Mariners Squad 2022/2023

[Tevor]

Just noticed Monty in his presser say on Kaltak "he's going to be a big part of this club moving forward for the next couple of years." Cat out of the bag on a two year extension?

And some other Visa is going, I heard that as well and then started to think a mutual termination for Kelechi. Even if he gets fit good luck against Hall, Triantis and Kaltak with Windust a soild fill in if required. Seems to be where we have excess now.

Yep noticed that as well.

How has not a single journalist asked the question on what is happening with Kelechi?

Doesn't look like it.

Absolutely fantastic article about Garang,thanks Al

@pjennings put up that one Style but I’ll take the credit ?

I just made a comment on it. Which you replied to.

Was great insight and you could see how it was accurate and used during the cup

Seen a few people raving about Kaltak so here’s my humble opinion,

I think his strong points are incredible, seems to be on the end of nearly every single defending/attacking set piece in his vicinity and uses his strength and physicality incredibly well.

However there’s still a few heart in mouth moments in terms of his positioning & passing / playing out from the back.

If he can sort that out I think we have an absolute top shelf A Liga centre half.

I feel he may not be used to playing on the Left as well. Someone had to go left and seems it’s been him. I am not to sure how much LCB he has played.

His dribble is a little heavy hence the turnover that led to his yellow card.

Also his passing with his left is non existent.

Certainly improving and had a couple of good games but still work to do but i think signing him has been justified.

I still think Triantis and Hall should be the preferred pair but have no issues with Kaltak at present

 

[Big Al]

I’m more worried about Danny with the ball at his feet than Kaltek. He just lets the opposition close himself down and im sure it won’t be long before he has a Matt Ryan moment…

Think it was the Sydney game. They pressured him like Newy did at one point but he was better prepared and opened his body to allow the ball to go past and him used the angle better plus the ball wasn’t hit as hard right at him but they obviously worked on whatever went wrong which was good to see

I still shuddered every time he let them get close...

Not really - missing an easy chance is just as bad as making a bad mistake that leads to a goal. We just criticize keepers and defenders more.

0-0 because you didn't score is a lot better than losing 1-0 because you took your eye off the ball

0-0 because you missed a sitter still loses you 2 points

Ha. Nice try from the defenders Union PH. Strange how being rational or even correct just doesn’t cut it sometimes though.

You almost win a thousand bucks… and it’s “Damn! So close! Bloody hell” with maybe a chuckle and a rueful smile,

Lose or get fined a thousand bucks… and you’re ready to see the whole world burn for its crimes against humanity.

Strikers been gaslighting defenders as long as the game existed.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Yes but only because since the dawn of time they’ve been costing us goals

 

[JoyfulPenguin]

With us looking fairly light on in central midfield beyond Nisbet, Balard and Steele with regularly one being injured and having no option off the bench would nabbing someone like Seb Pasquali from Western or Liam Rose be a good idea?

 

[priorpeter]

Triantis is also an option there, one which Monty approves of. James Bayliss is also available as a scholarship option there, as is Maksim Kasalovic who made his debut against Sydney in the cup earlier this year. Another option coming through is Lachie Bayliss who has played 9, 10, and 8 in the academy this year and is a joy to watch.
Shame about Tappy’s injury; he would’ve been ready to slot in there if need be IMO!

 

[FFC Mariner]

Bayliss is a gem.

 

[turbo]

Shame about Tappy’s injury;

Is he gone for the season ?

 

[Corsair]

Yes I think Pete previously said that

I’ve been wondering where Kasalovic has been, he looked VERY good in the NPL games I managed to watch and was good in his debut. Is he full time with the first team?

 

[priorpeter]

Unfortunately yes, did his ACL in the League One grand final. Good news is he is tracking ahead of schedule in his recovery. Could be available toward the back end of the NPL season but it’s likely Mont will want to give him a full pre-season with the first team.

Yeah I believe he’s another scholar, so would be training full time. Also saw he has been listed in the NPL squad for 2023. Very tidy player.
