Haine Eames apprenticeship just got promoted from sweeping up the dirt too on the tools

Good luck to the kid. This is why you come to the Mariners because we will trust in you. Needs to bulk up but I can see the promise that had a few clubs chasing him

At 16 he can't be pushed too hard physically, going to be interesting

How old were Harry Kewell or Bresch when they made their debut in NSL.
Genuine question

Harry never played in the NSL. He went to Leeds as a 15yo. His Dad is English and i believed he stayed with family over there.
He played for Leeds Youth and broke into the first team at 17yo. He was a prodigious talent.

Bresciano played for Carlton at 17yo. More of a slow burner but he ended playing 250 odd Serie A games (after originally going to Serie B) ...no mean feat for an Aussie.

Why does the club love waiting so long before announcing injuries? They never even really explained Theo. I know of at least one more unannounced injury they haven't mentioned too.

We're bare bones.
Surely we need some reinforcements now?

I've no idea how insurance money works, but surely 12 Months of Tapps salary, 6 months of Miggsys salary and 4 months of Trent salary is a decent chunk of cash?

But you also need free agents that are available and that can hit the ground running. How long will it take to get them on board, gel with the team, make a decent contribution vs when will MDP and Trent be back. Tappy obviously a longer term. Window opening in January may give us more options.

This is because the clubs don't have to report on injuries, the extent of them, recovery details, likelihood of a return date etc, as in other leagues - or at least other codes in Australia. So then they consider this information a national secret that must be as closely guarded as possible.

It's more relevant to the gambling overlords in NRL.

Yellow cards isn't contingent upon which players take the field 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can they do an insurance claim and collect the money without seeking a replacement?

MacArthur FC?.

MacArthur FC?.

Doesn't matter which players though.. just the number that gets them.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Can they do an insurance claim and collect the money without seeking a replacement?

I expect so. The insurance money isn't profit as the injured player still gets paid.
It just allows the cash to pay a replacement

An 'unreal' A-Leagues origin story you need to hear: 'I gave up, honestly'

The Central Coast Mariners forward spoke to aleagues.com.au amid his impressive start to life with the reigning Isuzu UTE A-League champions.

[Meerkat]

In all seriousness.. how low can we go here?

Zero disrespect to Noah Smith, Will Wilson etc but it’s pretty safe to say they aren’t making the team sheet by choice. For whatever reason, they were not favoured. Jacko is running out of men.

Who else is behind them, given we are dropping like flies?

Who else is injured that we don’t know about?

Where can we draw from outside of the NPL season?

DeLima & Duarte are the ones that have that bit of quality next in line, but I think Duarte is the injured one not named and maybe Delima is as well as I though we would see his name on the sheet for some minutes?

 

[Ironbark]

My understanding, due for an update, is that De Lima is close, maybe a couple of weeks away.
Duarte (ankle) probably the rest of the year. Could be ready to return similar time to Sains in January.

As with all things injury these are timelines and may change or be inaccurate.

Also heard that they were now considering up to 2 injury replacements, but have no idea if that means from the academy, NPL, loans, or from where, or for how long, or even if it will definitely actually happen. Word is that it's on the cards though.

Duarte (ankle) probably the rest of the year.

That's horribly unlucky both for the club and him personally with Kuol and Edmo out of form. Felt like there was a real chance to stake his claim.

New S&C guy looking worse as the injury count rises. Can't all be him but its not a good look after how well we carried last season. Still not as criminal as whatever is going on at City though.

 

[shipwreck]

OK this is f**ked, that's what, 6 dudes out for injury now?

Questions gotta be asked, I'm sorry but that is unacceptable in a professional football club.

It literally happens all the time in pro football.
