Mariners Squad 2024/2025 ALM and ACL Elite

[Wombat]

Harrison Delbridge, Johnathan Aspropotamitis, Lachlan Jackson and Aaron Calver are all getting limited to no minutes in Korea if we want a centre back on loan. Tass Mourdoukoutas season has just finished in Canada. NPL options could be Michael Glassock, Themba Muata-Marlow, Adrian Vlastelica, Ben Collins, Cameron Windust, Jake Marshall.

If we want a midfielder Zach Duncan's season just finished in the USL, same with Jesse Daley in Canada. NPL options would be Hamish Gow, Yitay Towns, George Mells, Mitch Hore, Steve Whyte, Kristian Trajcevski, Birkan Kirdar.

For an attacker Panos Armenakas and Pacifique Niyongabirie seasons have just wrapped up in America as well.

Aspro can get stuffed.

In addition to those mentioned, Jimmy Bayliss would be an interesting option.

He was a solid prospect. Hopefully he is over his injury woes.

Excellent shout Mr Prior 😎

Lachie Wales seems to be on the outer in Korea.
I’d take him back in a heart beat. Versatile and good quality. We need reinforcements.

That is a very good call. We really need someone to set the strikers up and that's exactly what he does.

 

[Corsair]

Possibly another post you are replying to then and not mine?

Regardless, let’s see how long until Herrington and Eames are injured and see how far the well goes. I’m personally not going to celebrate their golden opportunities without adequate replacements sitting behind them on the bench.

It's not an optical illusion, that glass really is half full 😜

I don't mind someone trying to see the positives in adversity. It's a bad situation but unless you're close to the action or have an inside track it's not really fair to speculate on the fitness staff's ability. I will grant you there's a whiff about it though....

Johnathan Aspropotamitis

He can f**k himself after the way he left.

 

[Corsair]

Working under a shit coach like Vidmar?

I hadn't realised it was just a training camp 'out west' thought they'd be off overseas. In which case yeah and just pray no injuries...

Pass

Pass

Yes we definitely need someone who can pass too.

Not unless our strikers start to bust themselves in the box and attack things. Could have KDB pulling the strings but if the stickers don't make runs and get across defenders we won't score goals.

Agree, I feel they have had service and haven’t taken advantage of it.

The service isn't always great. But standing waiting for it doesn't help. It's not easy to pick out a static target amongst a crowd.

Sometimes the run turns an ordinary pass into a great one.

 

[Ironbark]

At least we'll get stronger as the season goes with returning players. Our fringe players will be better for the early season opportunities and we'll have better depth than we otherwise would have.

Won't matter for ACL but the home comp is my preference anyway.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Yes we definitely need someone who can pass too.

Maybe one that we haven't already knocked back at least once.

Oh for sure, A few others from that academy class that dropped into NPL (but were definitely good enough for aleague) would also be good options.

Yep, the service has gotten better week on week but they ain’t doing enough to get on the end of it. Hopefully that can change today.

I'm not really sure what your point is other than you think our strikers aren't up to snuff....so stop passing to them? I think Edmo makes good runs, his finishing is hit and miss though.

 

[Michael]

We famously very nearly got him before. Would be a great signing if at all possible.

I’m sure Jacko knows we need a couple reinforcements and possible upgrades on under performing players/players he doesn’t rate. And I’m even more sure Simmo is already on the hunt.
There may be some cap space available given Sains and Tappy are long term outs that should be covered by insurance.

I'm saying they could do better with their runs in the box.

Edmo runs the channel really well when we are playing from deep and we don't look for it nearly enough (his second GF goal) but when our wide guys are high he and alou seem to lack that desire to make something happen.

It's not a coincidence that Berisha or McLaren scored a shed load. They make runs in the box.

It's not rocket surgery 🤷🏻‍♂️
