Quote:GRAHAM Arnold promised he would give youth its head when he took over the Mariners, and now the Central Coast's own Brat Pack is reaping the benefits. Close-knit on and off the field, a core of the club's youth squad have graduated spectacularly into the first team this season. Helped by the fact many of them live a stone's throw apart in the north-west of Sydney, the likes of goalkeeper Matt Ryan (18), Mustafa Amini (17), Matthew Lewis (20) and Bernie Ibini-Isei (17) will all have some role to play in the finals campaign, starting with Brisbane on Saturday night. Ryan is the most spectacular success story, given his break in the wake of an injury to first choice Jess Vanstrattan and responding with a dozen clean sheets in 27 games. Amini hasn't been far behind, stepping up to cover for the injuries to playmaker Patricio Perez, and Ibini-Isei scored on his full debut a fortnight ago. Related Coverage A-League squads: Finals Week One FoxSports, 1 day ago Roar in a class of their own The Australian, 4 days ago Mariners down Newcastle FoxSports, 5 days ago Mariners kids kill off Gold Coast Herald Sun, 8 days ago Classy Mariners coast into semis The Daily Telegraph, 8 days ago "Me and Matty Lewis and Musti all played for the same club as kids, and there's a few of us went to Westfield Sports High, so we all know each other pretty well," Ryan said. "It does help to have the understanding. There's even a couple of guys in the youth team who I played with at another club so it's quite funny that we've all ended up at the Mariners. It's been been really good being so involved, not just for myself but to see Musti play such a part and now Bernie too. When Patricio [Perez] arrived we thought he was going to set the world on fire but he had a few injury problems and then Musti stepped up. He's been so good I think everyone wants to see them play together." Ryan's ascent has been remarkable, with Arnold content to give him the opportunity after Danny Vukovic had moved to Turkey and replacement Vanstrattan suffered a cruciate injury. "When I joined the club, Danny Vukovic was No. 1 and there was no hint he was going anywhere," Ryan said. "When he did obviously Jess Vanstrattan came in, and I thought maybe I would get the odd game. But the way it's worked out has amazed me, and when you think the level that Arnie has coached at, to have someone of that calibre express his confidence in me has been fantastic."  http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/soccer/keen-kids-steer-mariners-on-course/story-e6frey4r-1226007767491

Feel like some of the young lads deserve a crack as well - Berni up front , Duke as well...
Nice feeling though - I'm not worried about depth at all - I love it

Yeah that's a good question. I'm sure Arnie will look at signing a suitable CB back-up in the off-season. We don't really have a stand out youth CB either so I'd guess it'd be someone on the outer at their A-League club that would come to us relatively cheap and we would only use when Wilko or Dutchy can't play.
We are looking to have some very balanced cover next season. Our number 2's are relatively good players.
GK: Ryan. Back-up GK: Pasfield
RB: Bojic. Back-up RB: Porter/Hearfield/Sainsbury
RCB: Wilkinson. Back-up RCB: Griffiths/Bojic to CB
LCB: Zwaanswijk. Back-up LCB: Griffiths/Bojic to CB
LB: Rose. Back-up LB: Bojic to LB and Porter/Hearfield/Sainsbury to RB or Bozanic to LB and Lewis to LM.
CDM: Griffiths. Back-up CDM: Hutchinson
RM: McGlinchey. Back-up RM: Porter/Hearfield
LM: Bozanic. Back-up LM: Lewis
CAM: Perez. Back-up CAM: Amini
ST 1: Simon
ST 2: Kwasnik/McBreen/Baird/Other striker we've signed for next season.

go you yellow wrote:so do you reckon Hearfield can step in as a back up centre back as well ? No way. He's not that type of player. He can play all up the right side. To use FIFA terminology, he can play RB, RWB, RM and RW.

Once Doig's loan is up he is a free agent. There is no-way we'll re-sign him as he's on decent coin and takes up a visa spot and has played a total of about 100 minutes this year.

We have now signed Hearfield who can play at both RB and RM which is great cover for Bojic and McGlinchey. I don't know where this leaves Brad Porter though.
I am very happy with this series of events. Forza Mariners! Yeh I dont see him bursting into the starting 11, but i think he will be more influential than Porter has ever been. So generally a step up in quality.

Quote:Hearfield to leave Phoenix Troy Hearfield has announced he will leave the Wellington Phoenix at the end of this season to take up a deal with the Central Coast Mariners. Troy Hearfield will leave the Wellington Phoenix at the end of the club's playoff campaign. Hearfield has signed a deal with fellow A-League side the Central Coast Mariners. He says he's never had a better bunch of teammates than the ones at the Phoenix. However he says there comes a time when you have to look after yourself and your future. Hearfield has played 69 games in his three seasons with the Phoenix. http://www.radiosport.co.nz/SportsNews/spsoc/Detail.aspx?id=190991

With both Baird and Mrdja injured, all we've got is our Kwas and McBreen to start and we'll have to promote a NYL striker to the bench. We can rest Simon for the rest of the regular season but we need him for the finals. BRING ON BERNIE!!!!!!! YES why not !! Def give Berie a run off the bench. Would love to see what he could do with the quality that we have behind him. I think we could be pleasantly surprised.
