ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. 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!

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.
You raise many good points.While I see your point, and I would agree, under normal circumstances you'd probably want to stick with a player who is no longer active... Especially as technically there's a risk, if he becomes a coach, that he could end up coaching a rival A-league team.
On the other hand, he is the last player that we have, from the inaugural squad. No matter what anyone else does in the future, it cannot change that Hutch has been an integral part of the formation of our team and of building that culture. I think the only other person that could argue that sort of influence, would be Lawrie and he's never played for us, so would be an odd choice for the medal, I think.
To some extend, Hutch has been one of the cornerstones on which the club was built and he's never shied away from that responsibility. Most definitely not the best player we've ever had, he could have been forgiven, several times, for going elsewhere or just not really engaging in the club. But more than anyones, except perhaps Matty Simon, he bleeds blue and yellow and represents many of the qualities that we look for in a player... If you note, while he has had plenty of detractors, the one thing that is always brought up is his commitment to the club.
As such, I think it makes sense to sort of elevate him as something for the other players to strive to and so, it makes sense to rename the medal in his honor I think.
Please forgive the drama of the writing though, but it seemed the best way to describe why I think it's a good idea
Dumb idea, but kind of apt coming from you.I hope that his #7 jersey gets retired in his honour
It's pretty rare for shirt numbers to be retired in football and I can only remember it happening once or twice for players who died young. Seems a bit OTT.
What he said ^^^

Rumour has it that Arnie has a position for Hutch.
So, you're going to deny the guy an income?f**k no!
No I just don't want him working for that c**t arnie
I'm sure that most of us don't want him working for arnie it's bad enough that he took clarky imo
Not really a football thing.I hope that his #7 jersey gets retired in his honour
