is it just me or do the marinators only have 1 import player (Andre Gumprecht) if so it doesnt make much sense. They only have him on the CCM website.

Why doesn't it make sense ?

They have an astute coach and have recruted some of the best (if injury prone) players in Australia.  You can have all the imports you want but a fit Mrdja and Petrovksi gives them the second best pair of strikers in the league, with Pondeljak, Gumprecht, Jedinak and a stack of others as support. 

They made the final in V1 with most of this squad and only just missed the playoffs last year after a nightmare injury run.

They're top of the league remember lads and the leagues star import Juninho wasn't good enough to stop them on Friday night.

How's my driving? - Whine here

CCM are a f**king decent team.  And most people from the other foums are giving us no chance, which is probably a good thing.  Praying for a result.  What would I do for 3 points? Stevo2007-08-30 20:30:55

Juninho is one player, he couldn't stop a whole team, and CCM are top of the league but only one match has been played.

I though CCM looked a more than decent outfit last week. To be honest, after watching last week's games I reckon an away game against this mob, without the backing of our 15000 troops, will be a far bigger test for us than the Victory were. Still fancy us to sneak the win tho' 

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

Mariners might be on top of the league, but they had the worst passing, passes completed percentage in the whole round and it was by a fair way too.
Hope you guys can roll em' tonight and with Smeltz to score a double (Hes in my fantasy league team) hehehe.
