Actually 2/3 probably empty. 

Much like last season in bleak city with two local teams in it.

Had a feeling that sub would revitalize the City midfield. Game on. An enjoyable game to watch.

I believe he's eligible for Australia, England, Jamaica and El Salvador?

Upper main tier was closed last GF. 22k then. Tonight I can't say yet. Don't agree with the GF decision in principle but CCM fans doing excellent tonight. City, great football, fans stood with arms folded and silent apart from the goal.

Great stop Glover but would've been offside.

Will have to watch these breaks in play as I can't even register how good or poor O'Neill is in the middle tonight.

The 2nd penalty seems very harsh on Talbot. It hits his chest first and falls on the arm.

Yeah live I felt there was a pretty good case but the replay suggests it wasn't a pen.

Hill has been more reliable on transfer news than anyone tonight.

He's right. City have saved their worst for tonight. Leckie and Nabbout just nowhere. Maclaren with an assist but anonymous. Bos and O'Neill not their night. Credit to the Mariners with an excellent display tonight. Got it right to a tee.

I think Leckie did a lot of hard work, he won a lot in the air as well.
There is no way Nabbout is better than Berengeur, not good enough to start.
Maclaren was no where, did one thing all game and it was only an assist because Van Der Venne did brilliantly to put the awkward ball in the net.
If City had a striker leading the line then they would have done much better in the game.
Cummings played brilliant, Maclaren is crap.

City were poorly coached tonight. Vidosic is good as a support guy. He's not a leader. He needed to change the game tonight and instead looked a rabbit in Headlights.

Key decisions Montgomery was spot on, radosoc the opposite. 

But maybe was a bit of luck 🤷🏼‍♂️

Absolute peach of a pass with the outside of the right if that's the one you're talking about.

Beautiful goal.

Nice touch the community and special needs people included for the trophy - well done!

Good on Moresche. Kaltak, Moresche and N'kololo are the great imports for the league. The Mariners now have a status. Keep it up with local talent but two big/good marquees would be great to do now.

What would the score have been if Mariners still had Garang Kuol - maybe 9-1?! Can’t believe Nabbout started the game? Leckie, JMac and Tilio kept at bay. City choke in 3/4 grand finals now.
Well done Mariners! Killed it 👊

What a great grand final, I went to the game, and well done Central Coast Mariners, given the struggles they have had to endure over the last ten years, they have done a great job in turning things around.

It’s a bit disappointing the game wasn’t a sell out (the official attendance was 26K), but there were lots of Mariners fans and they created a great atmosphere.

Silvera would have been my Joe Marston Medal winner, though I guess you can't deny a Hat trick hero the gong. Very creative and took on Nuno Reis one on one for a brilliant goal. Fouled after another great run up the middle which should have resulted in a free just outside the 18. And as said above, a sublime pass/assist for Nkolo's goal. Also put he hard yards in defence.

Hopefully Arnie took notice.
