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

[Forum Phoenix]

It can be read another way. The young players he is talking about could be Aspro and Rowles. He may be saying he wouldn't want them to be behind him plus new signings.

That’s how I read it,

Ok I’m going to Channel my inner oddball and get some positive waves going. Maybe the last min “mutual agreements” have been due to some ongoing contract talks and it was a stalling due to money, these two players now off the books allow for that money to be redirected.

If it happens then you can thank them positive waves!

I’m actually assuming this to be the case.

Late signings seemed most likely to me due to players/agents keeping ccm alternatives open as long as possible.

I expect two announcements.

It will be interesting to see what today brings.

I'm expecting at least one scrapheap player that can't get a gig anywhere else (I hope Nichols has already been signed elsewhere by now).

I'm cautiously optimistic that we get something good.

I'll be disappointed if it's just confirmation of contracts renewed or player promotions.

Given that we lost two defensive players this week, there has to at least one coming in to fill the gap.

Shaun looks like he has been busy till the early hours and seems happy with the result.

A positive

Still wondering if we are an outside chance of Bruno Fornaroli. Perth have signed him to marquee for next season and City don’t want him. With Ross gone maybe we can afford a 3 months rental.

That trip to Melbourne has shown no signs of paying off yet.

Gatt was saying he didn’t expect him to move this season. Would be in line for a big bonus if they play finals and another if they managed to qualify for ACL even if he doesn’t play. Another few months on the sidelines isn’t as damaging as it would be for a fringe player, he can wait it out cos he knows he’ll be fine.

Wasn't it said that it was two defenders?

Given this is going up to the transfer day deadline it can only be three options:
1. Someone overseas and at a current club (loan arrangement probably)
2. Couldn't get anyone up to deadline day so we went with Michael Glassock
3. 1 and 2

I am going with number 1 given that Shaun was up late working.

Shaun posted on Facebook late last night that two announcements will be made today. Have a good day guys

Apparently, I was just responding to the mention of Fornaroli because Gatt was tweeting about it last night.

Depends on the announcements, we are somewhat used to mediocre so will be an interesting day.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Correction: Mulvery thought Oar was a 10 but he turned out to be less interested in playing than Mrdja

 

[Scotty]

With Shaun attending training today, it's fair to guess that's when the announcement will be made.

 

[midfielder]

Looking forward to today as me thinks managerial positions are on the line this time ... when managerial positions are on the line sometimes good decisions are made.

 

[Insertnamehere]

Better be fit players we can't be spending the next 6 games building them up.

 

[greenlig]

When does training start?

 

[Pirate Pete]

When does training start?

When Shaun gets out of bed. He had a late night you know.

 

[NoDiggity]

When does training start?

It’s on now at pluim. Finished 10;30

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

It’s on now at pluim. Finished 10;30

That implies training is at least 35 minutes.. I'm worried about injuries from the increased workload

 

[midfielder]

, there has to at least one coming in to fill the gap.

2 new boys. Both look good. Both from overseas. One is built like a brick shithouse.

Good training session and Gameio had a run with the boys. They looked very sharp at times.

Only McGing was still injured.
