Player movements 2013/2014

[Gratis]

I've been on here on and off for maybe 4 years all up but really only got regularly active since last season. Have to say that this season in particular, from about game 3 onwards at least, I've been pleased and enjoying the positive, respectful, mature, balanced and insightful comments from all. There's been disagreement as any good forum should have, as well as some great creativity, and overall credit to all I feel

Apparently Redmayne has a clause in his contract that if he doesn't play a certain number of first team games he can opt out of the second year of his contract - probably why Aloisi is playing him at the moment instead of Bolton.

With Ollie as the only local in the squad what are peoples thoughts on Redders, Joey Gibbs and Reece Caira ( he is on a 2 year contract - but getting little game time at WSW). Redders is still only 24 and the other two are 20.

 

[Roy Law]

On Redmayne I leave it to John Crawley to assess if he is better than Pasfield; Redders as No 2 might be considered if Bradasevic or some other youngster isn't good enough.
Joes Gibbs is getting game time so WSW may be happy to keep him.
Reece Caira would have only made our NYL this year; the fact he is getting little game time with WSW probably means that is his level right now. I can't see him being offered a first team contract at the Mariners.
Of course, the Coastie I want back as he doesn't seemed to be playing at all is Matt Simon

I rate Reece and I'm sure he will prove himself in time.

Gibbs is decent. But I rate Duke, and Fitzgerald for that matter, more highly.

Redders, I see Pasfield as clearly in front of him and haven't been overly impressed by him. I assumed Bolton was injured.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Didn't Gibbs trial with us preseason ?

 

[Atomic]

I recall Gibbs having a great game against the CC Select team. Scored 1 or maybe 2 goals. Not long after he signed for WSW and I was very disappointed.

I agree with all of this.

He trialled with WSW scored 4 goals in a game & then didn't get an offer
Lawrie said he'd signed a NYL contract with us, but then a late offer came from WSW & he took it.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

I agree with all of this.

So do I. Let's look elsewhere.

On the people not in here anymore I think that they do stop in a couple times a month. I used to try to get involved in the banter but as a 15-17 year old I wrote things like "tht game was g8" or what ever now being 21 I see how annoying that is but I was young and stupid an didn't want to type normally (basicly using grammar & correct spelling). Plus I think the death of forums was Facebook I have A forum dedicated to football manager (awesome game!!!!!) and we have pretty much moved our whole site on to there heaps easier but not as nice and every kids a troll now a days. Any way I still pop in see what going on quite reguarly actually but I never feel the need to write in here. I dunno why but yer just my thoughts.

Was going to just click 'like' but this is exactly my story too. Joined inheaps between ages 15-18 (oh the proboards days) then decided to pull my finger out in Year 12 at school then worked so I could travel overseas for 6 months last year. But I still check in every now and then and I would still rather chat about the mariners on here than twitter or facebook any day.

But back on topic, I think Fitzgerald will be a great addition. Especially if he's the direct "attacking utility" replacement for pellers. Could Fitzy play out wide right and mcglinch move into no.10 role for next season?

 

[FFC Mariner]

Played in the middle mainly during his NYL days for us. Roar have been playing him wide left I think?

 

[Blair]

I no Mcbreen is playing awesome ATM but what bout van dyk and push Mcbreen into CAM he play's really well thats only if Rogic leaves.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Would be an awesome signing but I doubt it, reported to be off to Indonesia wasnt he?

 

[garlo]

Villa wouldn't have fought so hard to get Reece if he wasn't so talented which begs the questions why release him ?? From what I've seen in his runs for WSW and YL he is quality but I don't see him bein anything more than a squaddy for us at the moment.

100% on Redders to come back if we lose Matty ! Would love it !

Is there any other murmurs of players joining us ?? Like the Fitzgerald homecoming - need a big solid striker to cover Mcbreen dropping back if Tommy goes.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Pasfield >>>> Redmayne

 

[Blair]

I don't have any confidence in redmayne :s only because the when I think of him I think about the Adelaide game when he had a shocker of a game came way to far out from a corner

 

[Ancient Mariner]

100% on Redders to come back if we lose Matty ! Would love it !

Have you watched him in any of the recent games?

 

[bikinigirl]

Have you watched him in any of the recent WSW games?

. nope, he must get around though
