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

[Antlion]

If Plan A doesn't work, and doing Plan A better doesn't work, there is always Plan a, Plan eigh and Plan Ay up the sleeve

 

[MagpieMariner]

Also Plan à, plan á, plan â or plan ã.

 

[Pirate Pete]

I hope not, unless he learns to have more plans than A.

I'd love to see him at SFC.

I'd love to see him at SFC.

I’d rather have him @ scum

. i think Brama got through more of the Monty-type work than people realise
. but he didn't have the Monty-type leadership some expected
. probably because he was used to having more talent around him

. apparently he was surprised 'we' signed him and Tom
. yes they were different but similar enough considering how desperately we needed talent elsewhere on the park

. i have also heard that he was an instigator for the club's 'discussions' with Okon
. tactical frustrations were added to everything else including biased refereeing

. so i don't think he was here for a footballing holiday but i don't think he was able to carry the burden expected off him ... and this is what has led to peoples' disappointment
. was that due to his own lack of professionalism? i'd suggest it was more to do with the professionalism of those around him (players, coaches and officials)
. was he a loose cannon? i think his frustrations eventually got the better of him ... admittedly that is merely an excuse, but i think things could have been very different if, for example, he had have joined us this year

Great post BG.

Anyone know what’s going on with O’Neil? Injured? And if so for how long?

Should be good for some minutes this week, either against Macarthur SouthWest United Whatever FC on Friday, or in the upcoming behind closed doors game.

Interesting he says he sees McCormack more as a number 10 than a striker. Might be a hint he will play him and Simon in the same team. Going to ba a massive fight for places in the midfield.

I think some said he played a little deeper against the wolves so clear intention already shown.

No Mariners selected for the Young Socceroos, Peter Kekeris and Joe Gauci surely a little unlucky not to be in:

Why? One came from NPL2 and the other from SAPL. Both have not proven themselves beyond this lower tier football.

Neither have others selected and one of the keepers selected has only played NPLV 2.

Delianov played NYL last season, was part of the Australian Under 17s squad and has been in the youth set up for yonks; while Dragicevic played 22 matches for Sydney's NPL1 team this season. To me that seems ahead of the pecking order for Gauci.

Now I don't know these keepers from a bar of soap but I think the unlucky tag is a bit rich because I am sure you don't know them either.

Really cool video

CCM have been putting out some great content this preseason. Big kudos to their media team!!

Gauci looked impressive at training today!

 

[Ozhammer]

Let’s give BK this season to prove he is worth the No.1 shirt and MMM will no doubt already be looking at the keeper situation for next season.

 

[Wombat]

BK made one world class save from Jordan Murray i think it was.
All 3 keepers are good talkers.

Matty the Captain then? Looks like Usain let this one slip.......

Mentors within the Mariners…
U.B.: “For me, Kali [Kalifa Cissé] was one of the first,” Bolt said. “He really talked to me and explained to me about what I should do and continue pushing. And the captain, Simo [Matt Simon], also did a good job in motivating me. And Corey [Gameiro], was one of them also.
