Mariners Kick In The Balkans
EXCLUSIVE: The Mariners will trial a former Partizan Belgrade striker and an ex-Serbian international on the clubs whistle-stop tour of Queensland later this week.
Former Partizan Belgrade striker Dejan Zivkovic and former Serbian international and central midfielder Vukasin Ristic, both 29, are two of five overseas trialists being looked at by Coast supremo Lawrie McKinna.
The trialists will have games against Queensland State League club Logan United and North Queensland Fury later this week to press their case.
McKinna has always stated that he'd only bring in overseas players if they're better than the local players he already has at his disposal.
However, after a below-par ACL campaign which saw the side fail to cope with higher quality Asian opposition, he'll be hoping the pair will be able to inject some traditional Balkans flair into his hard-working squad.
Zivkovic's last club was FK Smederevo in Serbia's first division while Ristic was last with FK Novi Pazar in the country's second divison.
Also on trial are Italian Giorgio Di Vicino, 28, a veteran of 10 clubs in ten years, most recently Pescara in the Serie C, and former Crystal Palace Pom, Jamie Smith.
They are joined by Welshmen Matt Crowell, a midfielder for non-league Northwich Victoria, and highly-rated Aussie youngster Rostyn Griffith, recently on loan at Gretna and Accrington Stanley from Blackburn Rovers and a short spell as injury cover at Adelaide United earlier this year.
In other news, negotiations are in place for a pre-season friendly between Mark Bosnich's Sydney Olympic and Sydney FC.
If the game went ahead, it would likely pull the largest crowd yet during the sky blues' successful community tour through Sydney.
Bosnich will be officially unveiled as an Olympic player tomorrow.

Due to dud internet policy at work all i could see today was the headline: From the Bernabeu to the Central Coast Mariners, and reasonably excited was an understatement. All kinds of thoughts started going through my head and emotions akin to hearing that the Mariners were granted a place in the A-League.
As with most things now knowing the full story still excited but a bit more subdued.
Looking forward to hearing the reports of this weeks games.

Bulldog Mariner was at training and he said that Ristic and Griffiths were very impressive.
How many Serbs live on the coast? A Serbian import might get a few more through the gate.

I don't know how many Serbs live on the Coast, however new faces that can play exciting football would put a few more bums on seats.

Sometimes marquee players work out, sometimes they don't. There have been some notable boobs in that regard over the last four seasons. Agree about the fresh blood though.
