Mariners Team of the Decade:

[pjennings]

No, he couldn't. He wasn't that great. Never worthy of the hype.

Amini, on the other hand...

Tommy P 7 goals in 55 games
Musti 3 goals in 41.
Tommy Rogic 5 goals in 23
Perez 6 goals in 18

 

[dibo]

3 in open play, the other 3 from the spot, in a season where it was raining goals; Kwasnik got 9. And he couldn't hack it for a decent stint here. Not sold.

 

[Wombat]

Your love in with Hutcho is commendable if misguided.

It's good how you have a selective memory..........because you always used to bang on about how good Porter and Heff were and deserved to be starting 11. It's ok maybe it's an Aussie/coast thing......back the local regardless.

Perez was quality, Amini was a decent prospect.

 

[Atomic]

I don't think we ever saw a fully fit Perez did we? He was always struggling with a groin strain. I've always wondered what would've happened in the Brisbane GF had Perez been fit.

Having said all that, I still rate him as our most talented #10. However, I don't think 18 games is enough to get him into the team of the decade, in my opinion.

You've got a fantastic imagination.

 

[Wombat]

You would make a great Police witness........I didn't see anything, I never said nuffin.

Go back through some of the drivel you have written over the years and the evidence is as plain as day.

 

[Roy Law]

So when is the name of the thread to be changed to "You said, I said..."?
I used to think that it was only on 442 that threads could so easily move away from the topic.

 

[Roy Law]

Here is my idea of the team:
Ryan
Bojic Sainsbury Zwaanswijk Heffernan
Jedinak Hutchinson
Pondeljak Rogic McGlinchey
McBreen

Subs: Vukovic, Wilkinson, Gumprecht, Simon, Kwasnik

 

[sydmariner]

I didn't see anything, I never said nuffin.

 

[Wombat]

My team (no gimmicks)

Ryan
Wilko
Tesco
Dutchy (capt)
Rose
Weemac
Griffiths. (Just in front of Jedi)
Gumpey ( just in front of Perez)
bozanic
Aloisi
Mori






Subs
Danny
beauchamp
Jedi
Perez
Simon

Manager...tough one...I give it to Lawrie on the back of season 1 when we played lovely attacking Football and were the best team in the comp.

 

[dibo]

I'm going to assume you aren't joking, and remind you that we (along with everyone else) were miles behind Adelaide in season 1. It's fair to say we weren't even close to the best team that year.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Not 100% sure, but I think we came 4th at the end of the home-and-away. That makes us 4th best, even though we ended up 2nd.

 

[tsd]

if you treat team of the decade as "most talented players per position" i can understand guys like perez and aloisi being mentioned but if its "most memorable/ had the most influence/ defined who the mariners are" its gotta have guys like kwas, simon, wilko, gumps, jedi, tommy p, patty z, danny v, mcbreen

side note: any one caught posting a team without hutch should be banned for life!

Can we make the same rule about simon & can anyone who votes mcglinchey in be banned for life

McGlinchey gave the Mariners 5 years of top shelf service. To say anyone voting for him should be banned for life is just plain wrong.

Even after what he's just put the club through

 

[UnitedsNo9]

I think it is worth noting that over the years we have had some fantastic DM players. Hutch has played many positions but I believe he has excelled in DM. Monty has been a machine for the last few years, Griffiths was picked up (possibly for really cheap from Nth Qld when they folded) and turned into an incredible player who really dominated and was soon sold for at the time record fee for A-League I believe. Then their is Jedi who has gone from stride to stride.

I know it is cheating but I'm putting two down
Back to topic, my 1st 11: Alternate 11:
Ryan Vukavic
Bojic Sainsbury Zwannswijk Rose Roux Wilko Vidmar Heff
Jedinak Hutch Griffiths Monty
McGlinchey Bozanic Gumprecht Ibini
Rogic Amini
McBreen Aloisi

 

[UnitedsNo9]

Ok cocked that up:
Should have read

Ryan
Bojic Sainsbury Zwaanswijk Rose
Jedinak Hutch
McGlinchey Rogic Bozanic
Mcbreen

 

[Atomic]

Even after what he's just put the club through

Absolutely. McGlinchey gave far more to the club than he took from it. You can be bitter at the way he departed… so am I, but there is no denying what he did for us over 5 years. For me, he should be a certain starter in our team of the decade.
