Market

Central Coast Mariners say no — this time

The offer from Melbourne City for Haine Eames was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets

Central Coast Mariners rebuffed over Sebastian Despotovski

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Perth Glory have kept their man, and Central Coast Mariners go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Tempers go at Central Coast Mariners

Harry Sawyer was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Central Coast Mariners try to borrow Antwoine Hackford

AFC Wimbledon have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Central Coast Mariners try to borrow Arnas Voitinovičius

Benfica have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Perth Glory have kept their man, and Central Coast Mariners go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Tempers go at Central Coast Mariners

Storm Roux was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Eli Adams remains an outsider

A year in and the city has not opened up, the language has not come, and lunch is eaten alone more often than anybody at Central Coast Mariners would admit. It shows on Saturdays.

The dugout

Patrick Evans asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad
