2015 Mariners Pre-Season Games

I do like this though:
Daniel McFarlane, Trent Buhagiar, Lachlan Wales, all local juniors?

Is a good sign that local boys are coming through and have been recognized. Don't know much about them.......

7 trialists seems a lot

I think we could sign 4 or 5 more so that isn't too high a number given that 3 are local as well.

FOR new Central Coast Mariners A-League skipper Nick Montgomery Tuesday night’s FFA Cup clash against Wellington at Gosford cannot come quickly enough.
After weeks of training, it’s finally down to business and the players are itching to go.
Montgomery (pictured) said the club was desperate to put the horrors of last season behind them with a positive effort at Central Coast Stadium.

“Last season wasn’t good, especially for this club after all the success we’ve had, but that’s done now, it’s all about this season now and things are looking very good,’’ Montgomery said.
“We’ve got fresh ideas with Tony (coach Tony Walmsley) and it’s exciting to be involved. I think it’ll be a good year for this club.’’
If he pulls up well after trial runs this week, Walmsley hinted that recruit Roy O’Donovan was likely to play a big part on Tuesday.
“We want to perform well on Tuesday but for me the big picture is being ready for the start of the A-League, it’s all about October for us,’’ Walmsley said.
The coach said a real focus during the pre-season has been on fitness.
“That’s always the case obviously in a pre-season, but for us we want to play a high pressure, relentless style and physically the players need to be a position to achieve that week after week,’’ he said.
“I think last week would have been one of the most challenging the players have been involved in for some time.’’
Walmsley said he would not lock in his starting side until after today’s trial clash with the Wanderers at Coffs Harbour.

CCM vWSW tonite, kicked off @ 7pm. Really surprised Kevrenor (Coff's local) hasn't at least listed who started. Hope we get a haf-time update.

C'mon Kev, don't let the troops down mate!

0-0 at half time. Mariners mostly fielding youth team plus a few trialists.

Looks like it could be

----------------Reddy-----------------
Posco-----Ascroft---McGing----Sim
-----------Berry------Rose--------------
---------------Stella--------
Adelson-------Heffernan------Austin

Corrected now

 

[Wombat]

wow......looks like the bloke that picked the jersey picked the team too

 

[Wombat]

The only positive thing is we have gone to 433 instead of our older "we are not worthy" formation.

 

[Rowdy]

Posco in a front 3?

 

[pjennings]

Posco in a front 3?

No - Adelson and Posco should have been reversed.

McGing now off. Roux to RB Posco to CB

Mariners 2 0 up

Heffernan with 2 in a minute. Adelson with the assist for the first

 

[pjennings]

Heffernan with the hatrick

 

[Wombat]

Sign that boy up.......Matty who?

 

[nebakke]

I think Heffernan has just signed a contract... Hat-trick in what? 5 minutes?

Let's just hope that he's not a Sim and this is his peak...

broadcast ?

Sim scores his goals against the worst team we have ever played against.....and probably against the advice of his coach..."now go out there and play the ball backwards no matter what.....lets secure the draw"

Heffernan with the hatrick

My hopes for the season have just gone up a notch.
