Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Given all the 10's we have had, Tommy P, Musty, Rogic... Nizzy may struggle to get in.

Faz IMO our best left back, Ryan would be my keeper.... Would Sans be pushed to right back with BK & Dutchy as the CB's...
Who do you want up front? McBreen, Dingo, Simmo?

Tulio on the RW?

Oh tasty, I think Niz is a given and I can't think of a better keeper than Vuka. Midfield positions are a lot harder, Max is quality but we've had some seriously good mids over the years. I don't think any of the current strikers make the cut. Who do you want at LB...Faz or Rosey?

We should do an all time worst 11 as well. I'll get it started with Kennedy, Seip and Asdrubal. Melling was pretty honking as well.
No love for Sonic?

That side walks over just about anyone from last 20 years - including Ange's Roar. Note how many from Monty's GF side too

I’d squeeze Rogic in over Sammy and work it out from there but no real complaints on this side.

How many of those won a treble and were player of the season for the league.

Niz is flexible too. Absolute walk in. The others had flair but Niz got it done.

Kaltak would also be in my 11. Vuka just over Ryan.
Faz vs Rosey - Both are very different and is a coin flip but Faz header to win the League gets him in.

The fact these guys did what they did this year as well as playing and winning in Asia gets them over the line in close calls

With no Patrick Z, no Kaltak, no Rogic, no Niz, no Danny V, no Simon, no McBreen

If you stick with your XI - then this wouldn't be a bad bench

We really are spoilt for choice for players vying for a first 11.

What about a best 23 - greatest team of the first 20 years - to start with and then we can figure out who starts and who makes the bench based on different formations?

Dutchy and Kaltak have to have been our best CBs.
I'm for Vuka over Ryan. Matty went to high places but Vuka has been better playing for us and captain.
Strikers have to be Mcbreen, Simo and Cumdog.
The rest is very difficult but I would have Niz in the team.

Don't know if it deserves a thread or not but we drew Heidelberg in the first round of the Australia Cup.

My picks for a 23 - a number of players are very adaptable.,

Mathew Ryan, Danny Vukovic

Trent Sainsbury, Storm Roux, Patrick Zwaanswijk, Kye Rowles, Josh Rose, Jacob Farrell, Brian Kaltak, Alex Wilkinson

Tom Rogic, Tom Pondeljak, Nick Montgomery, Mile Jedinak, Marco Túlio, Josh Nisbet, Patricio Perez

Mile Sterjovski, Matt Simon, John Aloisi, Jason Cummings, Daniel McBreen, Damian Mori

Pretty much mine, but I'd sub out Aloisi for Gumprecht, and possibly Mori for Hutch. And only have 4 forwards. Just feel although JA and DM were great footballers they didn't contribute as much as some of the others.

I can very much live with those tweaks.
