Pete, Luke, Jimmy, and Morrow are back in the studio to dry out after the game against Perth!
In this week's episode, we dissect Sunday's 2-2 draw with Perth, and the Mariners Head of Football Ken Schembri jumps into the studio for a chat.
How far can we actually go this season? When do we start having conversations about finals? Can you really maybe win it with kids?
Hey - we're still top of the league - let's absolutely embrace it.

Woo! Pod Day!

Stephen Lucas was 4th - Kris Griffiths-Jones (the man single-handedly responsible for the vast majority of VAR problems) was VAR.

Glad to hear Ken is a man of taste and correctly has a lot of love for the Kwassinator. Pod is sounding better all the time fellas.

Or, as for the right frame when the ball leaves the foot? It's actually The first point of contact of the ‘play’ or ‘touch’ of the ball should be used - so if the ball is in contact with the foot for, say, 5 frames as part of the pass, then the first one should be used.

I agree VAR should go - but if we're going to use it, maybe there needs to be something like, VAR has to prove offside on 3 different frames. Might help reduce the concern of 'it's the wrong frame and he was onside here'.

Interesting that Hawkeye lines up from the Goal Area and Penalty Area - didn't know that. But yeah, it raises the question on what steps are being taken to ensure the right level of precision for these markings then.

Top pod!

whats the likelihood of contract renewals happening anytime soon, especially with so many key players contracts expiring at the end of season? i know the TV deal is key to monies available, but are we able to sign pre-contract agreements that would allow us to secure some of our best talent while not committing to concrete dollar amounts?

Hey @Shaun Mielekamp, with the next 10 games released taking us up to mid-May what have you heard about the re-scheduled matches and finals. Also is there any formal/informal agreement with Graham Arnold about the number of A-League players that he will take from clubs during the final weeks and the A-League finals?

Particularly notable now since Graham Arnold saying he is taking 34 players to the WCQ matches that will take place from May 31 - June 15, 2021. Given a 14 day quarantine on return then effectively anyone selected will effectively end their A-League season.

The Olympics football tournament is also scheduled for 21 July to 7 August 2021.
