Squad

A knee injury of the worst kind for Lucas Mauragis

103 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Central Coast Mariners lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Boardroom

Central Coast Mariners spell it out for Interim Coach

The board’s statement ran to three sentences and one of them mentioned results. Interim Coach has managed long enough to translate: win soon, or the next statement is shorter.

Squad

A fracture rules Kristian Popovic out for 28 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Central Coast Mariners will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Boardroom

The Central Coast Mariners board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Market

Oliver Lavale is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Central Coast Mariners is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Jai Ajanović for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Central Coast Mariners will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.
