Caceres from NYL is anointed successor long term isn't he?

Caceres from NYL is anointed successor long term isn't he?

I've heard rumours of Hutch going to Asia - that in itself opens up more opportunities for both Ollie and Caceres. Apparently Caceres is thought of more as a deep-lying playmaker than as a straight Tommy replacement.

Roy I a disagree on Olly. For mine at least, I think he is ahead of Bernie and Mile at LM.

Hate to lose him, excellent player and great mariner.

Hutch going to Asia? Surely he wouldn't even consider the January window. He's captain of the team that's top of the league, gunning for more silverware and going to soon going to the ACL again...

 

[Wombat]

We are a better side with Olly at LM.

Even though he was below his best last season he is a starting 11 player in any HAL side.

Some people have rocks in their heads.

Vastly superior to Caravella but I'll agree he doesn't score enough goals.

 

[Golly]

olly left at home to fully recover from knock (no need to fly with head knock)
busy schedule ahead
olly to start against sydney
and retain it
time to shine like the GF
switch on ballszanic!!

Olly's problem is his finishing. Weemac had the same issues in the first season, but he has gone away and really improved that side of his game. Olly has not. Still can't hit the keeper, let alone the back of the net. Beside that, though, he adds a lot of industry and application that Mile lacks, and better decision making than Bernie.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Twitter rumours that Tommy is being looked at by 2 Italian clubs and a Belgian one.

No names mentioned. Could be rubbish.

If there's real interest in Rogic maybe it's time to let him go and focus of recruiting a longer term equivalent - he's likely off at the end of the season anyway and it'd be good to have his replacement well entrenched for the ACL

 

[Gratis]

Re-sign Arnie already! That's the big one...

 

[FFC Mariner]

We won't see Tommy again now. After being shafted yet again by the FFA, the kid should stick 2 fingers up at the aleague and sod off for good.

This could be an interesting and turbulent few weeks

Ryan, Hutchinson, Rogic, McGlinchey and Ibini all rumoured to have OS offers. Ollie linked to other HAL clubs, a 38 year old with a groin injury (does he continue?) and Hearfield seemingly on the outer.

Griffiths may be questioning why the much younger Morton was preferred over him as a first team replacement and Pellers is struggling to get game time may also be looking to move on.

I hope we are better placed at the end of the window for an end of season push but I somehow doubt it..

 

[Gratis]

with the prospect possible players leaving any chance we'll be looking to recruit during this period do you think?

 

[FFC Mariner]

cant imagine clubs queuing up for Pellers

Try and keep Glinch, get as much as we can for the rest and move on, but hang on to Arnie for at least another year.

 

[scottmac]

If we lose Rogic or Mcglinchy we are screwed. We need both to get anywhere this season. Lose one & the other will shoulder too much of the burden.

 

[priorpeter]

Quiet whispers on Twitter tonight that we won't see Tommy again

 

[FFC Mariner]

Today's SMH.

Tommy gone

 

[Gratis]

i do hope Arnie is planning his contingencies even though he suggests not, but can't see where from...unless we get some sort of Amini deal which is possible with how 'green' he still is

and MV get to keep Rojas...doesn't seen fair does it?

 

[FFC Mariner]

if pellers is the answer, you asked the wrong question

 

[Forum Phoenix]

The loss of Tommy is inevitable probably sooner rather than later, BUT, if we can "hopefully" keep Glinch for another year we can shoulder it I think. Lose him and Glinch now? Unless we recruit amazingly well, and perhaps even then, it would likely spell that our seasons over. Maybe if we had been playing a 433 all this time, I could see a lineup of Bernie, Duke and McBreen in front of Hutch, Monty, Ollie being a potential HAL winning team... But as Arnie has schooled most other teams that having a clear system and spending the time working on how to implement it, is far more important than throwing cash bags at players... YES. I'M LOOKING AT YOU SYDNEY. Even with quality replacement signings, we could still well be f**ked.
