The kid does have something about him, but his highlights a few and far between. Game against Sydney FC didn't even know he was on park until he got a yellow in the second half.

BTW...he turns 19 today i think.

So membership drive has started with optimism as usual. Great to hear about Umbro taking over from the disaster that was KAPPA (just one of the many issues club management need to reflect on hard).
Yet we have signed 3 ex Shitney FC players and then 1 home game in first 7 rounds. Totally uninspiring.
How the hell do we bring the crowds back?????????????????????

My expectations for this upcoming season are rock-bottom but I've renewed my membership and will be there to support the team as always...

Hoping more than believing we will go well. We desperately need a quality number 10. Any marquee fund players out there that the FFA would be willing to provide us with? Best I can think of is Holman though he will probably end up at a club who will actually put out the cash for him.
My best XI for round one so far would probably be:
Necevski
Roux (Adelson if injured) Faty Ascroft Neil
Montgomery Tavares
Liam Rose
Ferriera O'Donovan Pain

Posco has to be there either as CB or RB

That's exactly the attitude all teams need. It's awesome to win, and it's easy for me to say as a Victory fan, but if you can just go to support your team and enjoy the atmosphere, then you're a true fan.

Ccm need a number ten and could use another experienced striker.

Ah indeed forgot about him, would probably put him at Right back then

Yeah I would like to see Roux given an extended run further up the pitch and Posco at RB. Obviously doesn't have Ferreira's flair but the portugese is too much of a liability in defence. Impact player off the bench for mine.

I would say Storm will struggle this year, most players do after an injury like the one he had. I think a mixture of Buhagiar and Ferriera at Right Wing would do the trick (if we can somehow convince Fabio to defend).

Even Jose failed at that

True - wouldn't be surprised if Bingers plays RW and Fab comes on as an impact player at either LW or RW.

Storrie going ?

The apathy is probably from no-one knowing what he actually did

Attenzione: CCM fans

Trying to get the Contracts thread accurate.

http://forum.insidesport.com.au/2371452/ALeague-Player-Contracts-201617

Does the below look right for CCM?

Yep that looks right Pv4, rumors that Appiah-Kubi and Galloway will be re-signed with Poscoliero rumored to being going to Perth or Newcastle. Faty and Tavares are definitely gone, just not officially yet. Adelson and Neill are most likely gone as well but once again not official yet. 

So we’ve got 14 players currently contracted.

If De Silva and Buhagiar depart as is expected, we’ll be down to 12.

Mulvey has some serious recruiting to do.

I REALLY hope Mulvey signs a new #1 GK. Kennedy simply isn’t up to it. He’s in the Necevski category of a GK who should be a career #2.

We only have 10 players contracted for next season. If De Silva and Buhagiar go we’ll be down to 8. I'm not taking DDS and Trent going as a given as SBS and the Covert Agent rarely get anything right about the Mariners. It may happen but a broken watch is also right twice a day. 

Are you sure? This Golec re-signing article from today lists 14 players:

https://www.ccmariners.com.au/news/antony-golec-commits-mariners

Central Coast Mariners Squad
Goalkeepers: Adam PEARCE, Ben KENNEDY
Defenders: Alan BARO, Antony GOLEC, Jake McGING, Kye ROWLES
Midfielders: Adam BERRY, Wout BRAMA, Tom HIARIEJ, Jacob MELLING, Danny De SILVA
Attackers: Trent BUHAGIAR, Andrew HOOLE, Connor PAIN

Yes Pearce, Rowles, Pain and Melling are off contract 31/5/2018. Some of them may be re-signed but at this stage they are not contracted for next season.

Rowles and Pain the only ones worth keeping there?

Yeah would like to keep Pain and Rowles.

So we kept Melling.

Your boy Gameiro has knocked up Lucy Zelic

Corey finally scored.

Was it a tap in?

😂😂😂

Long range effort
