Mariners Squad 2023/2024

[marinermick]

He wasn't one of the two I heard. Getting concerned now. Just to confirm I heard one was going and another now open to offers for

Same

 

[FFC Mariner]

As wide backs and wings we have Millard, Farrell, Roux, Theoharous, Di Pizio, & Hammond.

Smith has been mooted and Hall can play RB. If Moresche plays he often comes in from the right.

Mor-who now? Reading above looks like he is heavily speculated to be 1 of the ones out the door

 

[booney]

At least he is not going to Newcastle otherwise we would have to put up with Beni and the Jets jokes/posts.

Sorry to see him go -he was great in the GF and in the games leading up to it/

Would be happy for Noah Smith to come back

 

[Insertnamehere]

Some work to do to bring the overall quality of the squad up. Fortunately we have a solid backline and central CMs so its really the go forward and goals that are the concern.

 

[Big Al]

Can’t get my head around the club agreeing to release Beni without some form of compensation, as that appears to fly in the face of the supposed business model.

Plus, surely any fee he might have commanded would literally be petty cash in the Saudi league? Some further explanation of the rationale behind this announcement wouldn’t go amiss.

Sounds like we tried and nothing came through.

Only 1 yr left so no time to make money off him apart from now.

Also a visa so maybe the open spot is worth more than Beni being here unhappy for 1 more year.

The giraffe on skates ended up being a pretty good player whose ability to control the ball and transition us into attack will actually be missed

 

[Big Al]

I am loving the flying brick hints in here. Is so much easier than trying to work out difficult links. Thanks everyone makes life easier.

 

[BrisRecky]

So, benny gets let go so he can be closer to family in France, but goes to the desert... WTF

 

[Tevor]

Millard, Farrell, Roux, Theoharous, Di Pizio, & Hammond.

Hmmmm, wish I had your optimism.

 

[pjennings]

Not optimism - just who we have at the moment. The other point is that we may be trialing visa players away from prying eyes in Thailand. No matter what, we are not playing Australia Cup with half a squad and mostly NPL players in the first week of our pre-season, as has happened before.

Here's 20 players we do have, 10 of which featured on Grand Final day.

Vukovic, Warshawsky, Millard, Farrell, Kaltak, Paul, Hall, Windust, Roux, Balard, Nisbet, Tapp, Steele, Theoharous, Di Pizio, Tulio, Kuol, Wenzell-Halls, Reec, Hammond

If it is true we are losing another 1-2 visa players then we have the capacity to bring in 2-3 visa players. I would be looking at a CB and 2 wide attackers that can also play centrally.

Yep, despite the out goings we’re still not in such an awful place as we have been previously. The building blocks are in place to remain quite competitive and even the least knowledgeable fan can be confident Monty and Serg will be bringing in quality replacements.
Most of us know the biggest key right now is Monty.




Surely no one here was expecting us to defend our championship? We’ll be competitive and go from there. Trust.

Owner was deadset on us being in a position to seriously compete for the AFC Cup. Thought we would retain a lot more.

That might mean strengthening some areas.

Owner is only interested in one thing

Hasn't his kid gone overseas?

Trialing in Portugal i believe.

I think you’re overestimating the overall quality of the afc cup

 

[Ancient Mariner]

The man calling the shots is not the owner. He is a leaseholder with an option to be a 51% owner.
Could be worth remembering as the lease expiry draws closer.

French Foreign Legion

 

[Allreet?]

Sad to see Beni go. Was really turning into a decent player.

 

[Allreet?]

Is Di Pizio ready to step up?
