ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.
Balard's performances lifted from literally the game that Bozanic got dropped and he hasn't stopped improving since. It doesn't matter how good or poor Boz is now tbh, because the decision to get rid of him is 100% justified by the fact that it directly led to us having the best central midfield pairing in the A League for the last 12 months (although not everyone has cottoned on yet).And bozanic making it look better and better a decision to get rid of him. Completely ineffective.

Don't think we are disagreeing too much. Wasn't suggesting Max immediately became the player he is now. But he was a better and more confident player without Bozanic alongside him. And we won 8 and drew 2 (including the 10 man draw v WSW) of the next 11 once Oli was dropped, playing good football and scoring lots of goals, and I think Max and Niz's contribution to that run was vastly underrated.Disagree slightly on this.
Max was up and down that first 6 months when he replaced boz, he didn’t immediately hit his potential. It took him a while to grow into the role and become the player he is developing into.
Montyball. Almost a copy with arguably weaker squad than us tooRoar play some good ball
Only weaker in theory. To me the fact Aloisi has Mileusnic playing well says a lot for his ability as a coach.Montyball. Almost a copy with arguably weaker squad than us too

I haven’t rated Adelaide this season yet and a bit like the Nix in having a charmed start. Yes agree the Roar are looking very good given they also had two injury subs in the first half hour.Brisbane are decent this year. Really impressed with Lofthouse on the wing.
Adelaide were rubbish and Irankunda was crying like Oliver McCall in the ring.....very interesting......he is not ready for the Bundesliga.

Good to see Marco’s team getting ripped by Bruno.
