Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[pjennings]

Paul Izzo, Storm Roux, Nick Montgomery and Trent Buhagiar in Mark Bosnich team of the week.

I actually thought that Roux, while having a good game was probably our weakest starter.

Personally I would say Pain (not his fault was completely shutdown by Risdon) and Storm had some good moments but I certainly wouldn't have put him in my team of the week.

Roux nearly cost us the game twice. Dont rely on Fox for any intelligent insight...they are clueless.

Update on Facundo Alcacer: He will play in the Victorian Premier League for the rest of the season, but is still working on signing with us for next season. He expresses his next biggest desire is to 'defend the Central Coast club' and 'has all the affection for the club'.

Apparently will be with St Albans Saints - Tom Pondeljak's first and final club

Looking at St Albans' squad they look to have one of the weakest heading into the NPLV season it will be interesting to see how they go.

Reply - I couldn't find the current squad - but they have signed Jean Carlos Solórzano

Oops appears I was reading an older one. Found a more recent list looks like he will be fighting Nick Kalmar for attacking midfielder.

Ha! God knows we could do with all the 'defending' we can get.

If it's going to come in the form of a 5ft number 10...
so be it.

(Assuming he wants 'fight' or 'do battle' for us.)

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

I might head down for a few games to see how he goes. If he can handle the physicality in the NPL he should be up to the A-League.

Okon said he hoped to add more bodies to the squad before the transfer window closes on Wednesday.

“There’s every chance, there’s not been much movement in the whole A-League market so far but we’re continuing to look at it,” he said.

They can't even get the score right!

I heard that a radio station reported a rumour of us looking at Danny de Silva...anybody know anything about that?

There was a bit of chatter last week - consensus seems to be that he is likely to return to Perth though
Would be pretty exceptional if not...

 

[sydmariner]

He's at perth but he's out with a groin strain.

Bozza also said Trent was playing as a No. 10 which he wasn't.

He what?

Loved Bozza when he came back, he had been humbled by his fall and was insightful and a great ambassador for the league.

Since then he's steadily fallen into egoism, always championing a cause and over dramatising things, lacks clarity... corrupted by fox croneyism and his cohorts/ fox pundits tribe low average IQ. A league punditry needs a serious over haul. I find the analysis sub par and that it genuinely diminishes the product.

These guys give everyone a hard time when they under perform... yet they're worse than even our referees. Only a handful of good ones among them.

Look at McBreen, you get an honest, non egotistical ex footballer in, and the difference in quality is palpable.

Archie Thompson demonstrates their hiring policy, the bigger ego the better. Every single sentence he says is about himself or Victory. If you're watching a game where Victory are playing someone and he is commentating (and he normally is) you can forget about any semblance of balanced coverage.

Nick Montgomery makes the A-League website's team of the week with Fabio Ferreria on the the bench:
