Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

[BrisRecky]

Mrs Recky said to me once “why do you put your name on the shirt?”...answer...cause I will always be here...players not so much

 

[garlo]

Really glad with the Stensness signing - he was really good tonight when he came on!

Spot on. Fox looked very good all things considered as well.

Yep me too. I always get my name on the shirts i get. My number too.

Agree on Fox and Stensness.

We don’t have that visa CB, that visa Striker, enough cover at RB, and could do with one more winger imo, but we have the best youth since our hey days and the general ability of our squad depth is easily the best it’s been in an age.

 

[midfielder]

Squad is looking like our squads of yester years ... balanced across the park...

Agree on Fo and Stensness.

A visa striker will do me.

After that if you want to take a chance I'd take a final chance on Jake Adelson. I know he has been released by the Jets.

He will be cheap because of his injury history but can cover RB , RM & DM. A hard worker and I believe with his attitude he would fit right back into the squad.

I can't see us getting a visa CB, or any more CBs for that matter now with our recent recruits and I'd imagine between Tongyik, GG, Fox and Stensness one of them would be able to cover RB if necessary. Depending on what happens with the last visa slot (Im assuming attack focused) Murray or Majok might be seen as additional wing options? Aside from a proper starting striker (if we dont push Murray that way) AM and wing are the areas I'm most concerned about depth. I worry that if any of Oar, DDS or Duric are out our options going forward take a big hit. We could possibly handle 1 depending on formation but 2 would be a disaster unless we have someone that can step up in that role.

After watching the replay I take back what I said about Duric, he is very effective at being calm and dictating play. I think he underestimated the speed of being closed down, especially against a pressing team like the Roar and that made him look slow.

He had the most completed passes in the whole game from both teams.

My take on him was that he was so comfortable at that level he was almost lazy, and got caught out a couple of times. Seems almost TOO calm.

The comparison someone made to Rogic wasnt far off - looks slow but is just comfortable at A league pace.

 

[BrisRecky]

Just maybe Duric will go “AH HAH” and turn the accelerator up a smidge for Hume ...also I hope he moves just a tad further down the pitch

I agree on both - I have a feeling that he was dropping deeper this time out to protect our backline. With all hands on deck (I think) for Hume, he may be freed up to move forward more.

 

[Michael]

I said lastnight that none of us know how good a player we have in duric yet.
He definitely was surprised by the pressing a few times. But he’s also not upto full speed just yet, only been here a couple weeks. That passing stat is even more impressive if you look at his range of passing. He’s our key attacking signing.
I’m so excited for the Hume game, will Kye’s suspension be done?

 

[pjennings]

Kye is back from suspension. I think Alen said GG and Ruon will be back next week

 

[garlo]

A visa striker will do me.

This! Would be great cover! He was a great bloke - just unlucky as hell!

Agree. I would have rather kept him on the books due to his misfortune and given him the chance.

 

[true believer]

Note to self . Don't get comfortable yet .

Could not agree more on Adelson. Has had horrible bad luck with injuries. I remember his last CCM game where we played Wellington at Knox Grammar pre-season 2015? I think it was. He did his ACL and l was a long way away but l heard it go. Horrible sound.

He is definitely a more than good enough squaddie to have if needed. Would be a good player to have for the NYL season too. Also a really nice dude so l am all for it.

 

[priorpeter]

Love adelson, fantastic bloke and a handy footballer. Unfortunately too much of a risk IMO, having done his ACL 4(?) times in the last few years. The club will have learned/been burned from the Gameiro files.
