Mariners squad HAL 10 ~ 2014/15

[dibo]

I'm not entirely sure that is good news.

It's good news if we're sure he's the best value left back we could get between now and the end of the 2016/7 season. Or if we think he's going to transition to CB and be our best value option there.

I'm not sure of either of those. I may well be wrong, but I'm just not sure.

The other option is further up on the left.

 

[Roy Law]

I am very pleased at the news; Rose staying is much more positive than Rose leaving. He has let no one down and in this difficult year has been one of our most consistent players. Just as the Mariners have a deserved reputation for developing and progressing young players they also are very good at maintaining their veterans. Look at the influence of Hutchinson and Montgomery; or Sterjovski and McBreen. Apparently Rose has been a significant support to Micky Neill; we need the leadership of players like Rose not just for his performance on the field but also off it. He is a great clubman, he must be in the running for POTY, and he deserves this contract extension.

 

[scottmac]

Yep good decision. Neill hasn't lasted even half a season without being injured so we most definitley need a starting left back other than Neill.

 

[Big Al]

Mickey Neill might be injury prone (more luck than anything) and josh has shown he can cover at CB. So could be good reliable cover as well as recognisable face in the playing group which fans need some guys they know who they are and are good club men. He is one of those.
I don't think he has been great last year or this year but has looked better in last couple games back on the left.

Mickey also has a lot to learn. While promising has plenty of floors and apart from age and promise he is not better than Rose IMO

Moss also hinted at an eexperienced goalscorer being added to the roster in the near future.

“It’s now about trying to bring in a really established performer at senior football level and someone who is going to create and score goals for us.”

Won't cut it this time around. Great for the team on any day but game day. Bit like Hutch. He'll have a few moments but won't score 10.

We need someone new. Bit younger, unknown, take people by surprise.

Who could it be??

Might explain his improvement in form though. IMO he was pretty average at the start of the season.

Soccer Stoppage time reporting that Hutch will not be given a contract next year and Monty will get a 2 year extension. Very sad if true. Hopefully the club can keep him on in another support role. I guess it had to come at some point with so much potential coming through like Liam Rose.

SST keeps on breaking all the local A-League news with confirmation that Central Coast Mariners FC Captain John Hutchinson told his services will no longer be required at season end.

 

[scottmac]

I don't think it would have happened that way but wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong.
Hutch won't leave the club & the club would be f**ked in the head if they let him walk away. It is time for him to move to the next chapter but.

 

[Capt. Awesome]

They also posted this:

@SocStoppageTime: Thoughts of a post football career were dashed for the Club stalwart. #unfair

Hopefully untrue. Although I did see an interview a while back where Hutch said he wanted to get into coaching and to one day coach the Mariners but that he would probably have to leave the club and get experience before coming back so this might have something to do with it.

 

[shipwreck]

Hmmm

 

[VicMariner]

Hutch has to remain at the club in some capacity.

 

[Capt. Awesome]

Plot thickens:

@BennyONeill: Don't believe everything agents post on their Facebook & Twitter accounts. #CCMFC

Training with Broadmeadow atm

 

[Capt. Awesome]

@BennyONeill Definitely there are plans for him to remain with the Club. I spoke to Mossy this morning - he’s clear on that.


Good.

 

[pjennings]

I'd love to see 2 testimonial matches between a Mariners XI and a Victory XI played here and at AAMI for Hutch and Archie after the season's commitments are over. Hutch has been the Mariners and Archie has been Victory. They both deserve the recognition.
