ALM Mariners vs Nix

[pjennings]

With our usual recycling DWH may well go up the pecking order after the season end. Always seemed an angry young man when I saw him with Brisbane. However, in person, he is completely different. I hope he gets a decent run to prove his worth at some stage.

He's just really competitive.

That is what I think, I have no doubt he looked around in the window however for this league the Jan window was very quiet in my opinion. Clubs reining in the spending a bit I assume as the APL $$$ were down on previous years. Is his contract up at the end of the season or is there another year?

DWH is a really nice guy I doubt he’do that. I’d like to see him teamed with Edmo at some stage in a Cup game at the least…

I have no issues with this.

He signed in good faith. As long as he is being professional and training hard and meeting all his community obligations he is entitled to the wage. It's not his choice that he isn't playing.

 

[Stuartmcateer]

We literally just fell asleep.
They did nothing different at all, we just switched off.

Watching it again this is so true.

When Kosta gets the ball on halfway in behind tapp (after he misses the tackle on Payne), Faz is high and inside and way out of position and not remotely near van hattum.
Kaltak gets sucked out to the ball.

It looks like doka passes old onto hall as he makes a sprint to get in front but then slows down just before the cross - loses him for a second. Bit of a poor communication between the two of them.

It's not really on anyone but it's on everyone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm going to defend the guy. To suggest he is just sitting around and soaking up a wage is a pretty poor accusation imo.
Agree with Stuart here. He was signed under Monty and has no control over who the Coach wants to play. I get to watch trainings now and then and have spoken to a number of the Coaching staff during that time. Regarding DWH they have all remarked how they can't fault his professionalism. They've commend his attitude and his example to the younger players of how to conduct yourself when things aren't going your way.
He has another 12mths on his contract I believe.

So no other club wanted him and he would rather train and get ALeague wages than be released and play while getting NSL wages?

Why should he?

 

[pjennings]

Why should he?

Especially with expansion ALM clubs being mooted. If you drop down it is very unlikely you come back. He could go OS but that may not suit his family life. As long as he is doing everything the club is asking him to do I'm happy for him to be here and hope he gets a chance.

No one is even remotely suggesting that he is sitting around bludging. Just that he may prefer to not play and get a better wage than on offer elsewhere.
For example, he walks into the Jets 1st team but I doubt they would pay very well.

 

[Coastalraider]

He may also hit the market next year as a 2 time a league champ, a league premier and AFC winner.

I'm not sure he does walk into other teams.

I can't think of a single striker that you would say yep he is an absolute moral to replace (although I would love to see him with some of the chances in front of goal that Jing has had).

Not to say he is a bad player, just that the systems most teams are playing now don't really suit his strengths.

I'd love to see him teamed with Edmondson. Hopefully we get a big away win in the next away AFC cup gain and we can try that at home. Ryan seems to be able to hold up play and that would suit DWH well you would think.

Agree he is suited to a big man little man combo.

Just there aren't many teams that run little and large anymore.

I get the feeling monty saw him in a cumdog type role, dropping into the hole in rotation with Tulio or making little runs off the shoulder of the defender (which he did a little in the early AFC games but was offside a lot).

 

[Big Dog]

He moved his life and partner to another state to play for the Mariners... as did Will Wilson. Things changed and that's football, but both still have 12mths on their contract and ambitions to play A-league football. It's not as simple as "well I'll just walk into another club" or even do what some seem to be the honourable thing and cancel your contract and go and play NPL so you're not soaking up a wage. No one was making noises about Dan Hall soaking up a wage last season when he was in exactly the same position, but he stayed, trained hard and waited for his opportunity.
Not all A-league clubs will release players either. Maxim was told he could look for another club but chose to stay and fight for a place, others aren't given the same option. When Monty went after Wilson, Victory refused to release him even after telling him he wasn't going to get game time. It became a bun fight in the background for them to change their position.

I don't believe any player prefers not to play so they can take a wage... not at the Mariners anyway.

AND Transfermarkt will put another piece of silverware against his name if we get some more this year.

Not that it's relevant at all but I sold DWH in Football Manager for 1.5M to Viking FK (Gianni's team).
