Mariners 2017-2018 Season Prediction

[Gratis]

Gee - I went from thinking we'd finish top 4 in the first third of the season (the way we were playing around Round 6) to expecting probably 9th.
2 more wins this season, 3 if we're lucky.

 

[Wombat]

Yep.
I had us as 4th!!!
Also i had Scum as 8th.
Not good tipping by me

Golden Boot (overall)
Peter Skapetis

There's still time!!!!

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

I did not expect to be wooden spoon contenders ☹️

 

[BrisRecky]

I thought we might make the semis .....that’s proven to totally FUBAR ....so now as long as we don’t get any wooden cutlery will do me just fine

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Well....it's still mathematically possible to win the grand final........

With our defence (obviously massively improved by Baro) and our f**king woeful attack (clearly improved by skepatis) we will be lucky to make the 6.
3 of the last 4 halfs we have played were sub Warmsley and Dross!

We havent been helped by paulo's eccentric starting 11s

How much longer do we have to wait before we have a solid squad? At this rate Mariners won't have a supporter left by the time we do have a good squad.

Spent all our $$ on defence and nothing on quality striker. Asdrubal wasn't a striker.

You've gotta build from the back.

That's what Arnie did with us and Sydney.

But Arnie had a few blokes up front who could score goals and a system that helped that happen.

We were also derided throughout all those successful years for being anti football, long ball, unattractive, bad for the game, etc etc etc. Now we can't win a f**king chook raffle and everyone loves our style of play. Go figure.

and that's the thing .our system doesn't work unless you have messi neymar and suarez

I actually don’t think that’s that far off. If you’re going to let defenders settle and all get back behind the balk and THEN try and break them down... you do need very skilled and creative forwards.

It's true but it's only true of Aleague quality. A berisha George and someone else could break the defense on the end of our attack
