The Central Coast Mariners, this season's road to victory seems to be full of thorns. They are eager to kick off their AFL campaign at home, but have failed to score a single goal in their first three matches. Despite having a high percentage of possession in their last two matches, their shooting efficiency has been a huge disappointment. Who is the player who can save the team from danger? The void left by the departure of Jaime Gammings needs to be filled.
The team's strikers, Magodurio and Fiocha Luz, are the mainstays of the team, but they will need to create more threats in the opposing box if they are to help the team get back to winning ways.
Meanwhile, Brisbane Lions suffered a crushing defeat in their last visit to Wellington Phoenix, despite remaining undefeated. The defense was torn apart by their opponents and conceded five goals. Team leader Ailes is counting on his team to make a quick adjustment and regain their form, as they have already collected four points in their opening match and second round of league matches.
Veteran striker Scagnoli has a heavy responsibility to use his vast experience to mend the defense that was torn apart by the opponents in the last round of the tournament.
