Mariner stuff not worthy of a whole thread

Maybe future CEO APL....

Sadly Max doesn't meet the criteria, he's not a completely feckless incompetent dickhead

Seriously impressive, can see why Monty wanted to groom him for Captain.

How many kids with that kind of talent have the patience and discipline to seek a degree let alone a double at a very prestigious university...

Well done to Max Balard.Doing a double degree( especially during the Covid years) is some achievement as well as playing elite level football.

Amazing stufff from Max. This would taken incredible discipline and hard work.

Was a full-time study load as well. Kid is seriously smart, scored something like 98.00 for his ATAR.

Full time course load is no joke on it's own without the commitments of being a professional athlete. Smart and obviously disciplined.

I’d actually love to see a breakdown of that - I know a heap of families up on the north end of the coast that don’t do the later games as you won’t be home until 10. As the ‘family club’ - having games at family friendly times will most likely increase crowd sizes?

It's tough. As a Sydney based supporter, the night games are damn hard now that we've got a couple of kids.

Late night games get harder for Sydney travellers as they get older, not to mention the Russian roulette with the Utes on the freeway during the drive up on a Friday evening.

I spoke to Max today and congratulated him on the double degree.
He was actually blown away that we were discussing it on the forum and I let him know how proud we all were of this magnificent achievement...

I also spoke to DWH who`s a really decent young man.
He reckons he is 100% fit now so hopefully he gets a few runs soon.

In fact every single player,coach and backroom staff we have came and said hello to dad and I which was very impressive and very appreciated.
The Mariners have really proved to be the best medicine in his remarkable recovery and I thank everyone of them sincerely.

How a coach who helped develop two of the world's best goalkeepers landed on the Central Coast

Portuguese coach worked with stars like Ederson and Oblak in their teenage years during stints in academies at Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.

We’re honestly pretty lucky to have the coaches we do, outside of the club Serg flies under the radar… x10 for miguel who flies under the radar amongst the majority of even our own fan base.

I hope these two help bring more Portuguese/brazilian talent to us when possible. So many people here don’t understand how good and how accessible the Portuguese leagues are for the aleague. I’ve been saying it for quite a while now, since atleast the mulvey days, So much personal satisfaction at how Tulio has turned out after Monty and Serg tapped the Portuguese market for him.

I hope we are looking after Monty, Sergio and Miguel enough in every way, that they can see no reason to move from the Coast.
It is becoming very clear that they are more valuable than any player by an order of magnitude.

In fairness Miguel flies under the radar in part because of our own hit-and-miss comms strategy - we never even announced we had a new GK coach (or even that the last one had left).

 

[FFC Mariner]

We have a comms strategy?
I thought they just spammed Facebook and hoped for the best

Just realized if we dont lose monty before next season he will be first mariners coach since arnie to have got to a third season as coach at the club
