Mariners Youth League Coach

Just as a matter of interest has there been anything decided on who is going to be the Mariners youth coach, a few names that come to mind include: Tony Vidmar, Damien Brown, maybe Tobin (but i think he is integral in the senior squad), I wouldve said Gumps a few months back but not now, maybe old man Boogaard, The lightning coach or someone from the Lightning staff.

Just want to hear your thoughts people

I personally would like to see it given to Vidmar...if not maybe Tobin as long as it still allows some involvement with the 1st team (could he do both? coach and assist?).
If those two fail maybe Brown just so he can be there as an injury backup (or arent we allowed them anymore coz of youth players...) or i dunno if this is possible- player/coach??? eg. brown would be good enough for league but the only problem i see is whether that spot would be wasted for him in startin 11???

I think you'll find that John Mclafferty(lightning 1st grade coach) will be the youth coach

lawrie and ferie are 1st team coaches, so it only makes sense to have an person who is equally as hard to understand as the youth coach

Lawrie said it would be Tobes at the marinators function.
Does that mean that the Mariners Youth side is a regarded as separate from the Mariners Academy?

Would surely be tobes. You want it to go to a guy who is in line to one day be head coach. Tobes is that guy.

Damien Brown is the coach.

Tony Walmsley has been rumoured to be doing it next season.
