Impending stats, facts and trivia
Damian Mori will be aiming to add to his record tally of 235 goals scored in all Australian national league competitions since 1989 when he fronts up against Perth Glory, his former Hyundai A-League club. After two goals against Sydney last week, Mori's all-time tally of 235 goals is now 98 ahead of Australia's second-highest all-time scorer, Rod Brown, who scored 137 goals in the old national league from 1983 to 1998.


Tarka's a big blow for us...Has been as solid as a rock in defence for us this season and it looked as though he was finally over his bad run of injury and then he gets a sligt twinge in his groin.

Paul Pezos will make his A-League debut this week after signing on a 4 week short term contract to replace the injured Mark Robertson.

Should be a good game with alot at stake...Im worried about this one being a glory supporter but ill say a 1-1 draw.

[bobandbill]

BRING IT ON!!!
It should be an interesting match, and - hopefully - our good run with you at home continues.
Yeah, Tarka has been quite good for you, so I wonder who would replace him...

[mariners4ever]

cant wait for the game i wont be suprised if vuko and jedinak were dropped again.
hopefully when gumps and mjda are back mori can cover for boogard who's out fo 6 more weeks

[DJ]

I think if we can take care of the wings (Bertos and Laza) we should win. 1 of Perths big improvements this year has been service to the strikers, as already said it should be a cracking game!

2-1 Mariners with Mori to open the scoring

[Farthing]

Yea i think we need to really watch out for Bertos and Laza they have been playing good this year. I think with the form mori is in we can find cracks in the perth defence and hopefully keep our perfect record at home against perth in tact

[robc]

No mention of Damian Brown

[pipray]

I know!
Why is Brown not playing and not even mentioned? Can anyone enlighten us?
Can't wait for tomorrow night!
Goooo Mariners!

[mariners4ever]

i dont know why brown isnt in the squad instead of vuko or jedinak

[NOMESSSS.]

Good Luck to you guys too.
Congrats on your sportsmanship.
And your right, maye the best team win.
I agree with DEEEEEG that if we can shut down Bertos and Laza than we will be sweet.
Somebody..ANYBODY!Tell us whats wrong with Browny..I miss him out there!

[Nah.]

Thatks mate, Im guessing a draw, maybe 2-2...
I'd prefer a win, but a draw is better than a loss.

[antihero]

Look for Petrie to have a good game - he seems to like playing against Perth

[keensy]

i think Clarkie being on the field for the full game will be an integral part in us shutting down the wings(well atleast one side of it anyway). Last game we played them he came off injured very early on(10mins maybe) and that left a big hole

[razza]

I would play the same team as last week. Hopefully Stringers and Hutcho pull through cause i thought Lawrie got it spot on last week.

Laza carved us up last time in Perth. We need to keep him very quite if we want 3 points. Always confident when we play Perth. 2-0 Mariners with an average crowd of 7200 after rain strikes again.

[wombat]

I think if we can put the same side out again we will win 2.1 with Mori & Hutcho scoring.

I hope its doesn't rain although we played possible the best Football we played all last year in the rain..4.0.

[peterss]

Theres two different stories going around Perth as to who will replace Tarka

One is that Pezos will start in defence and the other is that we will have a re-shuffle with Webster moving from the middle of the park to a wing back with AK (Kovacevic) replacing Tarka in centre of defence with Harnwell.

Good to see you guys taking notice of Leo...The Kids a gun...One of the signings of the season if you ask me...Surprised no other A-League club picked him up last season or this season before us..Especially NZ seeing as he is a Kiwi after all...Hes been a bit down on form the last few weeks but hes still been decent.

[Candy]

Another win would be great! i hope it ends that way, we can then jump a spot on the ladder! if we play the same team and play like we did against sydney we can win for sure!

[johnnywarren]

peterss - you sound like a good bloke with good sportsmanship, so tell me being an away game will there be any perthites coming over to the mariners. hope so. would be good and did you know that you only need more than 10 supporters to have more at a mariners game than goldjets and his squadron ;D

I doubt any from Perth will travel over as the shed's TOD is scheduled to Gosford later on in the season - 10th December

We have a few Sydney based Glory supporters but based on what ive been reading so far it seems as though most arent going due to other dtuff...Geordie_Glory who you all know well is in London so he wont be there - You may get 2 or 3 at the msot i would imagine.

[greenpoleffc]

I think it will be same starting 11 as last week (why change a winning team and all that). Sully to replace Vidmar late on.

I like the way Perth playand it will be a good game IMHO.

2-0 and a crowd of 8,356

[Ursus]

5-1 Mariners. ;D
