Chaotic as this is, I truly feel Australian football needed it. This is the kind of atmosphere most clubs can only dream of. Epic! And truly deserved. Three times around the world-distance wasn’t for nothing!

What a terrific story the Central Coast Mariners are, and how lucky Australian football is to have them.
I personally can’t speak highly enough of what this club has achieved, especially in the past few years. They may be one of the smallest clubs in Australian football, but this success shows they are one of the mightiest, not just on the field but off it, too.
The way they’ve captured the identity and belief of their community, build a team on solid foundations of local youth and unsung heroes, given opportunities to smart young coaches who love smooth, attacking football.
Everything they’ve done is a blueprint for other A-League clubs to follow. I’m so so happy for them.
