Former Mariners in the NPL

[Huddo]

He has found his level.

I honestly think he was gyped in the A-league, having to attempt to score off probably our worst team, he didn't have a chance

Good strikers score in bad teams. Not as many but they still manage to get goals.

O’donovan managed to score in that team ??‍♂️ (8 in 15/16, 11 in 16/17)

 

[Wombat]

Hope he goes well. A left sided midfielder you say?

That can't cross a ball you say.

 

[Michael]

Nah - they didn’t submit an expression of interest, were never in the running.

Fair enough, thought that may have been the draw card for a guy like Isgrove to move all this way for semi pro footy.

Carved in my FM 2016 lower league saves - picked him up from Southampton on a free. Brilliant up to about L1

We always need more of those to go with the 3 we already have

He was a kid, he wasn't a seasoned professional.

He was a kid, he wasn't a seasoned professional.

You mean like faz is a kid? Or do pizio is a kid? Or irankunda is a kid? Or garang is a kid? Or the toures at Adelaide were kids? Or arzani was a kid? Or like Archie Goodwin is a kid?

He was simply not a-league level.

He is doing well now because he is in the right spot.

Or maybe the coach knows how to utilised him.

In every team he has been a part of bar the Mariners he was used in front of goals, when he was with us it was a counter attacking style, he was well out of position.

Prior to JC that 11 goal season for O'Donovan was our second highest in club history.

Steve Whyte has re-signed for the Knights.

Thought I would start this thread for former Mariners who aren't quite conquering the world.

I know their club president can get pretty creative with the accounts, so yeah….. sure.

It’s literally impossible to track the clubs that pay players in the local comp, just gotta laugh at the logic behind it. As a player take the cash when it’s offered.
