    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.

It was Dean Benton's appointment that most concerned me. I looked at the blurb that came with his appointment and saw he had coached strength and conditioning to a massive number of teams across a massive number of sports.
However, he never seemed to have stayed long with any one sport or team. That caused me a little concern.
I do not know the different requirements of strength and conditioning across all these sports but I would be surprised if one size fits all.
I think I may have felt more comfortable with someone whose entire career had been in football like Andrew Clark.
Just y thoughts but we do seem to be having a lot of injuries this year.

. my other issue ... if i am remembering the announcement correctly .... is that Benton was going to be 'dialing in'

I hadn’t actually heard Cade’s name mentioned until yesterday. Is he different to the guy originally appointed to replace Brice? Comment yesterday said “young and experienced.” Otherwise I know nothing about him,
Squad does seem to lack last seasons fitness though.
Cade’s been around since 2020 (maybe even earlier!) - started out in S&C with the academy and went full time with the A-League squad in 2022, working under Brice. He’s now head of S&C, working under the new Head of Performance.

Dean Benton is our new Head of Performance, right? Have you met him yet?
