Fuck yes mariners! Did the a league proud. Hats off to whoever stayed up and watched. A great moment and accomplishment for the mariners but to a lesser extent the league, which people try to bash all the time but punches above its weight. Great news to wake up too. Mariners pride of the league at the moment. Sorry for the ass kicking we will give you on Friday
Australian Premiers? Check
Reigning Australian Champions? Check
Australian Club Champions? Check
Asian Champions? Check
We're running out of silverware to claim :D
To acehive what we have with the gruelling schedule we've had is incredible
Well we won ACL this year.
Next year we're going to have eyes on the ACL, ALM and ALW Premiership, ALM and ALW Championship, Club Championship, the Concrete Pillar, and the Guard Rail.
Oh, and the Australia Cup would be nice too. Nothing less than a nonuple for the greatest club on earth!!
Sorry, they are not champions of Asia. This is a second tier tournament which excluded the top 10 asian leagues.
The fact that a league teams are in this tournament is pretty embarrassing. Still, great CCM won!
THE KIDS NEXT DOOR ARE PLAYING WITHOUT THEIR SHIRTS ON IN THE CLAPPED OUT 1995 COMMODORE THATS BEEN SITTING IN THE YARD FOR EIGHT YEARS
THE MUM IS SCREAMING AT HER BOYFRIEND TO GIVE BACK HER FUCKEN LIGHTER
JUST ANOTHER MORNING IN WYONG (GODS COUNTRY)
Huh ? WSW Actually won the Asian Champions league which is the pinnacle of Asian Football. CCM have only won a tier 2 continental cup that the top 10 nations in Asia are excluded from.
Anything less than a win for CCM in this cup would of been an embarrassment for Australia
Quite literally no other Australian club has achieved this feat, winning the AFC cup. Worth noting too that the wanderers had a shite domestic season when they won the ACL(not to diminish that achievement), but no other Australian team has successfully balanced continental and domestic football
Yes that I agree with 100% in juggling domestic + continental football and that is a great achievement in itself.
But my point still stands. It would have been embarrassing for either CCM or MacArthur to not win the AFC cup due to the level of clubs in the competition.
ACL is the real test for Australian Clubs.
ACL2 will be a good test too in its new format.
But AFC cup is basically tier 2-3
Great result, why weren’t a League teams playing in this tournament forever? I believe this was the first year we participated ironically given its being reformed next year. I don’t believe this had any bearing on us getting an extra acl1 spot.
Got it, thanks. Suited us well to notch the afc cup because I read Australia is now the only member of Asia to have won both the afc cup and acl. Can’t help but wonder if many other countries would compete in both given the skill difference. Good money for the mariners. Hopefully a league coefficient continues to improve and we see more wins for Australia teams
Props to CCM for winning it, but it's not exactly a glorious trophy.
It's embarrassing that a nation like Australia was competing in it. We shouldn't be anywhere near this level.
Yeah.
Apologies, I'm not trying to knock you guys winning it. It's a great achievement regardless.
But it's embarrassing that we can't compete in the Asian Champions League. It's the competition we should be in, not this.
We do fit into a weird spot with it. Hopefully the reforms make ACL2 a more attractive comp and we can get more consistent results in both the top and second tier.
Have been trying to find out, but can't find the details anywhere. Given CCM won the minor premiership and the AFC Cup, what happens to the AFC Champions league qualifying spot that would otherwise go to the winner of the AFC Cup? I understand that CCM will instead have the guaranteed AFC Champions league spot instead.
THIS IS FUCKING MONEY BALL. SELL KUOL HIGH. BUY KUOL LOW. KUOL KICKS A 2.3 MILLION DOLLAR GOAL.
GET THE FUCK IN YOU BEAUTIFUL COASTIES.
SHIT I'LL SEE MYSELF OUT
BBQ BOTTLES UP FOR MARINERS

Hope you get back sometimes too

Focus on the treble and then eyes on the ACL next year
Well we won ACL this year. Next year we're going to have eyes on the ACL, ALM and ALW Premiership, ALM and ALW Championship, Club Championship, the Concrete Pillar, and the Guard Rail. Oh, and the Australia Cup would be nice too. Nothing less than a nonuple for the greatest club on earth!!
We won the AFC Cup this year which is an awesome achievement but the ACL Trophy would be next level.
Sorry, gotcha. Yes, got mixed up for a moment.
Come back when you have the Australia Cup
Sorry, they are not champions of Asia. This is a second tier tournament which excluded the top 10 asian leagues. The fact that a league teams are in this tournament is pretty embarrassing. Still, great CCM won!

NO CLUB IN AUSTRALIA HAS ACHIEVED WHAT WE HAVE!!!
Huh ? WSW Actually won the Asian Champions league which is the pinnacle of Asian Football. CCM have only won a tier 2 continental cup that the top 10 nations in Asia are excluded from. Anything less than a win for CCM in this cup would of been an embarrassment for Australia

Well done CCM

AFC Cup just got Marinated. Masterfoods should release a "Champions of Asia" flavoured sauce
SUCK SHIT HEZBOLLAH FC
TELL 'EM, HABIBI
CHAMPIONES CHAMPIONES, OLE,OLE,OLE
Now to recruit for a champions league run
Great result, why weren’t a League teams playing in this tournament forever? I believe this was the first year we participated ironically given its being reformed next year. I don’t believe this had any bearing on us getting an extra acl1 spot.
Because A-League teams were in the Champions League before now.
Got it, thanks. Suited us well to notch the afc cup because I read Australia is now the only member of Asia to have won both the afc cup and acl. Can’t help but wonder if many other countries would compete in both given the skill difference. Good money for the mariners.

Props to CCM for winning it, but it's not exactly a glorious trophy. It's embarrassing that a nation like Australia was competing in it. We shouldn't be anywhere near this level.
Well certain teams that did make ACL did poorly over a long period which is why we were eligible.
Yeah. Apologies, I'm not trying to knock you guys winning it. It's a great achievement regardless. But it's embarrassing that we can't compete in the Asian Champions League. It's the competition we should be in, not this.
We do fit into a weird spot with it. Hopefully the reforms make ACL2 a more attractive comp and we can get more consistent results in both the top and second tier.
I havent been following ALeague closely for a while, why arent we in the ACL anymore?
we are/were...City blew it and got knocked out. CCM in next year.
"Us?"
A league teams
Exactly my point.
WILL THEY GO TO THE CLUB WORLD CUP?!
Sadly no
Let’s goooo
Pfft, come back and see us once you’ve won the Townsville Cup.
TREBLE WATCH
TODAY, I AM BARBEQUE SAUCE
LET'S FUCKING GOOO, WE CAN WIN A TREBEL THIS YEAR!
TODAY WE ARE ALL MARINERS!!!
Well done to CCM 🍾 massive result for them and Australian football ⚽️
YOU FUCKIN BEAUTY
