Mariners Squad - 2019-2020

Who is the most consistent spine player and hardest worker in the outfield?
Hint: it's not one of the old school losers.

Id consider Kye as skipper

 

[pjennings]

City have released Cabrera, I’d kill for a player of that quality.

Gone to Argentina

Ahemmm..... Wales... All party and no performance. 3 goals in 50 A-League matches as a striker... No team can afford that sort of dead wood.

I watched the first 10 mins of the Roar v City game and Lachie was having a Barry Crocker. Kossie didn't sound like a fan lol.

That was just an example and a player we had on the books previously. Pain would have been fine too. How many has Oar scored in his 1.5 seasons here?

I would be giving Milan a contract and then give him a scouting role over the winter. He has played in a number of the Balkan leagues and I would have him assist Staj over there identifying players.

I would not be adverse to all our imports coming from that region. Their players are technically excellent and they seem to appreciate the opportunity and lifestyle out here and work hard to succeed.

Their success hit rate is far greater than the South Americans who often seem to have a entitled arrogance about their demeanour.

What a brilliant idea. And couldn’t agree more about the work ethic and mentality.

I was/am more hurt to lose Pain. On field, Oar has nowhere near the same impact.

Kitto had a bad game and got slammed by his coach. If we want to solve the LB issue he might be an option as soon as this window. Under contract but doesn’t exactly sound like they want him. Was decent last year so maybe a run of poor form isn’t just on him.

I don’t know much about him as a player but for the coach to publicly rubbish him like that is beyond poor form. Stajic would never do that - the sign of an excellent man manager. Sure, take a player aside and let him know the score privately but to do it publicly is very poor in my view...

Agreed. Clisby gets dropped and deserves to when he does - but that's the only clue we have as to how the coach reacts to his performance. And that's exactly how it should be.

The best managers do this. How often did Fergie slam his teams publicly? Maybe when they were being primadonnas and he was about to sell them. Yet you hear the stories of the sprays in the sheds.
Also the generation of players now don't really respond to copping sprays and especially public ones. It's outdated coaching.
The sprays we copped when playing u18s and reserves. Jeeeeeezus.

 

[BrisRecky]

Yeah, Staj doesn’t strike me as a human hair dryer like fergie...BUT, you gotta watch the quiet ones

 

[marinermick]

From what I understand Oar hasn’t put pen to paper yet and the club has made a final offer, but he is expected to leave.

There may also be a player coming in but he is having trouble being released by his current club.

We will also hear of some re-signings in the next couple of weeks including visa players. Gordon I suspect.

League is also moving to six visa players next season.

Probably Gordon and McGlinchy

That will alleviate the pressure WU and Mac have put on the local player pool. Also makes it more feasible to take a punt on a developing foreigner rather than looking for someone on the other side of 30.

I’d be very happy to keep Ziggy around more so that we can have another visa, well 2 more when wee Mac jogs on. Overall Ziggy has been a positive. We need to remember he’s come to a place where he knows basically nothing of the attackers in the league. It’s particularly harder for defender visa players to adapt.

 

[marinermick]

It would be nice to have visa players that lasted more than one season here

Exactly. That's our place.

Kitto may be just another Clisby, I've watched plenty of HAL and he never really stood out over the years so that is saying something and not sure we should settle for another potential "isn't really HAL level player" which is what his coach is saying. He was also part of some good AU teams and now they are a little light on his talent is being questioned.

I'd be happier for us to unearth another Lewis Miller, another solid game by the young man against Victory.

He's played a lot of games and minutes for Adelaide over the last few years and they haven't been a struggling club. On top of that they were happy to extend his deal in October. I just don't see how all of a sudden he's not an A league standard player unless he's got something going on or just doesnt click with this new coach at all, both of which may be able to be addressed with a move.

Can play LB or LW/RW so that opens up options for us if Oar is outbound or we just want more cover in the squad. If nothing else I think it would be worth talking to him about what's going on atm.
