Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[Hello Sailor]

Hes been ok in his last couple appearances.

I've seen him make a few errors I would normally put down to fatigue but they were made soon after being subbed, eg wayward passes including one that went over the sideline.

 

[Hello Sailor]

Rogic for a swan song ?

Bamford is on $135,000 pw. No chance its Lord Bamford and he is rubbish anyway.

So if we have $200k up our sleeve from Tulio we could afford him for about 10 (game) days?

 

[Corsair]

Tapp upgraded to Aleague contract.

Tapp upgraded to Aleague contract.

Well deserved. Will be excellent in the 4-3-3 system jacko’s got us playing. Also offers decent cover at CB. Fantastic player and a top young man, thrilled for him.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Base of the 3 and able to drop in at CB.

How does Tappy rate against Steele?

 

[Big Dog]

How does Tappy rate against Steele?

Different types of player but both versatile in their own way. Tappy a more robust type player and as Mariner has said can drop into CB. Steely has already shown himself capable at CM and LB. With Niz being moved forward it provides a bit of depth

 

[Huddo]

True, but now we have no Sergio contacts

Do we though?

 

[Huddo]

Let's just see if he can find gold?

With AFC matches coming up, its hard to see the Football logic,

Obviously like all decisions its a short term financial one... long term financial would be to keep and help grow the crowd....

Until the league as a whole lifts, I can't see the pattern changing....

The Cows, WU, & arguably Nix don't value add IMO to the league as a whole.... they merely pay their bills on time.

We get a couple of visa player buys wrong and we are looking at the spoon...

Jacko & Rich, need to become an expert in finding the next batch....

We didn’t add value to the league for a whole lot of years.

And we weren’t paying the bills on time either. ??‍♂️

We should have been given the arse

 

[Corsair]

Transfer window is 11 Jan - 7 Feb.

2 Visa's + 3 locals?

If the league took that approach it would be a comp with victory, Sydney, city and new clubs every year. At some point every other club has added no value.

And most clubs have been helped financially by the FFA/FA . Have we been?

 

[Stuartmcateer]

And most clubs have been helped financially by the FFA/FA . Have we been?

Maybe that time the club was allowed to have 2 marquee players outside the cap because aloisi signed as an injury replacement for (what I recall was) a minimum wage defender. ??‍♂️

 

[pjennings]

That helped us win the league but was not financial assistance that each of the other original Australian clubs have received.

 

[Ancient Mariner]

FFA owned a small percentage of CCM for the first few years.

So did Ian Kiernan and Ken Done.
