Fix the leaky roof

 

[style_cafe]

My apologies for presenting my message in an easily-misconstrued manner, genuinely.

I sit with my father during the games, and he's constantly leaning over to ask me what was just announced, so it's something I'm reminded of each match. I saw the post on reddit, and it was really the first time I'd thought about discussing it with anyone else. I responded there, then remembered that during every podcast you guys ask for feedback through the forum - which you accurately pointed out that I don't frequent very often.
I came here to post in what was certainly not meant to be an overly negative or "calling out" way, but to raise a discussion point for the podcast.

I'll take full responsibility for my poor communication. I've been to matches around Australia, and can't say I've heard a better stadium announcer. Last thing I'd want would be for you to step down from the role.

I'll forward the rest of my thoughts by DM.

Keep posting mate it provoked responses that have been interesting

How about
"

Because the acoustics are so bad at the ground you would have thought that after 20 years they would have put speakers near the open areas.
And a roof
And wifi
And edible food
And decent beer

And removed the seats in front of where i sit so people dont block my banner…

 

[geoffgfletch]

Redmayne too.
Ian McAndrew, Brady Smith, Jamie McMaster, Andrew Clark…

Don't forget Bradley Porter and Matthew Trott!

When Rich Peil asked us how to get more people in the active bay, my response was basically.
Win games and get a roof.

If there was a roof there you'd get so many people sitting there, not just active.

Install safe standing so they can’t sit.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Install safe standing so they can’t sit.

Is that the same safe standing we were promised a year ago?

 

[Corsair]

Install safe standing so they can’t sit.

What's safe standing?!

 

[Huddo]

What's safe standing?!

It's standing. The safe part comes in how it's ticketed and marshalled, e.g allocated standing spots.

Not entirely. It’s where rows of seats are removed and replaced with terraces with rails, similar to the RBB end at Parramatta or the cove end at Moore Park.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Like we were going to get and didn't?

 

[priorpeter]

Don’t think the club were ever on the record as saying it was happening. It was definitely being looked at but with the changeover in stadium management rights etc it was probably a bridge too far to get it done ahead of the 22/23 season. Hopefully they seriously look at it and can make something happen for next season.

Safe standing and lock off the seats for bay 16 mariners home games. Cheers.

Not sure why I posted that to the coast football ramble thread but ok. I've had a few drinks. Happy Christmas all.

Given that 1 visa player has to go. John might be favourite?
No info just a guess?

There might be a few ways to tackle the issue:
- Once rehabbed cut Moresche loose (pay out), team has moved on etc. pretty scummy and I don’t like it. Not sure if there’s any hurdles to doing that.
- Let Kaltak go. Cleanest option but unlikely.
- Sell / mutually terminate Beni if there’s interest back home.
- Let Ayongo go. I think he occupies a similar space to Moresche. Hasn’t really shone for us.
- Let Kelechi John go. Doesn’t seem to be fit or if he is falls behind Hall and Triantis. If I recall correctly he was on a 2 year deal so that might be an issue.

Contract lengths, wages, willingness / mental state might all be factors. Only ones I see as off limits are Tulio now he’s showing some form and had his family move over and Kaltak feels unlikely to move on naturally.
John or Beni feels most likely IMO.

If you listen to Monty lately you get the impression he rates Kaltak so on that basis alone I feel he will be staying. My guess is Beni or Kelechi however Ayongo could be the smokey. We don’t have to wait much longer to find out.

Ayongo looks to be on 2 years, John appears to be 1. Not sure where Beni stands with extensions etc..

Don’t foget loan options.

Loan out Keletchi to get him up to fitness and used to playing in the league

Finish the season at Roar or even SFC or Perth to see what he has

Don’t foget loan options.

Interesting suggestion. I don’t love it but it does open up some possibilities.
