Kye Rowles- 6

Made some important tackles but gave the ball away countless times with inaccurate passes. Was caught ball-watching as Vargas peeled off behind and scored the winner.

Jack Clisby- 5

A persistently ineffective player, lost 6 out of his 8 defensive duels. Mariners would do well to sign another half-back in January.

Andrew Hoole- 6

Suffered as a result of the Mariners' ineptitude in attack. Will be disappointed by his impact against his former-side.

Michael McGlinchey- 6

Anonymous all game. Failed to inspire the Mariners into any attacking rhythm. Would be looking over at the Nix’s fortunes with envy.

Aiden O’Neill- 6

Fairly ineffective all game. Came off late with a bad-looking shoulder injury, leaving CCM to see out the game with 10-men.

Mario Shabow- 7

Very positive on the ball but really doesn’t have much to aim for with Matt Simon the target man. Took three shots, one of which was on target. Not great numbers but still far better than his teammates.

Matt Simon- 6

Fantastic pass-and-move with Matt Millar for opening goal but did not have a major impact on the match apart from his goal. CCM midfielders unable to provide anything of quality for the lumbering forward.

Connor Pain- 6

Had a huge chance to seal the game in the second half and unleashed a tame effort at Glen Moss, a huge moment in the match. Only passed the ball 16 times, the lowest of all CCM players.

Subs

Jordan Murray- 7

Replaced Mario Shabow in the aftermath of Hoffman’s equalizer. Showed good pace against a tiring Daniel Georgievski.

Brad McDonald- 6

Replaced Connor Pain in the 73rdminute.
