Wasted Squad Positions

Im sure we can look to get a few goals from other areas of the pitch too...

Ie hutcho, Jedi etc

kwas scored more goals than mark bridge last year and has scored more than him over the last 3 seasons. while kwas is bagged constantly by certain sections of our supoprt, bridge just got snapped up for silly money by sydney and some parts of our support rave about andre gumprecht, who, while a lovely bloke, didn't offer half when fully fit what kwasnik did when playing most of the season carrying an injury. is he going to have to personally blow every member of the anti-kwassie club to get some respect?

not to mention Caceres averaged goals for Melbourne at about 1 every 6.5 games despite playing off the bench for a lot of those games and Elrich averaged 1 every 6.3 games at PP while Lawrie was there.
Then theres our all time top scorer: Kwasnik, who has averaged 1 goal every 4 games

EDIT Dibo beat me to it

I think 4 strikers (assuming nik stays) is enough. Since Kwas and hutch can cover there.
5 out and out strikers in a 23 man squad seems a waste to me. Bring in a gun striker in the youth league, and you have your backup.

Firstly, Dibo, there is no such thing as anti-Kwas, anti-Gumps or anti-any other Mariners player. We all have our favourites, regardless of what that preference is based on (how nice a bloke they are, how good looking, how many goals they score, how many tackles they put in etc....) Likewise, we all have our opinion on who is good enough for the first team and who isn't......I'm not pretending to speak for everyone, but for me, it's nothing personal.

Secondly, while Kwas (and Caceres for Melbourne) have done reasonably well to chip in with a few goals, it's dangerous to just assume that they will fill any shortfall of goals on the part of the forwards. The majority of goals should come from the forward line, and I simply can't see that being the case with the guys we have at the moment....as I've said, I would love to be proven wrong, though.

If kwas scores 4 goals he will be more than he weight in gold. I am sure he will chip in 5 or 6, as well as his usual assists, as well as tiring defences with his charges down the line that create so much space for us.

Think about the night he owned T Elrich and the jets. That was his performance of the season IMO. I reckon Kwas, A Elrich and Caceres is going to be a massive selection headache at the start of the season for LM

kwas scored more goals than mark bridge last year and has scored more than him over the last 3 seasons. while kwas is bagged constantly by certain sections of our supoprt, bridge just got snapped up for silly money by sydney and some parts of our support rave about andre gumprecht, who, while a lovely bloke, didn't offer half when fully fit what kwasnik did when playing most of the season carrying an injury. is he going to have to personally blow every member of the anti-kwassie club to get some respect?

You know f**k all about talent if you think Kwas is half the player Gumpy is.

The only way he will get my respect is to consitantly perform to the same level as Gumps/Jedi/Hutcho/Podeljak.  Cross and pass consitantly and hit the target more often and reduce his error rate.  Good squad player for mine but thats it.

you're free to think what you like about kwas, gumps and my assessment of both. i think kwas is the better of the two just now.

Lawrie first coached Kwassie when he was 12 (so I think I remember him saying at the Marinators night??). He is our leading goalscorer and the coach who has taken the leagues most unfancied club to 2 out of 3 post season cup finals rates him.

That'll do me
