Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Ben Buckley - well Done

My work sometimes involves me in forward planning, mainly in financial modeling.

But I am jealous of those who make their daily loaf in strategic planning. Looking were the weakness are, where valuable assets are being lost. Developing ways of protecting copyright or making it more difficult to steal the assets or for others to re use your own assets against you.

With this in mind a big, big, well done to Ben and the boys at the FFA. During the week as quite as you like they announce a national under 14 team to compete internationally see link at the end.

Gee Midfielder why make such a big fuse over a small announcement. Because from about 12 to 15 many talented  young sportsman leave football to play other codes. Keeping these sportsman in football is very good for football, and very bad for the other codes.

It is a very simple thing young boys at 13 or 14 (remember we are talking about the best here) represent state go on to national team, .................or .................  go to play for local park league / AFL team.

IMO who ever worked this out at FFA needs a big pat on the back. As I see it brilliant strategic planning. The only draw back I can see is if a player matures latter than 12 / 13 then will they still get their shot at the national team. Yes via the youth league and other rep teams.

Near the end of the link it says Buckley said the FFA was set to make a "modest" profit for this financial year, following a significant loss last year, and plans were in place to establish an under-14 national team to compete internationally. The youngest national team is under-17.
