2018/19 Squad

[Frodo]

Jets Players off Contract at Season's End:

Nikolai Topor-Stanley
Nick Cowburn
Lachlan Jackson
Daniel Georgievski
Ronald Vargas
Glen Moss
Roy O'Donovan
Jair Eduardo
Kosta Petratos
Mitch Austin
Lewis Italiano
Jake Adelson
Patrick Langlois

Topor can have 1 more contract before he moves into the back room.
Cowburn will resign. Good enough to fill a few spots on little cash.
Jackson isn't good enough to start anywhere. Hopefully we can find a replacement and he can go to West Melbourne.
George is good enough to start for us but I think we are over paying him now.
Vargas. I like him and I don't think we have the ability to find anyone better. If we lose him I won't care.
Moss. Has got to be close to retiring. But we don't want to pay Birraz twice as much to be 5% better than Moss so keep him.
Roy. Can score, no one else can. Must be priority.
Jair. Meh, would be better in his 2nd year but i'm totally fine to lose him.
Kosta. No idea who he is, lol. Only got him to keep Dimi happy, will never play in the HAL regularly.
Austin. Will enjoy the trams in West Melbourne next year. Surely he won't be resigned, can't even get into our team when we have 3 attackers injured/suspended. Not even close to good enough.
Italiano. Resign, solid back up who could improve into a starter.
Adelson. Don't care. Is just there to fill a spot.
Langlois. If he's happy to train with a HAL team and not play for awhile, resign him.


We really need to work out how to get out of Boogs contract and then sack whoever thought that was a good idea.

We need to sign a CB and 2 wingers (at least 1 starter)

NBN Jackson extension

despite the two saves, still don't rate him and thought he put NTS under far too much pressure at the back and rarely looks to pass forward, average at best, only asset is his height, think we could look elsewhere

Didn't see this. We are just the worst club aren't we.

Plays rubbish for 6 months and makes 2 defensive plays in 1 game and we resign him immediately. We have some of the worst CBs in the country. Topor is passed his peak and is 10 times better than our other options. That's how bad we are in the centre.

Can someone please name other CBs in HAL worse than Boogs and Jackson just to make me feel better?

Until we sign a centreback who is as vocal as Boogs and organises the defence as good as well cant afford to lose Boogs. Topor sadly doesnt have this in his game or doesnt show it enough

Boogs is only loud because he is so far behind the play that no one can hear him if he doesn't yell. He's not saying anything useful other than "Topor have you got the guy I was meant to be marking?" and "Sorry, I thought I was quicker/better than that, lol."

He is so bad this year that even the Mariners wouldn't want him.

[plague]

Bit harsh on Boogs there you blokes.

Merrick made the same points as me which were 100% obvious against the Gypos

Why? I'm not saying he's a bad person. I bet he is an absolute legend of a bloke. I also love what he has done for our club.

But he is a liability in defence. If we want to be a top 4 team or go into the ACL and do well we need to be able to defend. You could maybe convince me that Boogs could be a back up. But I'd have to be in a good mood and with results this morning and signing news I am not.

Vedran did manage to cheer me up tho.

Sign someone with Boogs on field organisation skills and he if free to go IMO. He has this you cant argue against it. Its proven every time he's injured

2 things.

1) you seem to agree with me that we should replace him, but you want us to find someone who can organise the defence. That's fine, I don't want us to sign anyone worse.

2) Us looking bad when he is injured just means we don't have cover. It doesn't mean he is a great CB these days.

Hard to argue. But I want him to stay unless we can find someone better which I think is impossible unless we go a visa spot

Can't tell if you're trolling or if you're just all in for my Vedran transfer and eventual spoonathon with no queues, jet shaped hats and hilarity??

[Couscous]

Will enjoy the trams in West Melbourne next year

There are no trams in West Melbourne.

Don't tell him that.

Nah they got the fancy ones that dont need overhead lines or tracks.
Things are the future man.

Lachy J signs on again.

We're showing our intent continuing to sign under whelming squaddies on extended contracts.

No finals for us for a couple more seasons with this continuing.

[Tommyjet]

I don't know how true but I have heard there will be bugger all turnover next offseason
