Mariners Squad - HAL 11 - 2015/2016

[Wombat]

Maclaren would be a good fit for us and relatively cheap.

 

[pjennings]

I'd love Wilko to come back but won't be holding my breath.

CBs of Wilkinson, Galloway (Everton), Poscoliero and Candell-Sherriff certainly look a lot more solid than Poscoliero, Bosnar, Anderson and Griffiths.

Galloway debuted for the Toffees last night. Hard to see him coming here on loan now.

Can we get Osman as a Marquee?

Wasn't expecting that. The most and maybe only logical choice and hopefully he can drive us on to finals football again next year. All the best Monty.

I guess a harder decision will be the vice captain?

Rose?

 

[MagpieMariner]

Depends on what kind of vice you're talking about.

 

[localpom]

Rose?

Not sure Rosey will be a guaranteed starter at LB if Micky Neill is fit but would do a good job. Maybe as a LM? I wouldn't mind giving it to one of the younger players to give them more responsibilty, maybe Caceres?

If Archie can't came to an agreement with victory. I'd happily have a 36 year old striker at lower minimum wage with bonuses at 10, 15 and 20 goals. A Morwell old boy that Hutch would have a connection with.

For sure! Would love Archie here and he would be better off been the main man here than warming the bench at MVFC.

IMO the two best strikers we have had were Damian Mori and John Aloisi both over 35 when we signed em... then theirs Macka's golden year ... so an older Archie would not worry me.

The 2 best strikers that we ever had were Mcbreen & Simon.

Surely you jest.
Mori is (or was until recently, so I read somewhere) the scorer of most goals for Australia, Aloisi also scored plenty for Australia, including THAT penalty and also the sealing goal for Australia's first ever World Cup finals win. They both performed just as effectively for us in the short periods we had them. Neither McBreen or Simon actually played for Australia, or if they did they certainly didn't score.
McBreen had one stellar season for us, after a couple of seasons of dross (I'm sure I wasn't the only one calling him McUseless); Matty worked very hard for us, I'll give him that, but best striker? His first season he couldn't hit the ground if he fell off a horse. After that, his best times with us were alongside Sasho and then alongside McBreen. On his own, I could count his goals on the fingers of my left foot. Yes, I exaggerate a bit there, but best striker no, even though I love the guy to pieces.

mwahahaha

 

[Roy Law]

I think Matty Simon played for the Socceroos against Kuwait in Canberra; we lost 0-1. At the time he went off to try his luck in Asia he was matching Berisha for goals scored; he was in the best form of his life. I don't think though that he was ever our best striker.

With Spider Kalac leaving Sydney, what are the chances that Arnie will plunder the coaching stocks of the Mariners and take John Crawley?

I will take a wild guess that they will sign Covic. I hope so anyway.
