Mariners Pre Season 2022

[Ozhammer]

The one thing I noticed in the friendly is we have more size and presence in the squad this season, we were a little side last season and it was nice to see Kelechi and Triantis easily cutting off the high crosses on Saturday.

Fear not, Nizzy will lower the average height of the team when he returns…..

Most exciting signing at this point, I doubt he'll pick up cards like Urena did either.

He gets stuck in. Think he’s a candidate for a few cards. Which I love about him. As a Mariner, you need some mongrel up front in this league.

No problem with that as long as he's not getting cards for emotional pissy pointless stuff like Urena did occasionally. Revenge cards and the like.

He is playing for us so it’s inevitable he will receive a few questionable slices of cheese.

What’s next for the boys in terms of trial games?

Perth and Sydney FC according to Monty’s video. Possibly City again after that.

Dick on the podcast said that we want "fast and aggressive " footballers.
Ruhs seems to fit that bill completely.
Would be a nightmare to play against

So what's, the feeling amongst those that saw the friendly about Simmo? Reckon he'll get an offer for one last season or is the squad strong enough without him and it's time to hang up the boots.

Sadly, I can`t see him even making the bench this season.
He wasn`t at training when I was there last week and he didn`t participate in this game.
If he can`t get a few preseason games under his belt then i`m afraid the best contribution he can make to the club is to retire and make room for an academy player.
No player in the Club`s history typifies what we are are all about than Simmo.
He is the Mariner`s and should be remembered for the spirit he has given the club...

Yep - even though he played for Sydney - that was our choice - not his. He is the Coast!!

And he never celebrated scoring goals against us either...

I DO agree...... but one of my memories of Matt that I can't shake is him drunk and chucking up outside Rojo Rocket....withe Wilko saying it was some "bad mexican".... ?

Must have been a lookalike that celebrated wildly with the Cove?
Him, Alo$I and Wales all celebrated their goals against us I recall.

If he doesn't get a gig this season I really think he deserves a testimonial.

He was training the day I was there. Played in a training game and was throwing himself into tackles and throwing elbows like a man posessed ?

 

[pjennings]

If he doesn't make it back a role with the club should be forthcoming. The connection to the fans should not be dismissed.

If he doesn't make it back for CCM maybe he can give CCU a hand playing in NPL League 1 next season and stick around for the CC Derby when they make it to NPL Mens the following season.

I like the idea of a testimonial as he has been a crowd favourite for years.
What form would it take though?
I`d rather see a select A League team comprising representatives of all the clubs playing in the main game.
Invite as many former Mariners players now with other clubs, with other preliminary games beforehand.
Also showcase East Gosford as his junior club, make it a real fun day.
Maybe even a fat bastards game for former players...

It should be the Simmo all stars, selects his own team, versus the refs and linesmen. I'd love to see him break Shaun Evans in half.

Can wear a Sydney shirt too?

Tell Evans he's reffing so he turns up unawares, then both sides kick the f**k out of him for charity.

I would pay a lot to see that.
