Superb finish from Graham Dorrans. He’s just gone a long way to answering the question: “has Graham Dorrans arrived in Australia yet?!” #MACvWSW #aleague

Oh Graham Dorrans that is superb!
He creates his own luck there and Federici left with egg on his face but what a finish.
There’s your spark. #MACvWSW #Aleague

OH MY WORD! It's 1-1 as Federici is caught a kilometre off his line and Dorrans gleefully sends him to the chip shop. A rare blemish from the custodian and a fantastic finish from the Wanderers midfielder #MACvWSW

Good morning! Alou Kuol is going to win the Ballon d’Or. That is all. ☺️

Ice Kuol, Daddy Kuol, Harry Kuol. Call him what you want but this kid is the real deal. @AlouKuol . A pleasure to watch.
— Ray Gatt (@Gatty54) February 7, 2021
Alou Kuol is the perfect example of what this club is doing with its academy and youth teams. Monty, Ken and the rest of the staff all doing a hell of a job to get these players ready for the step up to A-League.
Our NPL team has been great the last 2 seasons, now it's showing.
— Josh Howe (@JoshO567) February 7, 2021
Another stunning show from Alou Kuol, a match-winning brace of headers to get the #Mariners home 3-2 over #WesternUtd. He lights up his games with his energy and verve, a real exciting prospect, hopefully for Australia. For now let's sit back and enjoy. #CCMvWUN
