    ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.

    ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Overall, the main problem is the lack of experienced leaders in vital positions. Add to that a lot of injuries to many up and coming players and we are in a tough situation.
Many have commented that Jacko's recruitment as good as Mony's. Probably unfair as Monty had Sergio with his network. That is his problem to deal with. Also it could be that when RP left the till was empty.

For this season I would like to see are youth given as many minutes as possible to develop with an eye to the future. Throw them in, put up with the mistakes, look after them.

Given our history with Usain Bolt this guy looks like he will be our January recruit!!​

​

Gout Gout​

Gout Gout (born 29 December 2007) is an Australian sprinter.[1] He is the Australian and Oceanian record holder in the 200 metres, with a time of 20.04 seconds set in 2024.[2]

Early life​

Gout was born in Ipswich, Queensland to parents from South Sudan who moved to Australia two years before he was born. He attends Ipswich Grammar School in South East Queensland.[3] In his younger years, Gout played soccer and grew up admiring Cristiano Ronaldo as his favourite footballer, before making the decision to focus on athletics.

....

The next day, in the 200 m final, Gout ran 20.04 seconds. This time ranked as the second fastest U18 performance of all time, and made Gout only the second U18 athlete to surpass Usain Bolt's record in this category. He also broke the Australian record, held since 1968 by Peter Norman.

Kid is special. If he can fix his starts he will be just like bolt.

With Charlesworth back in charge anything is possible. We do need some speed 😂

Was just thinking about Nathan Paull, I think it's sometimes over estimated how much senior team experience he has had, simply because of his prominence early last season.

He's made less than 20 starts across the A-League, ACL & AFC Cup. He has had comparable minutes at professional level to players like Panagiotis Kikianis, Alex Bonetig, Anthony Pantazopoulos, Kaelan Majekodunmi.

I think Paull is capable of making it at A-League level, but he requires a level of playing time investment that we haven't had to give to a central defender in a while.

Triantis, Kaltak, Hall are really the outliers in how quickly central defenders can make the step up. They all had relatively seamless steps up, but a trajectory akin to Rowles is the more normal A-League development cycle.

That being said I agree with earlier posters that Windust and Larson looked better prospects but Paull is who we have committed too.

Big unit goes a long way in selection of a CB... rightly or wrongly. There have been times his height and bulk have made a difference.
