Always says that lol

He also could have been told to go home and rest - he has put in an enormous effort for someone coming from the NPL.

Victory are too good and our position on the ladder too bad to be letting petty stuff like a contract negotiation stop us from fielding our best side and with the players named that includes Millar. We can beat Victory on Saturday but will need to bring our A game to do it.

Edit - leaving the comments in place but they were made before we heard Millar signed elsewhere which changes things.

 

[MagpieMariner]

Honda still out, but MV doing OK without him.

Our A game won't cut it, we need to bring our Super A+++ game to have a chance.

Victory have had 1 clean sheet since Honda got injured and that was against Brisbane when they smashed them. There will be opportunities for us to score goals, whether we can keep them out will be the big question. We've looked better in recent times with O'Neill in the backs and this will be their biggest test so far.

Oneil has been great and so has Aspro. Rowles has made a few errors but had some stellar moments also.

New talented CB and a real LWB in and we could become somewhat defensively sound at long last.

We can't build with Millar. Cut the deadwood now and build a team that can be successful without him

Before anyone else crucifies me for that comment look at the post time. It’s well before the news of Millar’s deal broke. At the time it seemed the send home from training was a dummy spit for not accepting an extension, in that situation not playing him is petty. If he’s already signed elsewhere then it’s a much messier situation. Would have been better if it didn’t break until the new guys could play.

 

[Antlion]

Hehe fair enough

And to be fair there will be people who feel we should still play him in light of how desperately we need results. Which might be reasonable really. But personally, on principle, I don't like the behind the back nature of the deal when we'd given him his chance.

Cut him loose after the window closes

Cut him loose after the window closes

If we cut him loose, does he then become a free agent? And then can he go to any other club even though the window is closed? If that's the case, then don't let him go, make him work out his contract but don't play him.

 

[Big Al]

Cut him loose after the window closes

Free agents can sign anytime.

Make him fill the water bottles

Was planning on coming down for this match but there's a salty taste returning to my mouth.
So fkn salty at this club.

 

[Antlion]

SALTY!

Saturday could be the first time that Mariners fans get to see new signing, Jem Karacan in action at Central Coast Stadium*.

Tracking well ahead of schedule, Tommy Oar is up for selection to face Melbourne Victory after injuring his hamstring against Melbourne City.

Mario Shabow, who suffered a minor ankle sprain after a collision with Éric Bauthéac [Brisbane], is also in contention to return on Saturday evening.

Corey Gameiro’s road to recovery from a calf injury is almost complete, who has merged back into training with an aim to commence full team training next week.

*Jem Karacan's VISA has been cleared and the club await's the International Transfer Clearance from the English Football Association which we expect to occur before Saturday's match, allowing Jem to play.

I think we’ll see Jem start.
Going off today’s training photos, you can see the regulars without bibs, usually the starting XI. Anyone down to even local grade teams can pick the difference in training
Jem was without a bib.

I know i know, it’s over 24 hours from kick off. But the last time I predicted a starter was 10hours before (tommy h in the derby)

Can I get a fulltime score and first goalscorer from you mystic Michael?

 

[Wombat]

Yes. My only bet on us this weekend was for 3 or more goals to be scored.


Btw i'm hoping for a 2.1 win for us.
