Mariners Squad - HAL 12 - 2016 - 2017

[Wombat]

Yeah. Pretty solid keeper. Good one Manny.

 

[Big Al]

Is Jamie Young available after this season? He's been very decent for the Roar when given the opportunity behind Theo.
Arnie passed up on him, ripped up our no dickheads policy and took Reddy instead...

He signed a 2yr extension in 2016, so not technically available
Also doesn't suit the Mariners charter but a good keeper is worth more than a selling fee

Would have him, was surprised Theo got back in personally

 

[Wombat]

Our charter is a pile of shit. Bottom last year and close again this year. Rip that shit up and sign some decent players.
That should be the new charter......are you good enough...... not are you cheap enough or desperate enough.

I'm struggling to think of an Aussie keeper that is unattached or likely to be unattached. Australia keeping stocks are probably at a fairly low ebb, Maybe we need to look at a visa player if Izzo goes but I'd be loathe to do that.

EDIT- We do NOT want that piece of shit Covic.

 

[FFC Mariner]

No one buys young players from the team at or near the bottom.

 

[dibo]

Caceres. We were bottom at the time.

 

[Tevor]

We are the club that offers a chance to play in the first team, most number two keepers would give us a thought purely on that opportunity. Galloway's article said it all last week, best move he has made in his career so far. There could be some gems out there waiting to get their chance. Look at Izzo if he didn't leave Adelaide he would still be number 2 and only now getting a chance with Eugene's injury. I heard Eugene may go to City as he wants to become a coach and City offers more global opportunities than staying at AU.

If Izzo wants to go so be it. Yeah he copped abuse last year - because he played like sh*t.
Under pressure, I get that.
BUT - we also stuck with him and kept giving him a shot. Any other keeper would have been on the bench or not in the squad at all the next week. Yet despite his constant mistakes we continued to give him a go. He should be thankful that the club backed him and gave him the opportunity to be an actual first team keeper.

You play badly and the fans will tell you. It's professional sport, suck it up.
The club continues to back you and you should be immensely thankful.
Leave out of spite - bugger off then

The exception that proves the rule.

That's a stupid saying - the proof that your statement is wrong does not in any way prove your point.

 

[Atomic]

I've always wondered about that saying "The exception that proves the rule"... I've never been able to come up with a plausible example of where it would be applicable (even though I've used it many times to mask an error in my own judgement).

You don't work in financial services do you .

No, that would test even my capacity for gushing torrents of bullshit.

the Jets are competing with Western Sydney Wanderers, Adelaide and the Mariners for his signature.

O'Donovan's agent Paddy Dominguez said he had "an awful lot of options on the table and is working through them".

"That includes Central Coast, obviously," he added. "He's not in any great rush to make a decision and is flattered by the level of interest.

End of article says jets are keeping Kokko, why would they want Roy and Kokko unless going to play a 442 like Perth

Fitzgerald and Austin.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Fitzgerald and Austin.

Reddy

 

[FFC Mariner]

Both demanded a release and went for nothing.
Fitzgerald was one of Reddy's mates.

That'll hurt if he goes to Jets....he'll be public enemy number one.

Probably just the agent trying to drive up his price though

 

[FFC Mariner]

Shaun on the pod pretty well admitting that player(s) have signed for other clubs.

I think that's probably Izzo to Adelaide. Mystery injury before we play them I wonder?

From Roy at training?
If this is the case they'd certainly want to keep it under wraps as long as possible, because he's going to cop it from the fans.
