Great article on the Mariners rise to the top

‘Perfect model’ that’s created ‘clearly the best story in Australian football’
Central Coast Mariners are the Isuzu UTE A-League Premiers for the first time in 12 years. It's one of the best stories in Aussie sport.

Some interesting initiatives from the MLS. Wouldn't mind trying these out here to help stop the time wasting
Common sense initiatives. Surprised it's taken this long to start something like this. Gotta keep the game moving, we don't pay to watch time wasting.

and channel 10 end up showing an ad instead of the presentation and when they did show it didn’t even show the speech
so much for bringing fans closer

Agree in principle with most of that stuff but 15 seconds seems a bit harsh for a player to have to get back up again or be withdrawn for 2 minutes!!
Stop the pointless physio trips where guys are absolutely ok. Stop the piss weak rolling around
I'm all for it, great initiative and not a single downside imo. Get tackled, get up and stop being a sook!

I am but a hard tackle where you're winded from being flattened takes some time to get up from even if you're fine.
I would say 45 secs would be more realistic. If a player cops it in the nuts they shouldn't be forced off for 2mins because it took longer than 15 secs to get their breath back!
I'd say legitimate hard tackles that take > 15 seconds to recover from are < 5% of the times players roll around on the floor tbh.
Will be a huge improvement on the game if implemented world wide and should be ASAP
