"The Mariners 20" voting

Winning 🏆definitely helps.

. yeah i thought that may have been a factor and wondered how people might rate players from the dark years ... arguably there are players there that will be 'missed'. a couple of examples:

• Booney has named Pain - his contribution would be understated because he played in a shit team ... for years. people may have been remembering a very different player if he was here the last couple of years (but he wasn't)
• his time here probably coincided with Monty for a season - and although Monty had some success (as a player first) he was sometimes the only player worthy of 'professional' status in the team. in the shit times things could have been a lot worse without him. does that deserve additional credit?
• others probably would have faded quickly if they were not surrounded by quality and success

I have lots of love for Pain for his contributions and commitment whilst he was here.

Both have court dates coming up.
Troy Hearfield also unavailable after his latest… ahem… indiscretions.
Mrdja, Elrich, and Adrian Caceres all available for selection however 🤔

. recency bias?
. staff knowledge?

. i started to think it was the offence (alleged, or otherwise) ... but that doesn't make sense either
. now i'm worried how many more may be drawn to my attention that i wasn't previously aware of

Walmsley clearly coach cmon fam

Come on mate, it's pretty easy to run out of room on the shit list

Sounds like we could easily have a shitlist 20 to counter the club's list 😂

He was the only coach appointed after a world wide search

Vuka
Farrell
Zwanny
Sains
Storm
Rogic
Nizzy
Hutch
Monty
Simmo

I probably made it harder for myself by actually trying to select a team in their respective positions (albeit with only 10 players), so there were some difficult omissions

Same. I didn't count to 10 😞

. i don't like to play favourites, so from my perspective this can't be done ... happy for other people to have a crack though

. but i am intrigued - which criteria are people making their 'best' judgement on?

. obviously it is a combination of things, but it is the little things that must sway personal opinion one way of another. the fact that it is not a 'best 11' adds a certain amount of freedom - but that leads to more choices. i'm probably more interested in people's criteria than their actual choice

. whadyareckon?

My criteria was all heart, not necessarily the best players. Those that virtually bled our blue and yellow. Maxy and Niz made it because they came through the academy and were so well loved.

I have an enormous amount of respect for Connor, he busted his guts for us.

Obvious pickings

I forgot about Ziggy.

 

[FFC Mariner]

So we really need
The best XI
The charged with a crime XI
The Dogs/snakes XI
The cult hero XI

I can't think of anyone in all 4 but can think of someone with 3

Clue:As far as I know he has never been charged with a crime
