Central Coast Mariners Squad 2021/22

[true believer]

The only thing worse than off season, is off season in lock down.

DDS is a loss. (At least in a coming off contract year) but tbh, I’m thrilled with how little our pantry has been raided given our history. We’ve kept most of our most important players. Certainly our top 3 in Birra, Olly and Marcos.

DDS has killed his career . went to a club with davila and playing okon ball .
we may get him back in two years for a third of the price .

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Also very interested to see who Mont brings in as #2 ‘keeper with Pearce moving on

Is Pearce headed to the NPL?

 

[true believer]

it's about time for a shaun post .of good things coming to raise the punters sprits

I hope we go with a scholarship player who we can develop. It can feel like a waste of cap space to have a player just sit on the bench for basically all season. We need to make the most of every dollar.

Our goalkeeping coach, Peter Zois, has joined Popovic at Victory. Wonder who Monty's pick will be.

How do you know that Peter zois is gone to Melbourne victory our gk keeper coach

It's 50/50 for him at the Bulls. He could look good in a shit structure next to or wide of Davilla....... or he'll sit on the pine because he holds the ball longer than Davilla does, is slower (mind) than Davilla is, and can't strike the ball like Davilla does.
I think he'd be devo that Davilla was announced before him seeing as though this deal was done yonks ago.

I was very nervous about his appointment but now I'm excited to see who he brings in. He's got a fair amount of latitude and he's got 2 or 3 (if we're lucky or if he's frugal) import deals also. I'd take Jags, Vela and Mcmanaman and then just fill it with yoof......

McManaman isn't an option unfortunately:

We have taken the piss with only 2 keepers for the last two years. If anything had happened to Birraz we would have been murdered as Pearce is no where near AL standard. We dodged a bullet!

I dont really care about Zois coz Birraz is quality already. Here is a left field suggestion if we are going to go Pikey standard (i.e stupid ) with our keepers and keeper coaches maybe hire a Coach that can actually cover our keeper if he gets injured or suspended.

With the way A-League rules are why don't we just sign an injury replacement keeper if Birrighitti gets injured? If our scholarship keeper is not up to it then we just nab whoever the standout keeper in the NPL NSW is at the moment for an injury replacement contract.
It's what every other A-League club does because it maximizes the value we get out of our salary cap spend, especially when the injured player's wage is covered by insurance.

Bring back Munford.

We even had a Moari looking dude from Canberra come up for a trial and he looked better than Pearce and kennedy tbh.

A return for Jess van Stratton perhaps? We could do worse and we know Birraz thinks a lot of him, plus he and Monty get along pretty well I believe.

What about our S&C guy? He did a fantastic job. As well as the physios. Supreme fitness and very few soft tissue injuries.

Ken mentioned on the MMD stream that head Physio Dave McGuinness has moved on and that will be a big loss. He did a lot of good work keeping the boys on the park last season, so it is vital we appoint someone equally good for the coming season.

Is Luca Tonetti gone as well?

I’d put money on Munford.

Yeah I thought it was a pretty remarkable season injury wise. You can’t do much about DDS kicking the ground. Only other real injury outs I remember were Nizz and Stens?

Proved how important achieving a high level fitness base in pre season is and how much we’d been missing it. One of our biggest complaints over the horror spell was our obvious lack of fitness.

Madness. As the smallest club we will always need to work harder than anyone else and being fit is one of the simplest and most effective things you have in your control.

Yeah let bring munford back to Mariner
