CCMFC v NUJFC

[LFCMariners]

Probably can't be bothered coughing up the 5 cents. He spent his disposable income on a Lampard Chel$ki jersey anyway...

Time for Bernie to get a run in the top flight!

has been training with the first squad all week

apparently perth are strong interest in him

We are getting McBreen and he put the nails in our coffin on the weekend. They are interested in Bernie, and he hit the final nail in their coffin in the NYL game. Funny coincidence. I say we should give Bernie game time these next two weeks- we have nothing to lose and would give him a running advantage heading into next season. A team with he and McBreen in it might change our fortunes noticeably.

TBF its a top 4 in the youth so perth are still in with a chance with a few rounds remaining so he didnt put the nail in their coffin, but yes you're right if other teams are interested in him, give him a go and see how he goes and if somehow he goes quite well, give him a contract.

I was using the metaphor in relation to the game itself, not the season. The only thing I can see going against Bernie is his size- to constantly make the A-League squad he needs to put on a few kilo's, but as he is he's worth putting on the bench these next two weeks.

Agree completely with that.

accidently put in the glory game thread, but here is the squad:
bringing in the youth:

2.Matthew CROWELL, 3.Shane HUKE, 4.Pedj BOJIC, 5.Brad PORTER, 7.John HUTCHINSON, 9.Nik MRDJA, 10.Panny NIKAS, 15.Andrew CLARK, 16.Nigel BOOGAARD, 17.Chris DOIG, 18.Alex WILKINSON (C), 19.Matt SIMON, 20.Danny VUKOVIC (GK), 22.Nicky TRAVIS, 23.Adam KWASNIK, 24.Brady SMITH, 28.Nathan SHERLOCK, 30.Mathew RYAN (GK).
*three to be omitted

would be good to see all 3, panni, brady and nathan getting some game time

Also hopefully there is a big crowd this saturday for Clarky's last home game. A CCM legend through and through, defines exactly what a Mariner is.

Hope Hutcho shares the coins with him

makes no sense for the promoted youth players not be either in the run on side or on the bench but Lawrie has form on this with the ACL.
I'd leave out Boogs, Clark and Kwasnik. Boogs because he is leaving otherwise I would have left out Doig after last week's effort; Clark because anybody can play left back better than him and we have a raft of better right backs; and Kwas because he has the security of the contract for next year which none of the young kids have yet.

As above Clark will play as this is his last home game. The kids will probably get more of a run the week after in Wellington.

Hutchs' "We need to stand up and take responsibility as players" is why I think we are likely to be able to play some good football, get a win, and salvage some pride.

shouldnt that have happend when they got to BE professional, as you dont choose to be one, you are selected out of thousands!!!

I think that was Peter O'Leary ..

 

[marinermick]

Was O'Leary.

Our record under Green - 7 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss

Mariners 23 yellows, 1 red
Opposition 15 yellows, 2 reds

 

[Jimmy]

Ah, so a good chance of a win then.

 

[marinermick]

Ah, so a good chance of a win then.

yep, with 50% more yellow cards than them

 

[dibo]

And 50% as many reds.

 

[Part_Timer]

stats, bah. derbys should mean they go out the window..

I agree. And it probably was, especially given our opening season.
I think Jerome you need to take the quote in its context.
As I'm sure your aware, with many commitments in life you don't just make them once.
Instead your are required to review and renew your commitment many times over.
I think given our slump, this is the context.

Ironically, I think it's often the idea of being "professional" that causes many players and subsequently teams, to lose their way.

In my experience when players go out and play for themselves - concerned with their personal performance, pay packet, playing time or next contract... they rarely perform, but when they go out 100% committed instead to working for each other, their coach, the fans... The club. Then you truly get a team performance.

This used to be our hallmark I think and allowed us to punch above our weight. But its dropped in and out over the past two seasons... and so, I value Hutch's statement.

But he can't make anyone else step up, and there is no denying I think that players knowing they are leaving, or wanting to, feeling they should be getting more game time etc, is going to cost you asa whole performance wise.

Not much escaping it though unfortunately.

Hutcho out
