Market11 Dec 2034

Haine Eames 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.

Market11 Dec 2034

Tim Collins asks to leave Central Coast Mariners

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Match9 Dec 2034

No end in sight to Central Coast Mariners's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Central Coast Mariners has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad11 Dec 2034

Words exchanged at Central Coast Mariners

Haine Eames and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match9 Dec 2034

No clean sheets in sight for Central Coast Mariners

4 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Match9 Dec 2034

Central Coast Mariners come up short against Perth Glory

Perth Glory left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout11 Dec 2034

The manager makes an example of Hosine Bility

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad11 Dec 2034

Nathan Morgan falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout11 Dec 2034

Thibault Caron faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Thibault Caron after 0‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

Squad9 Oct 2034

Tempers go at Central Coast Mariners

Haine Eames 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.

Stefan Turner gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Stefan Turner is on it.

The dugout9 Oct 2034

Reece Lewis knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Central Coast Mariners, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad9 Oct 2034

Jamie Morrison goes off with his country

A call-up flatters the player and the club that produced him in the same breath. Central Coast Mariners would like him back in one piece and know they will not be consulted.

The dugout9 Oct 2034

The manager makes Flynn Stewart a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Central Coast Mariners. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market31 Jul 2034

Reece Lewis has said yes to Macarthur FC

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Central Coast Mariners have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Transfer targets31 Jul 2034

Fee done, terms next for Alou Kuol

Central Coast Mariners and Western Sydney Wanderers have settled on $630.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Market31 Jul 2034

Bailey Carter asks to leave Central Coast Mariners

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market31 Jul 2034

Newcastle Jets come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Central Coast Mariners did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad31 Jul 2034

Tempers go at Central Coast Mariners

Jake Hollman 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.

Market31 Jul 2034

The Haine Eames conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Sydney FC will make the call about Haine Eames this week. Central Coast Mariners have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

The dugout31 Jul 2034

Jamie Morrison gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad31 Jul 2034

Jamie Riley signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jamie Riley commits to Central Coast Mariners for another 3 years.

The dugout31 Jul 2034

The manager has not finished forgetting Alex Robinson's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
