Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[Big Al]

Looked exciting but was taking on 2-3 defenders a couple of times but caused trouble. Hard to judge off short time but might need to keep his head up more and watch out for his teammates

Rhus was never a no1 striker. His best work is finishing off the work of others. He can’t hold the ball up or create. Needs open space. DHW is similar in that sense but is more likely to dribble around someone or into space and way more likely for an assist

Olayinka Sunmola announced in the squad for Roar tomorrow...anyone know anything about him?!

Only that his name looks like a bad hand in Scrabble…..

He was fantastic in the NPL game last week, shows a lot of promise actually.

Some stats from previous seasons;

Highlights of the last NPL game, not an ideal result though but still early as it was the first match of the season.

Probs not the best during the season.

They need to work hard to show they're the best pick or their positions. I like it!!

Came off the bench for the second half of the academy game at the weekend, picked him up from Mt Druitt. Young, energetic, and quick number 9 who also looks like he could play wide. Got into some good positions at the weekend. Very, very raw.

Yeah looks the goods physically but missed a point blank brilliant chance just after he came on. Won’t judge him from that, see how he develops. Always good seeing new youth make match squads.

 

[Ironbark]

Low odds he'll make the field today anyway, more likely just exposing him to the first team prep and environment. You never know though. No doubt a cameo at some point soon

I don't like guys missing games with serious knocks. Especially guys who are starting xi.

Neither do I, but they're professional athletes, mate. they need to show what they've got or risk not being picked.

Theres a vast difference in actions here.

I wasn't there to watch them, mate. Were they reckless or was it just an unfortunate accident from training?

Random question, is Ken Schembri still at the club or did he end up retiring?

Retired (pushed out by our illustrious benefactor).

Very poor treatment of a great club man, showing him scant respect for his efforts behind the scenes in recent years imho.

One hundred percent. His absence is very noticeable.

Exactly why I asked the question. Anyone know if he was replaced?

Bernal is doing his role.

Ken just didn't have the "vibe manager" tag

 

[Michael]

Didn’t the club basically convince Ken to not retire to help us out for a little longer? He was due anyway, can’t begrudge a bloke for that. It’s a massive shame if it didn’t happen smoothly though.
