Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[Michael]

wenzell-halls has family on the coast too. So it’s adding up. Prob announce tomorrow.
It’s not an awful signing IF he buys into our culture and settles. Another young player not trusted by aloisi. We did almost sign him from NPL before Brisbane did too. He showed real promise and scored good goals.

honestly I’d prefer defensive back up, but not unhappy if this happens.

 

[Michael]

give him a go no body thought cummings was a good idea originally in monty and serge we trust

Anybody who thought Dingo was going to be a bad signing honestly has no f**king clue. He was always going to be a success here.

 

[Michael]

Looks imminent then. It’s going to be hard seeing him in our shirt. I’ll give him a go but he really needs to prove himself. Perhaps he is in next seasons plans as I’m sure we will have a few move on to greener pastures.

What’s your gripe with him?

 

[Hello Sailor]

IF he buys into our culture

This. I liked the look of him when he was with Brissie, but as Bikini Girl said he comes across as a bit of a dick.

There were people who had doubts originally I thought he would be good but their were people who doubted him originally

Attitude, if he can turn that around like Silvera I’ll be happy but not all young blokes can change their attitudes. Time will tell.

The other thing I like about DHW is that he's a championship winner which may not seem like a big deal but having that winning mentality and experience could benefit a group like ours.

I'm not too fussed one way or the other about his signing. But this is a good point, not only has that experience, but he contributed significantly to their success, played very well in the big games.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

The only thing that concerns me is that they are possibly looking to fill a so far not made public gap in the forward line.

Ayongo sized hole or a Beni sized hole?! I don't think it'll be JC, then again if the fee was big enough...maybe that's what the email was about.

This 100%.

 

[crock]

def not cummings he is staying

Ayongo sized hole or a Beni sized hole

If we were going to sell or cut one of them loose at some stage for Moresche to return it might make sense for it to happen in this window. DWH fills the immediate need until he's back and up to speed and is a player we could make money on if we can get him firing. He isn't a youngster anymore at 25 but could still move abroad.

Thought he was younger than 25, his record is not that flash when you think about it and his age. What you are saying makes sense but he is still a pretty big gamble in my opinion. No faith in Dor Jok then, I can understand this though as he hasn't shown a lot in his chances to date.

I'm surprised he's got the minutes he's had tbh. Likely because nobody else was at his heels for them. NPL or a minor OS league seems plausible and this window would fit if its to NPL.

☹️
I can’t imagine DWH being an adequate replacement for literally any of our front line?
Edited to say.. except possibly Ayongo.

 

[Josho Howe]

I love the talk around gaps in our forward line when we're a league leading 29 goals in 14 games and have the seemingly imminent signing of another striker to contribute. I get the apprehension for DWH but l trust in Monty and Serg that they can get the best out of him and at 25, still has a lot to contribute imo. I could be completely wrong and it doesn't turn out well, but l see this signing as a positive.

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

I actually rate Dylan and think he is just suffering from the Aloisi effect (trademark pending) of destroying players' careers.

He was very good for Brisbane and got in great positions for Western, and at the very least is an upgrade on Ayongo/Jok.

 

[Michael]

Dylan fits out playing style well. He presses hard and effectively has good ability on the ball, good link play and is lightning quick (the only thing our attack lacks, REAL pace)

 

[Meerkat]

Well. It’s going to be a little funny if, after all this build up, he doesn’t actually turn up ?‍♀️?
