Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[Big Al]

? ? is that deliberate BA? I can't remember what you think of Walmsley.

No just laziness. Don't really have an opinion on him.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Club would have been very foolish to keep him on.

Struggling Mariners lose their
grip on Anderson

http://centraltelegraph.com.au/news/struggling-mariners-lose-their-grip-on-anderson/2596916/

Is this guy for real? He's our worst defender. He's also a bad team mate. After roar's third he knew what was coming and he played "sick boy". He abandoned ship while it was sinking. I believe it was bs. There was nothing wrong with him. Offers from around the world? Maybe a team from the 3rd division in Mongolia. Zac, your full of shit. Just leave mate and be thankful that you've ever got to play first grade football. You would struggle to get a spot in a NPL side. I believe you're a law student. Stick to it or pursue a career in modelling which is what you always do while playing. An advise to the Central Telegraph: This belongs to the session of fictional articles.

One things for sure...it will be an interesting off season. At this rate we will need about 10 new players, a coach, assistant coach(Hutch?)....... On Ando, not sure about all the stories, he seems a decent guy but hasn't been able to take his chance when given and i'm not convinced he will ever be a starting player for us. We need better CB's if we are to compete next season. Two CB's who would get into most other A league sides and two strikers capable of scoring 10 plus a season are the absolutely minimum for me.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Two strikers capable of scoring 5 each would be better than what we have right now. In fact 5 between them would be something.

[pjennings]

Pretty well spot on except Cairncross at 25 is too old for the youth side so I would suggest that he won't make the squad next year

Opens up the squad for a big turnover

Pandurevic, Slater, Bingham I would try to place at Everton.

Nash might take a GK coaching role with the Academy and Youth depending on how big JC's involvement with the Socceroos becomes.

Sim is contracted for another year so we would need to place him somewhere
Bosnar, Griffiths, Morton, Simon and Major are all off contract.
Hutch is retiring

Leaves us with 15 players and plenty of room.

Reddy, Neill, Rose, Poscoliero, Roux, Montgomery, Caceres, Kalik, McGing, Trifiro, L. Rose, Vernes, Fitzgerald, Ferriera, Cernak

We need on top of them, 1 GK, 3 CB, 1 RB, 1 LW, 2 experienced CS, 2 young CS and a Marcos or Kim replacement.

FWTravis Major. Youth player.

Turned 25 on 1/1/15 no longer a Youth Player, and anyway, as pj says above he was only on a contract until the end of this season.

23 MFIsaka Cernak.....keep as squaddie.

Your irreverent view on Cernak has been expressed before and I disagree. imo Cernak has shown enough to be regarded as a starter, and not just a squaddie.

 

[localpom]

The off season will be more entertaining than the actual season i think.

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Travis Major is also too old for youth setup. He is 25 already.

 

[MagpieMariner]

The off season will be more entertaining than the actual season i think.

Certainly more than this season!

Watching paint dry is more entertaining than this season was

This is the best thing ever.

With respect.....that shows your lack of Football acumen.
All show and no go could be one description.....as in he tries hard but lacks the X factor. Matty and Dukey could both be accused of lacking polish in the final third but both players are far superior to Cernak imho.
If I was being harsh I would cut him but feel he worked hard enough and did enough (1 goal?) to get another season as a useful squad player.

I'm in the Cernak camp. I think he has that X factor, has ability to beat players and get behind defences, can score goals,tracks back and defends, good team player, right age, will improve with a decent pre season and games. Still a bit raw and isn't a first team certainty for next season if we recruit well but has definately done enough IMO to get a new contract.

 

[dibo]

He's 26, came on with leaps and bounds this year, I can't imagine why he wouldn't be given a chance. We re-signed Fitzgerald for two years, and I'm less convinced by his performances this year than Cernak. And Matt Sim is on for another year, Trifiro for another two. The only logic I can see for not signing Cernak is that we don't have space for middling standard players, but the fault there is more with the players we've already locked in rather than Cernak himself. At the moment I'd have him for another year ahead of Sim or Fitz.

agreed. in fact i think with a working team structure and some confidence in the players around him and the X might just start leaping out of him

Thanks for the respect. Yep, I do lack the lifelong football knowledge that you're always saying you have ....

I *know* that we'll do well this season. But, my tip for a flyer this season is MV

Yes, I was wrong about us. But cheeze, I don't want to beat my own drum, on Sep 18, 2014 I said that my tip for a flyer this season is MV.

3 games to go for MV, Jets, home game for MV, gotta get 3 points for that, Roar, away game for MV, probably get 3 for that as well, and last round CCM at AAMI, they'll be lucky to get away with a draw for that one to finish the season. They'll get the top spot all right. Especially if PG are penalised points. Nah, I've got no football acumen at all.

We could help out Perth by taking Thwaite and Keogh off their hands...
