Central Coast Mariners Squad for 2009/10 HAL Season

[clarence]

One of the Jamaican triallist should be arriving next week. He is a dynamic outside left midfielder.

Apparently he is real quality. Sheffield offered him up. When they enquired about Travis' progress Lawrie said he was playing off the bench. They were so stunned at the A-Leagye quality that they supposedly recommended the Jamaican as a better player.

Lawrie or Lyall should send them tapes of the Sydney - Adelaide game and show them what quality was playing or that 3- all game involving Melbourne v. Brisbane. Seriously, this season might be a yummy season for all those students of the game if these last 2 rounds are anything to go by. I saw a lot of variation between the way Sydney went about their game compared to Adelaide there was a contrast of styles there, and it will be interesting to see how games like Sydney v Gold Coast will span out. Lavicka looks like a very good strategist and may end up schooling a lot of other coaches.

Team bonding

Unless Travis was offering D'Apuzzo a reach around in return, there's no bonding. By the looks on Travis' face he might have been contemplating the offer though.  ;D


Must get lonely being thousands of k's away from family and only knowing your team mates a bit, lol! ;D

injury replacement.............

 

[Marquee]

With rumours of Meggsy and Leijer returning for GCU/Melbourne, anyone think its possible to get one of them?

It all depends on Doig's injury of course.

I doubt that Leijer would choose us over Melbourne but if Meggsy is going to be released or loaned from Aab, and wants to come back to the A-league, you'd think he'd choose us over other clubs (money issue is debatable).

Then again, how much salary cap is left?

Isnt that what the youth league is for now?

Injury replacements are a thing of the past i thought

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Any news on the triallist?
If we sign an Injury replacement it would have to be for Huke I guess...
Doig will probably be back this week I'd say.
If there's someone worth signing, i'd rather we signed them outright than on injury replacement. When exactly does this transfer window close?

When exactly does this transfer window close?

the only thing I could find was this "Registration Window Changes

      First Registration Window will now run from 1 June - 31 August (3 month period aligns with European transfer window)" (source http://www.footballnews.com.au/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=24354) which is admittedly from last season but I haven't located anything else about the A-league transfer window.  But I suppose given that we can still have "guest" players for 9 games, and "long term injury replacement" players, there are all sorts of ways around any transfer window anyway.

Thanks almost retired.

Has anyone seen this guy yet?

Is it just me or did all of the mariners fans get a little bit scared when they saw Adam Kwasnik step up to the spot on Saturday against Sydney FC? He was always going to miss! Fair enough the strike wasn't that bad a the one handed save was impressive, but why would he have given it to Kwasnik when Matt Simon or Dylan Macallister were on the park?
Kwasnik is playing resonably well but he has too, he needs to make it up to Lawrie for the way he left and went to NZ for an extra bit of cash.

I could be wrong, but I've seen him take a few penalties and I don't think he's missed one up to now. Even then, he didn't miss - it was saved. Wasn't that badly hit either - low and pretty hard, but when the keeper picks the right way, they'll be stopped sometimes. It's a higher percentage option than a big blast for the top corner or whatever. I'd rather see them hit fairly well and saved than pinged high or wide and miss.

I'm not sure that he's playing that well at the moment - a lot of iffy passes and choices and then he pings in a beautiful long pass. He's inconsistent at the moment - when he's good he's very very good but when he's bad...

From up in the stand as soon as we were awarded the penalty all our players hid themselves and did not want to go near it. Kwas picked up the ball turned to the team, and no one would look at him. I dont think anyone wanted to take it.

Not dissing on kwassie because he had the guts and confidence to take it but he did wrestle the ball out of pedj's hands

 

[typool]

can hutch take Peneltys?

 

[bjw]

give 'em to danny

 

[dibo]

Pedj would probably be OK, but fair play to Kwas - he stepped up and hit it on target. It's in the lap of the Gods then.

 

[Morgan30]

hutch was somewhat down for the count so he was never getting the one on saturday though he was one of the first names i thought of before i saw him staying down

 

[clarence]

+1. Let the lad score a goal and get it out of his system!

(Btw, it would have to be the ultimate insult to have your opposing goalie take a spot penalty against you?)
