Players Bio: Mario has been back to his best in 2010, fighting off the advances of rival keepers throughout pre season before re-establishing himself as one of the best shot stoppers in the local game.

He was rewarded with a spot in the Brisbane Premier League Under 25 side that played Brisbane Roar recently, and is hoping to add a third league title medallion this season.

Mario also provides a little extra with his on field self talk, a real treat for our defenders. He's often heard popping out a few “great save Muz” or “Oooh Muz you struck that one well”.

All jokes aside Mario has been fantastic for Rochedale, and was spotted in a 2009 game against Capalaba coming out and taking a cross for the first time in his career, well in Muz.
