowd-puller

 

[BaysideMariner]

Damn it I will have to watch the game tonight then

 

[tsd]

does this mean we have to support tards in the finals now?  disco might win a toilet seat after all

 

[cruiser]

ha ha ha ha ha ha. Mrdja finally finds some form and we trade him!!! ha ha ha ha ha ha

The Mariners are becoming a joke.

I'm just gonna count down to the AFL season now and pretend that this A-League season was a bad dream.

Who else would you support? The others will probably be FC, GCW, Scum, Glory, and the foreigners. OK maybe the Glory seeing they have a soon-to-be Mariner in the team.
If the tards play Glory in the GF, buggered if I know who I'll support.

I don't think I'll ever get used to this business of chopping & changing teams & players throughout the season, having trading windows in the middle of the season.
I always thought a contract was a contract, and it was only terminated if you were a naughty boy.
If you wanted to change teams, or the team wanted to get rid of a player, it happened at season end.

Spoken like a true AFL supporter (I hear ya).

Was WEIRD watching him run on in those colours when you know he's still really a Mariner...  :-\

He gets the assist from the Hernadez free kick, but he should have had two goals with his one on ones. Played some decent balls and looked good otherwise, I think just looked a little rattled being a MV boy for the first time. And to be honest he got better service tonight with MV than he has gotten from us all year.

As to all the fuss on here. lol, we will be without Mrdja for two games when we are already eliminated from the finals and people are spitting chips? My how things change.

Happy he's been resigned for a one year deal with us. I think it was the smart thing to do as a club - as long as his wage was not too high.

Going on loan - yes unless he gets injured - I think will be a good thing for us.
Hopefully he will have retained or improved his form for next season and with Mc Breen looking decent, and Nik in form we will be halfway to true strike force.

I don't think it does our code many favours to be honest.

Thats why you follow the badge and never the individuals. I fully expected him to score and run to the massed tards doing the whole badge kissing thing

Orrrrrrr...

The Mariners are now out of the finals, with only two games to play, and had a chance to save some dollars and help keep a striker in form, who has been VERY short on games over the past few years but is finally moving towards his potential.

Also helps a fellow Australian club in their ACL bid.

Don't think this makes us a joke.

 

[FFC Mariner]

We lend a player out and save approx $60k in the process.

quality post cruiser

lol, don't think the badge kiss just yet...
But noticed he was handing out those MV footballs with a bit of smile.
