Mariners Squad - HAL 13 - 2017- 2018

[BrisRecky]

Galloway and Pain worked well together I thought

Agreed, Pain went to shit when Galloway got shifted over to the other side of the pitch

Not part our current squad - but we did trial him. Chis Oldfield becomes an Australian citizen on the 10th April. Bray was preferred to him because he was not a visa player but Oldfield has consistently been the best keeper in the Vic NPL over the last few years.

Sign him up

Josh rose announced his retirement last night. Finishing at seasons end. While the game had obviously passed him a bit this year, he will still be known as someone who bled yellow. I hope he moves into a community role similar to Kwasy.

Already involved coaching the Mariners junior development squads with Monty. Good luck to him and he will be an asset to the club for years to come.

SO, Rose the Elder is pulling the pin after the scummers game....have to say, since he got back from Melbourne Shitty he wasn’t overly consistent But , over the years he had his moments , so Thanks Rosey , cheers for everything

With only Baro, McGing, Roux, Brama, Hiariej, Berry, De Silva, Buhagiar & Hoole signed the new manager has plenty of scope to build a squad.

How many (if any) do you think we will lose due to Paulo departure?

Million $$ question. I reckon it depends on who we sign to coach them.
Thus its the key signing for next season, more important than signing a proper centre forward.

Could also ask, how many would we have lost if Okon was re-signed?

Of those off contract excluding Josh we have

Let go
Glover - probably cheap but would prefer Oldfield to push or push out Kennedy
Pearce - don't need a 3rd Keeper
Bingham

Keep
Kennedy - serviceable but can do with someone to push him
Golec - keep if recovered to play as LB
Rowles - good prospect
Rose - finally showing something
Pain - definite stay but maybe not a starter

Undecided leaning towards let go
Poscoliero - we need someone at least of the calibre of Rowles but hopefully closer to Baro's quality
Melling - need better
Skapetis - need better but might be kept as backup on depending on strikers signed
Powell - smart but slow

 

[Coastalraider]

One of the stories relating to the Okon split said senior team members had bought the subject of no confidence up with management prior to the decision for him to leave.

If there i any truth to that - I doubt many of the quality players would leave. You might lose a brat or 2, but we seem to be able to source inexperienced, average Australian youths at will.

Who was the brainiac that resigned Roux?

 

[scottmac]

Who was the brainiac that resigned Roux?

In all honesty he was going well before the leg break. Hasn't really got it all back

Who was the brainiac that resigned Roux?

I'd love for roux to resign, wish we hadn't re-signed him.
Sorry grammar nazi OCD thing.

I'd only change skapetis to keep. He looks a proper striker and imo would be a serviceable backup/ forward partner.

Would replace Posco with Themba Muata Marlow he is fantastic for APIA. Keep Posco as an injury replacement for Golec while he is injured. Bring in all the top NPL strikers, Matt Thurtell, Davey Van Schip, Kieran Sanders, Anthony Costa, Sam Smith, Liam Boland, Elvis Kamsoba, Brayden Crowley, Alex Salmon as well any strikers released from A-League clubs and academies and of course Bingham and Powell. Have a camp and whoever can perform the best wins a contract.

Spring training like MLB

The last few games I've liked what Rosebud has been doing. Not always the right thing, but he's been much more vocal and looking to control his patch of turf. He mad a few really positive runs, also directed traffic, barking orders at team mates. Good to see, hopefully he gets confidence back and continues to rebuild.

He's not the superstar we were hoping for, but much to my surprise, I think he has the potential to grow to add a bit of mongrel... I'm starting to think it might be worth holding on to him after all. For all that he has been making some rash tackles the last couple of times I've seen him, and I'd hate to see him turn into a new Muscat (K OR M), I think it shows that he's learning to deal with the more physical aspects of the game - something that he was very much struggling with even just last season... He's still good decent vision and technical skills, he could combine them all to show something special yet.
