Monty

[Ted]

Good to hear his thoughts on the Mariners and the Coast.

 

[VicMariner]

Sounds like he is settled and determined to stay.
I'd say if CCM give him the contracts he'll see out his career here.
Might even see him in the coaching set up after that??

 

[MagpieMariner]

Hope he does get the opportunity to stay as long as he wants. Been very impressed with him since he arrived. Top player, top bloke.

 

[midfielder]

Monty strikes me as someone who could go on to be a very good coach ... Dutchie seems to be next in line but would love to see Monty at the Football School or involved in the association state team ...

 

[style_cafe]

On the strength of his performances a contract extension should be offered ASAP!!!!

Montys had a couple of quiet games...does my theory on interest from other clubs distracting players apply here?

 

[Big Al]

Is he having quite games or just being rotated & now that we are playing better hasn't needed to save our bacon as much so not as noticed?

Caceras is now a geniune 1st team chance each week so now have the luxury of picking any of the three (Monty, Hutch & Caceras).

monty was one of the best against the scum and also Melbourne city. has been rotated and had 1 1/2 quiet games, nothing to fear.

next season is when we will see his true qualities with caceres likely a main stay it will be monties job to put hutch on the bench.

 

[dibo]

I don't see Caceres as being ahead of the other two.

 

[tsd]

the point is that he will be next season if he continues to improve at the rate he has this season, while the other boys decline with age

”I am the team captain and I lost my place in the side too,” Hutchinson said.

”Anthony Caceres, for example, came in and did very well because he's a fantastic player.

”He's got great technique, he's great on the ball, he's tactically aware of what the Mariners want to be and, I tell you, he's going to run the Mariners' midfield in the next couple of seasons.”

”I've been here since day one. I like the club which has always been good to me.

”I've got one more year left in my contract and after that I'll decide what's best for myself and the club.”

Potential last year as well for Hutcho next year - Prob depend on the young guns like kalik & Caceras to see if they can push Hutch & Monty to be fighting for bench spots instead of starting spots

I don't see Caceres as being ahead of the other two.

I think caceres has closed the gap on the defensive capability of hutcho and monty considerably.
he may become first choice next year . I also believe hutchs game has improved considerably in the last
few weeks due to the confidence he has in caceres.

& threat of being left out plus a steadier back 4 has stopped him trying to cover there positions as well

Very true. Hutcho doesn't seem to be as "all over the place" as he has been.
