I'm a striker.
im so goodat it :)

Hi, I coach U11's in Canberra. We have a really talented and fast back line and we press high up the park a lot. Any advice for my defenders on managing breakaway runs from the opposition?

you guys did really well this season and deserved to win the gf !!! better luck next year xx

Good luck tonight & for rest of the season. Great that CCM are part of history @ AAMI Park. Proud to be there. All the best.

WIth the season starting this week the excitement and anticipation at the Mariners is growing. We have had a long but successful pre season in which we finished undefeated in all games. So now we are concentrating on getting a positive result first up against Melbourne Heart. They are the latest A-League franchise to enter the competition and i'm sure will be looking to get a win from there first ever match. Tune in on Thursday night for what i'm sure will be a cracker.

Pre season has started and so has a new era at the Mariners. For the first time in 5 years we have a new coach in Graham Arnold. He is with the Socceroos at the moment but when the World Cup is over he will start full time with us. I'm sure Grahams experience will help the Mariners have a big season. Pre season has been tough so far but it is great to be back with the team and we are looking forward to the start of the season. We play our first trial match on Thursday 17th June against the local state league team Central Coast Lightning.

The last 4 weeks at the Mariners have been exteremely disappointing. 4 losses in a row has been very hard to take but we must remain positive and look for a big win on New Years Eve against Wellington. It is usually our biggest crowd of the season and we need as much home support as possible to help us get 3 points. Lastly i want to wish everyone a very happy new year and a wonderful 2010.

C'mon Alex... Don't let Laurie grab all the headlines.. He's only got 270 followers on Twitter and you are about to break thro 1,000 friend on myFootball!!!!

Good post, great cause. Thanks also 4 takin the time to keep everyone updated.

In last weekends game against the Gold Coast you may have noticed i was wearing red laces in my boots. This is part of the 'Lace up and Save Lives' campaign run by Nike in conjunction with the charity 'RED', to raise funds and create awareness for HIV/AIDS in Africa. The idea is to buy some red laces from participating stores for $5 and 100% of proceeds go towards medicating and treating AIDS victims while also rasing awareness through community based football programs. Just under 4000 people die per day in Africa from HIV/AIDS so it is extremely important that we all get behind this wonderful initiative and grab a pair of red laces to show your support.

After 5 consecutive away games it will be great to get back to Bluetongue stadium this week and play in front of our home fans. We have faired quite well on the road recording 3 wins 1 draw and 1 loss. Our last 2 matches have been the most memorable. A great win down in Melbourne followed by a clinical performance up in Townsville. It was great to see our midfielders and strikers scoring quality goals 2 weeks in a row. So we are hoping for a huge Mariners crowd this friday night to help us continue our good form and to cement our place in the top four.

gr8 result against Melbourne. Has to be the best in the Mariners short history. Well done

Over the last month we have recorded 1 win 2 draws and a loss. So it has been a bit up and down for us at the Mariners lately. A tough away trip to Wellington ended all square which is a decent result over there. That was followed by a 1-0 loss to Sydney in which we were poor first half but improved in the second and with some luck could have come away with a bit more. A disapointing draw with the Fury was next in which we took the lead after just 15 seconds. We just didn't go on with it and put them away while we were dominanting and it came back and bit us in the second half. Last week we had a great win away at the Roar. We have only won up there 3 times in A-League history so that made it even more special. This week we continue or rivalry with Newcastle in our biggest derby. All the boys really enjoy these games and this one will be another cracker i'm sure.

heyyy

hi alex
good luck this week

Man I need a pair of soccer shoes from you as you know NSW Premier League is starting soon and the shoes i was using last season are broken and it is hard for me to get new one as i am not living with my father and mother here in Australia. It will be a great thank if you do that Alex.

GOOD LUCK THIS WEEK AGAINST Wellington

Good luck this weekkend I wish you and your team the best.

Thanks for the update on GCU game. One of the biggest results in HAL history and keeps the competition very open. Great tactics by Lawrie and great performance by all players, well done.

Perfect. Thanks Alex. I've added a link to the C of C website. You can check it out here http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?client=1-5924-0-0-0&sID=81081&&news_task=DETAIL&articleID=10081764§ionID=81081

Well its been a reasonable month for us at the Mariners. We have had 2 wins and 2 losses from our last 4 games. Our win against Perth was especially memorable for me because i scored my first A-League goal. About time! Last weekends win against the Gold Coast was fantastic. Noone apart from us thought we would win and to play so well and score 3 goals was very satisfying. The challenge now is to back it up against the Phoenix in New Zealand which is always a very tough place to go and get points.

HI ALEX
that was the best game C'coast has eva play for yrs.

Congrats on the goal on Friday. The block from Pellegrino with a few minutes to go was just as important. Well done.

Did you ever play in Football NSW Champions of Champions tournament http://www.sportingpulse.com/assoc_page.cgi?c=1-5924-0-0-0&sID=79358 when you were a kid?
If you have time to write a quick sports log wishing all participants good luck I can link it to the tournament website.

Agreed would be good to see a big Canberra crowd turn up and give them a high scoring entertaining game Good luck.

yeah good love my footy can't wait till finals get uderway!

4 games into the season and we have had a reasonable start to the campaign. 1 win 2 draws and a loss is a bit of a mixed bag but we are hoping to get another win this weekend. We play Perth in Canberra on Friday night. They are on a roll with 2 wins in a row and have a very strong squad full of experience. We hope the Canberra public turn out in big numbers wearing their yellow and navy to cheer us on.

hi alex

Great result. Well done. Good luck for the season.

Well what a great start we had to the A-League. It is always a very tough game playing down in Melbourne so to come away with a win was fantastic. That win will give us a huge confidence boost going into our local derby with Newcastle on friday 14th August. The local derbys against Newcastle are always full of passion and as a player these are the games you enjoy most.
