Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

What a f**king swizz he got an enormous head start

Geeze he reminds me of all the best players I grew up with the fell out of love with the game around 18-19. Quiet, not very well spoken publicly. But so f**king good at football. I reckon he’s quietly chuffed he listened to Monty and came back. Massive future for the kid. Honestly a Socceroo in the next 3-4 years imo

A really good example of a kid that needs to stay for a few years, like Kye.

Kye needs to go in the next break, he's out grown the league, he's wasted here.

I remember catching up with Monty at the end of season before last and him saying Jacob had decided to drop to NPL and was working with his dad to make a crust and how genuinely gutted I was.

It was therefore a huge surprise to see him back in the NPL side at the start of the following season, so thank goodness the club stayed in touch and were able to persuade him to re-sign.

Jacob is a very quiet lad, who isn’t looking for stardom or adulation, so is something of a rare breed in that he is just an honest down to earth kid who likes playing football. Hopefully being that grounded will allow him to make the best decisions for his playing career and I for one wish him the very best in wherever that takes him.

I know Jacob, and that is a fair assessment of his character

"The list goes on – academy players developed by Monty stepping up to the big stage, already steeped in his football philosophy and systems. Max Balard, Harry Steele, Cy Goddard, Matt Hatch, Harry Macarthy, Cameron Windust, Damian Tsekenis… all have played some part this year and all are testament to Monty’s ability to spot and coach a young player."

apparently we're claiming Goddard as an academy product ????

 

[FFC Mariner]

Tsekenis? Awks

 

[turbo]

pparently we're claiming Goddard as an academy product

I think the author is amazing, although anyone can make a mistake with the details in their haste to get to press sometimes.

The analysis, however, is breathtakingly insightful and accurate.

They operate on a shoestring and wouldn't survive without the ads.

It is a shame - the pages get a bit cluttered - but there are some interesting and original writers not aligned with any powers that be.
