(please note - I genuinely don't mean to insult any of these guys, for most it just wasn't the right fit at the right time)

A bit tough on Pellers . Struck me as being a good team man and always gave 100%, particularly in the warmup

What was that dude's name? Wolry Wolf??? Played for Joe Public FC in the West Indies somewhere. Perhaps he could be a starter in your team

 

[sydmariner]

he was jamaican & i think that he played in hungary

I had quite forgotten about Shane Huke; I can't imagine why. Didn't MacAllister get a call up to a Socceroo camp?

i always thought that mcmaster was good

Shirtfronting (a term after it's time) Muscat in that one game lifts him from obscurity!

I scored a goal against the Cove wearing Jamie McMaster's shirt in that supporters' club tournament at Valentine Eleebana. Bloke who failed to pick me up as I made my run up the left onto Jimmy's pass wound up marrying my cousin.

Good times.

Damn straight. It was a good hit too!

My best team and I have moved Trent to right back he played there a couple of times and I think Beauchamp is better overall in the squad than Bojic… Tis a 4-2-3-1 combo … Rose V Vidmar was hard but I came down with Rose in the end, Vidmar was the better defender however Rose offers much more in attack. Also Bozanic and Ibini was a close call for me in the first team but on balance for me Bozanic just shades Ibini …

………………..Ryan…..
Sainsbury…. Zwaanswijk.. Beauchamp… Rose
…………Jedinak …..Griffiths …
…..McGlinchey …..Perez….Bozanic
………………Aloisi …..


Bench

Vukavic … Ibini … Gumpey … Mori … Musty.. Vidmar.. Hutch

How can you completely overlook Wilko, middy? Not even on the bench? Him and Patty Z are a must for the starting CBs as far as I'm concerned.

No simon?

Yep, IMO our two best strikers were Aloisi and Mori ...

 

[MagpieMariner]

No place for Sasho? He scored a few for us, including two to get us into our 2nd GF.

Whilst I agree with you, Mori played 11 games for the Mariners and Aloisi played 15. I'm not comfortable putting either of them in the team of the decade based on so few games.

 

[Roy Law]

I certainly considered him; he was one of the very few strikers we had with a natural instinct for scoring goals.

Me too. I tend to think Sasho is a bit of a forgotten man in Mariners folklore. Strange really, considering his heroics against the scum in the return semi final.

 

[MagpieMariner]

I'm also of the opinion that he was the support for Matt Simon the year Matt scored a dozen for us. Matt was never that good before or since.

He wasn't!
