Mariners Preseason 2019

[BrisRecky]

Look out Riley Morton’s on for South Hobart...he was on the goal of the year video for this season in the Tas PL

 

[BrisRecky]

Must of been a short fuse on that f**king rocket Staj fired

 

[BrisRecky]

Lol at the constant calling of Shabow as Shabbo....although can’t disagree

 

[BrisRecky]

Can Melling EVER hit a pass to someone in the same shirt as him...missus says he only got re-signed cause his little fella is cute as

 

[Ancient Mariner]

Every time I see Nisbet I am impressed.

Best prospect since Amini.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

We still need a real striker.

 

[Josho Howe]

Valuable minutes in the legs before next week. Very good timing on this Hobart trip.

 

[Capn Gus Bloodbeard]

any info on how they scored? I feel like we really should be keeping a clean sheet against these state league teams...

 

[BrisRecky]

Lewis Miller made a catastrophic backpass maneuver Capn

We were dicking about passing it around in our 6 yard box, hospital pass from keeper to defender who's touch was poor and they pounced. When will we learn. This play out from from the back crap catches us out eventually every time. Not a strategy I'm keen on.

That's even worse.
I was hoping somebody was going to say we were experimenting with all our reserve backs and they made a mistake....but no, instead it sounds like they did something that even the U/8 team I used to coach knew not to do.

So far most of the goals we've conceded have looked like they could have come anywhere out of the last 3 years. And that IS a worry. If we can't fix the amateur hour stuff at the back, it won't matter that we don't have a striker. I have high hopes in Ziggy.

 

[MagpieMariner]

What a shit fkn camera angle...don’t they have grandstands in South Hobart

It's not South Hobart, it's Kingston, about 10k out in the bush. Well, not really in the bush, but it's not in Hobart.

Simon playing off the shoulder sums up the opposition

so true

Calmest most consistent footballer on the park tonight. Kept our team cohesive. So arrely mishits a pass or makes a bad decision. Covers. Played through balls. Literally made his first actual error in the 79th minute. Incredible. Great game. He's ready for HAL.

I'm no longer feeling optimistic about Majok.
Weemac was pedestrian again.
Our finishing is flattered by Matty's flurry.
Esposito was excellent for first half, then looked out of gas and started to make errors.
MIller very good till his horror touch in the box.
Clisby was good.
Oar was good.
Fox was average.
Matty was poor first half but played very well in the second. However Fullham is dead right. The way he succeeded tonight will not happen in the HAL.
Throw GG, Ziggy, Silvera, Kim, Duric and DDS in and I think we'll be competitive. But I have to say, I'm still not finding us convincing. And thhink we still need that injection of quality up front.
At least we have a decent keeper at last.

The play was fine, just an individual error by Miller.

I worry about over playing out form the back too. But against this opposition, we should absolutely be looking to keep the ball. That said, if I was coaching Hume, I'd be all about sitting deep and then picking key moments to press and try to capitalise on a Mariners mistake.

 

[Ironbark]

All our attacks came from crosses, too, and were mostly covered by SH. A HAL team would have laughed off our attacks of the last two games.

 

[marinermick]

We really haven't played our first eleven all season so it is difficult to gauge progress.. Nice that players are getting miles under their belts but I expect Staj will start honing in on a preferred XI nearing the start of the season when everyone is available.

Look on the bright side of the error by Miller.
In previous seasons we'd have been one nil at that point.
He would have lost the ball, dragged the player to the ground. Giving away a penalty, getting sent off and suspended for a week.
We would have been down to ten men and gone on to lose 5-1.
I'd like to think they learn from that and we won't be seeing any stupid balls from keeper to defender against better opposition.

 

[Jacob]

Haven't seen anyone mention anything about Skotadis? I thought he looked alright, considering he hasn't played many minutes with any of the boys before.

 

[joe bailey]

What would Sth Hobart be compared to here in NSW? NPL3 level? tbh don't see us doing any better than last season! and the one before that etc. etc.
