ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
Storm - the younger (he'd love that) has to motor up and down the flanks. Completely different requirement to what Trent needs. If you need to compare then Storm and Brian are the same age - compare him with Brian. No-one is questioning whether Brian will play a full game.
Even in the ALM - Perth apparently were very keen.
I think too much was being read into my questions. I genuinely want to know if he was getting plenty of game with his last club as I hope he CAN play full games for us. Previously there was talk about Paull and Diesel getting plenty of minutes [as well as playing three at the back where Storm wasn't mentioned] and I think Brian making way for either Paull or Diesel would be brave. On the other hand the young guys DO need to develop and need game time. Maybe give them game time when we are several goals up.
Played 90 the majority of the time, 29 games across all comps in the last campaign.Trent Sainsbury - Stats 23/24 (Detailed view)

Too much to drink? Also he was a youth player there
This is not a fair comparison. Brian is the fastest and most physical player in the squad. Storm has recovered from a major injury and is not the genetic beast Brian is. However, Storm has huge balls and infinite determination. Both pillars of the squad.
I meant compare Trent to Brian as they are similar age and play a similar position
100%
The effect of this signing on the membership and the draw of casuals can't be understated. From a community perspective this is a massive signing, before a ball is even kicked.
I think the biggest aspect is the statement of intent. You could look at our squad and across the league and think well distributions are down so it’s competitive but nothing incredible and you’d forgive the clubs for not extending themselves. To go out and sign a player of his quality and notoriety says we want to give this thing a proper go.
I agree, but we've only got one.
Perth is never an option. Makes Brisbane look cosmopolitan
Paull and Diesel are fine, I don’t know but the feeling I get is.. we needed a big player, no matter the position, for the ACL. We needed atleast one player who is genuinely a cut above. I can’t take my hat off hard enough to applaud the club getting this one done. But it’s also got me dreaming of one more super impressive signing we could make happen…
No he doesn't yet...
