Mariners Squad 2023/2024

That's why I will never get a players name on any shirt I buy.

You tell lies. I know you have a Trott shirt.

 

[marinermick]

At least if you get Kuol on your shirt you get a few runs at it! ?

And look like a genius when Didi Kuol comes through the ranks.

Should have got Pain on a shirt from his era. That still holds up after he left

 

[Wombat]

I’m with you, I wouldn’t be concerned if he left in Jan. Has underachieved in my opinion and I don’t see him making it.

I definitely see him making it. Talent you can't coach into someone and he has that in spades already. He just needs to learn the fundamentals.

That's old school club support and good on you

 

[Hello Sailor]

and that it is a team sport

Step over your way to an impossible angle and shoot instead of passing to unmarked team mates?
That's my Theo.

 

[BrisRecky]

Theo, Theo, his our stepover man, if cant shoot , someone unmarked can...if he passes the f**king ball to 'em

That's my Theo.

But only after slowing the momentum of the attack and allowing defenders to recover. Doesnt matter so long as it looks good on his highlight reel.

Only concern is MJ is talking about replacing Tulio internally with youth, and maybe looking at bringing someone in during the Jan window.

I actually think we will recruit, but it either it's too early/cagey to say anything yet or there is no one on the radar yet

My biggest concern is not losing Tulio. Since Niz has moved forward our attack goes more through Niz, Faz and Angel. Tulio is still good for the showboating and baiting opposition players as well as taking penalties but we are not as reliant on him as we were (and he has looked better for it).

I do want to hold Faz and Niz though - both of which I can see going (and both of which deserve the chance).

Tulios skill is at least a distraction to other teams. They need to mark him hard. His leaving makes it easier for other teams to tag Niz and kick Angel.

Is whoever goes on that wing going to be a solid contributor.? Miguel isnt there just yet. Theo, lolz. DWH, hasn't shown anything. Maybe Jing.

no no, its a Andrew Hoole shirt ...innit?

 

[Paolo]

Monty gunning for Faz, but might be priced out from interest in England

I will give you a $1 for it Dave. Always need spare rags.

 

[Ironbark]

We know we've lost Tulio but I do think we can absorb it. I worried when we lost Garang where those extra goals would come from and we found them.

More concerned now if Niz and Faz go as well. Lose all three and I have serious concerns.
Happy for them both to move on to bigger and better things in the off season when we can recruit and have a pre season...but now would be a heavy blow

Di Pizzo preferred spot is 10 and plays killer balls too but doesn’t have the drive of Niz but he is a possible replacement at least and fits the club model. I doubt a drop off but at least a viable option.

We have nothing on the right wing right now. Theo is a left wing and so is Torres. We really need a proper right winger and one with speed would be a bonus.

Steele Tapp and Balard can all handle the middle if Niz went but he is showing how important a few years experience in the league is.

Faz seems hardest to replace out of the 3. We know all 3 are almost impossible to replace directly.

In the coverage glen Lauder said he spoke to faz pre game and asked what 2024 had installed for him after a great 2023 and he said Faz said he had ambition to play overseas but while ever he is a mariner he is committed to the club.

On top of pod and your comments looks like could be next one out

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Am I to understand from watching the keepers warm up that there is still no goalkeeper coach?

The 3 of them were on their own with no coaching staff involved. Miguel was always there driving things along.

Sorry. Mick is correct. Trottys GF1 shirt I won at auction (I think)

 

[pjennings]

With Ben Cahn just announced as Roar manager we need to lock up Niz now. Otherwise he may go back to Qld on a free
