Mariners V Poachers FC

Nisbet and DDS had great games but my MOM was Stensness.His passing has been a much improved part of his game this season and he is not dwelling on the ball.He is still physical and his reading of the game is a feature.Having Bozanic in the team will have been a big factor in his improvement.

I was critical of him last season ,especially his passing and decision making , but can see his potential is being realised.

I thought Niz was Mom (like a bull terrier on steroids) but Stens was extremely solid.
Stens has certainly gone up a level in confidence and delivery this year though I think he is far from his best yet. He is a really bright kid, very very intellectual and he reads the game well. Apart from that he is a freak physically. It was interesting that one commentator (I think Slater) said that Staj thinks Stens is pound for pound the strongest player in the A-League". I wouldn't be surprised.
With all that potential, I think he could be the one who might really give the club some financial payback with transfer fees one day.

the miller of this year is a different player to last year . definitely centre back only now

I was thinking that last year, after last nights performance I think second reserve CB only. Only on the bench if one of the regulars is injured.
Harsh but that's reality. His performance was not even Prem stuff.

 

[true believer]

Has he beefed up in the off season?
Looks bigger than last year from what I remember.

looks like he could play in the back row for manly

He's stepping up gears and could definitely end up playing at a higher level.
Also, I don't think much has been said about Ruon, another great performance.

Finally caught in the match and all the comments. One thing I will add is we were far too slow to attack allowing them to congest. Not wide enough either.
Stop Clisby on the free kick duties.

All in all a draw was probably a deserved outcome despite our dominance. Still happy enough with the competitiveness through 3 rounds.

edited to read "DROP Stop Clisby on the free kick duties."

I think too he had a full scholarship at Sydney Uni, then got the paid prize for being top of class. No wonder the computer in his head ticks over quickly.

I know one of Stens' school teachers - I'll ask!

exactly the same as last year TB but we dont have to kop it this year

 

[Corsair]

Ibini looked slow, i don't think he's got much A league time left in him.

no lad . he can't turn the same way . the fact we have nigro doesn't change whats happened with miller .
yes we have a more suitable player . but miller , before he got injured. was one of the better players .
miller may well turn out to be a very good cb .

That will happen when you spend your preseason on stress leave pushing for a release (legit or otherwise). He isn’t likely to be in much better shape than players out of quarantine and will need time to get there.

Stress leave, stress leave.... Go home mate. Take the rest of your life off. Maybe the PC brigade will be able to give you a soft job somewhere.
Adios.
