    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.

And bozanic making it look better and better a decision to get rid of him. Completely ineffective.
Balard's performances lifted from literally the game that Bozanic got dropped and he hasn't stopped improving since. It doesn't matter how good or poor Boz is now tbh, because the decision to get rid of him is 100% justified by the fact that it directly led to us having the best central midfield pairing in the A League for the last 12 months (although not everyone has cottoned on yet).

Bozanic would be better dropping to one of the NST teams.He is no longer A-League standard but would provide experience for a team in that competition.

Disagree slightly on this.

Max was up and down that first 6 months when he replaced boz, he didn’t immediately hit his potential. It took him a while to grow into the role and become the player he is developing into.

Don't think we are disagreeing too much. Wasn't suggesting Max immediately became the player he is now. But he was a better and more confident player without Bozanic alongside him. And we won 8 and drew 2 (including the 10 man draw v WSW) of the next 11 once Oli was dropped, playing good football and scoring lots of goals, and I think Max and Niz's contribution to that run was vastly underrated.

Brisbane are decent this year. Really impressed with Lofthouse on the wing.

Adelaide were rubbish and Irankunda was crying like Oliver McCall in the ring.....very interesting......he is not ready for the Bundesliga.
I haven’t rated Adelaide this season yet and a bit like the Nix in having a charmed start. Yes agree the Roar are looking very good given they also had two injury subs in the first half hour.

Good to see Marco’s team getting ripped by Bruno.
