Mariners Squad - HAL 13 - 2017- 2018

Can anyone with an eagle eye pick out who was wearing the armband against victory from the goal videos on fb?

 

[Coastalraider]

Couldn't see on iPhone, but the one person that isnt being mentioned for the armband is Baro. Hasn't he been wearing it all preseason?

Yah he definitely had it against Wellington which was basically our first full strength run out but no Roux in the starting 11 who had the armband against Blacktown. If Baro had it while roux was on the field in this game then it has to be him

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Wout seems obvious on paper, but he has not been in the group/sheds very long. This may tip it toward Baro. I think either of those are the two logical choices unless there are issues around communication or personality.

SBS reporting Okon thinks DDS is a world cup bolter ...

[Wombat]

A Marquee Number 10??

We have one.

 

[Wombat]

If wet get a marquee is got to be a right side winger who scores and creates chances. Take some pressure off DeSilva and Asdrubal.

Not needed. Hoole looks the goods. Will prove to be an excellent accisition and i'm tipping will gets more goals and assists than Pain.

 

[Wombat]

I'm thinking Wouts gonna have the armband, which will suit me just fine , of course , they may very well name Stormy since he has seasons at the club under his belt

Capt should be one of the best players and a natural leader and communicator. He should be a great reader of the game. All of these remove Storm from the equation.
Let him focus on getting his own game right and fulfilling the excellent potential he has.

 

[Wombat]

Given it's a fortnight from kickoff I'd say captain announcement as well.

Roux, Brama, Baro, Hiariej in the mix I'd imagine, anyone else I'm missing? Rosey?

I'd say its between Baro and Brama.

 

[Rowdy]

In the Wellington game at Pluim, Brama seemed to be the one doing all the talking to the idiot referee as well as rushing in when things looked like kicking off between players and getting in Nix faces - pointing fingers etc.

As for Baro being in the sheds longer
..... sheeesh .... it's both of their's first season.

Team mates respect & follow a good leader & we've got the looks of a few to choose from now with these new signings, whomever is the best should get the job.

 

[Rowdy]

My money i$ on Brama.

DM's, imo tend to be a good position for a Capt. to come from, due to their central positioning for both
- getting in the ear of the referee and
- for motivating his players both in front & behind.

 

[sydmariner]

I hope that Josh Rose is named captain.

 

[Tevor]

I hope that Josh Rose is named captain.

He is not a definite starter every week.

 

[Gratis]

I would have thought Baro or Brama with Hiariej an outsider before the match at pluim.

by half-time at pluim I thought Brama was a given. he was vocal, provided constant direction and regularly in the refs ear

Tom and Baro were both high quality players, impressing more than I'd even hoped in truth, but both were pretty quiet verbally.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

Interview with Tom Hiariej starting at 21:00

 

[Gratis]

Captain: Baro

Very happy with that

 

[BaysideMariner]

Was he softly spoken or did they have technical difficulties?

 

[Big Al]

Was he softly spoken or did they have technical difficulties?

2nd mic was lower but a couple of players spoke louder or into the mic better but yes did seem softly spoken. Also while can speak English doing so in front of a crowd maybe a little intimidating for him

 

[MagpieMariner]

Don't both of our Nederlanders speak great English? Hope their play matches their speech.
I like the height at the back, Golec, Rowles & Gloveman all look 6-1/2 feet.
In case you may wonder, today was the first time I've seen them in real life.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

Man, Baro looks a bit like Vinnie Jones, doesn't he?
Happy with the captain choice.
I'm so excited about this season I'm actually going to get Fox Sports this time round instead of just relying on crap internet streams!!
