How was Fitzys goal?

Stuff up at the back by CCMA fullbacks. He came through with the ball and beat the keeper one on one.

Anyone else watching the stream? Sound has gone out since 6th minute or so

 

[adz]

Yeah same for me...

A few opinions from the spirit game:

Anderson was great as captain first half.

Duke was really good playing on the right wing

Rose was a lot better, some real good chances

Storm looks the goods, tackles really solidly

 

[Wombat]

Thanks for the reports boys.

+1 to Zac's captaincy - I thought he did a pretty good job.

IMO Storm was OK, but nothing to write home about.

Slater had a few wild shots towards (I don't think at is quite appropriate) the goal, but he finished that Duke run off really well.

Now for Wednesday's match against Bankstown...

Zac captained very well, but funily enough in 2nd half there was no captain and I thought the mariners were much more doninant in 2nd half

Trialists number 25 26 and 27 have been very impressive as has the kid with the black curly hair, the CB, Bradesivic and Duke were the only two to play a whole game, Bradesivic wasnt tested much but looked much better off his line than Pasfield did on Tuesday

Sterj looks the fittest he has been while with us and Fitzys picked up a bit of speed.

Roux and Slater look good for the future.
Roux and Duke in particular linked up very well in first half down right side

I may be wrong but I thought sterj was captain second half.

Totally agree, both trials he seems to have lifted. A mcbreen-esk late career blossom on the cards?

 

[AuzDutchy]

I may be wrong but I thought serj was captain second half.

I spent the first ten minutes trying to see who had the armband, and couldn't see it on anyone, in any case I didn't hear sterj too much, surely Zacs going to be vice captain this year, maybe even Captain! If arnie thinks giving him the armband will lift his game I wouldnt put it past him

Thanks

Duke was absolutely carving down that right hand side, totally tore them to shreds. Some nice flicks and tricks... must be practicing for Brazil.

Watching on an iPad was tricky (need to register on another device) but when it started.

Top quality, great initiative

Great night! Very ethnic - my brother-in-law is (Oz born) Assyrian, the godson (Oz born) Uruguayan, also sitting with them were Anthony Caceres' parents and apparently the Bankstown City is a Macedonian club. Aformentioned 15y.o. godson was Matias Paz, who came on with a few minutes to go and instantly rocketed a header just over for the Lions closest thing to an equaliser. Chatted to a few old faces of the CCM cohort and also to a pleasant, accessible Liam Reddy about being a Mariner.

I thought we looked (hardly surprisingly) much more composed and connected than at Pluim. The Storm, Zac, Seip, Rose backline which started and lasted well into the 2nd half looked more like what we've come to expect with wingbacks bombing forward dangeously. Pasfield wasn't as angry last week, composed on the high balls but not tested really. Flores looks like he still needs a bit of time to gel the the system and team mates but was more classy. Nice finish by Sterj for the goal. For mine, nobody was horrible. Come on the season!
