Mariners Squad - HAL 14 - 2018- 2019 - The challenge for Mike Mulvey is over

[Kalvin]

After we get knocked out of the cup then?

At least it will be a nice change to be knocked out rd1 by an actual a league team!!!

Amazingly -
with several roster spots available, a decent chunk of cap money to spend, a DDS saga and a random possible Bot trial -
it has been a very quiet few weeks/month in terms of anything actually happening.
Bought a couple of youth/NPL/ex-players and that's it.
MUST be on the cusp of some exciting signing news. If not we're in for a seriously underwhelming season

Yep definitely agree, getting more and more worrying.
There must be something in the works but also something holding it all back.
I know we are a couple months away but it’d be nice to have atleast 22players for the majority of pre season to be raring to go. Especially the crucial visa spots get them here, settled in and fit.

The news isn’t ALL bad ................. somehow we managed to not swoop on mitch nichols.

 

[Rowdy]

We werent even a 'sniff' of a chance of signing him.

- fails the 'No Dickhead' policy .... easily

I'm not sure why people keep bringing this so called policy up. It may have existed in the mind of one person but it really isn't a thing.

 

[FFC Mariner]

DDS, Hoole etc etc. I think we can safely say that the no DH policy is dead and buried.

 

[centre mid]

Not to forget the snake of all dickheads, Roy....

Never let a fact stand in the way of a funny retort

I’m not concerned yet, still a lot to do for most clubs. Happy to wait for good recruits as long as they eventually come which I believe they will.

August is a big month for us recruitment wise and progressing in the FFA Cup. It either gives us hope we are in for a decent season, or more of the same.

I have to admit that of August is the big month for us, we're staring down the barrel of more of the same. I mentioned two months ago that I was chin deemed that we were headed for another preseason with late panic signings at the last minute. That's bad enough in itself bit of we see them again it'll potentially be via signings to. This is starting to feel very shaky I think :-(

Can't believe a Cahill rumour hasn't taken off with him being in Avoca this weekend and all.

He’s finally abit too old now I reckon, full retirement could be imminent. He was just watching a mate that plays for Avoca, he was here doing something promotional otherwise (I think)
We need our main striker to be late 20s/early 30s. Although Timmy does fit the determined fighter attitude.

It did, it was published somewhere

 

[Offsider]
