reading this morning that because biraz has been picked in the all-stars game he will miss the FFA cup game

which game is the glorified friendly? The new cup competition game or the a-league all-nobodies + del piero v juventus

what a disgrace

What's to say BK wouldn't have got the nod anyhow?

I take your point though, if Taggart was still around we would be crying bloody murder

[borat]

The big question is will Perth turn up and refuse not to play.

[Jeterpool]

Perth are only missing Hersi, I believe. Why would they refuse to play?

The whole thing stinks. FFA charging $250,000 if individual teams arrange friendlies, and taking players away from clubs playing in competitive matches for this meaningless friendly.

What is the big picture behind this? Noone supports the "A-League Allstars". It is pure entertainment fluff. That's fine in its own place, but if clubs are penalised for trying to use a bit of enterprise, or to establish links with other football clubs around the world. The A-League as a whole will be the loser and it undermines the real culture of football.

Personally, I would love it if the Jets established a link between one Japanese team, one Chinese team, one Korean team and one MLS team and rotated a friendly game between the four every four years. The purpose behind it would be to open up and develop real and lasting relationships with four specific clubs in our part of the world that aren't dependent on us getting into the Asian Champions League.

It just seems to me that prostituting ourselves to a big European club is both out of our league and of no real long term benefit.

But if the FFA would demand $250,000 for such a scenario each year, just so their A-League Allstars are not outshone, it paints the FFA in a very bad light. Friendlies need not just be about financial returns.

[GazFish35]

the 250K was not to make sure the allstars werent out shown, but to ensure ony big clubs come out. stipulating the huge fee means that only clubs with huge drawing potential would even be considered.

its ridiculous that clubs struggling financially arent able to go aftera atracting a club they can afford, and take a calculated risk, FFA fee essentially means they have to take a bigger gamble, lay out bigger capital to get a bigger club here..... or have a pronmotre do it.... thne the profit goes to them not the club.

Id love to see the jets host 3 teams Asia in a four team tournament, far cheaper an exercsie than chasing an EPL team.



but forcing clubs to release players when they have FFA cup matches is absurd if they want the FFA cup to be taken seriously.

speaking of helping out young Alex, id like to donate #shootforgriff, Baz set it up

[MFKS]

speaking of helping out young Alex, id like to donate #shootforgriff, Baz set it up

Pretty unimpressed with our club helping this young bloke out in his hour of need.

Considering the bloke has actually struck it quite lucky (Not being smart) and was injured during work and will have his medical bills workos compo and couple of year contract to fall back on to help him out having us throw a few dollars more his way is really smart.

Lets not forget the bloke will probably be looked after by the Knights/NRL for employment for the rest of his life and then lets not forget whatever money the NRL raised the other month and am pretty certain the bloke isn't eating Whiskas on bread for the rest of his life.

Many others in the community suffer similar injuries and don't have the luxury and support this bloke has had and who have far worse prospects than Alex does and are most likely in need of the assistance at a more pressing rate it is rather offensive to me that we are having a whip around to benefit him.


Not trying to make light of his predicament but it is not right when there are so many more people worse off and in more need for it





What next a whip around next time James Packer falls off his polo horse to cover his medical bills???

[q-money]

ffs you're a negative c*nt sometimes herr KFC

[Wilso8948]

Have to say.. That's one of your more shit posts. Stick to what you're good at.. negative football banter. I agree that many others need help but don't speak low of a bloke that may well never walk/run/kick or jump for the rest of his life. That's a feeling I'm sure that no amount of $$ can put a price on.

[q-money]

further, the whole reason they're kicking the tin is thus....

"most players are uninsured for severe injuries as negotiations between the NRL, players' union and clubs have failed to agree on a policy acceptable to all parties. A new proposal was sent to players on Friday and they have been asked to vote on it soon. Fairfax Media understands the cost of insurance would be split evenly between the player, his club and the NRL.

However, there are concerns that it only covers 75 per cent of a player's contract, and is capped at $500,000. It is also understood the policy does not provide cover for any existing injury, mental health or illness.

[Thomas477]

Why didn't we do the same thing for Neil Young though? The knoughts completely ignored that incident.

[q-money]

why does it have to be tit for tat? suck it up and get over yourselves, a young bloke is possibly paralysed and you can help him simply by buying a ticket to a football match, and you're having a cry over what the knights didn't do three years ago, get a f*cking grip.

100%

the NRL & The knights/HSG should be praised for what they did for alex, they have set a standard now for what sporting entities should do for individuals when this freak of an accident happens.

Where was he having a go at the guy who got injured? It reads to me that the member was merely questioning the media attention and resultant fund raising that has gone on for a guy who is probably getting the best available medical/rehab attention, will likely continue to do so, and has a 'job for life' from the NRL. Compare this to the average punter off the street who suffers a similar injury - once their workers comp insurance runs out, assuming the injury happened at work, they'll go back to bare basics in terms of rehab/medical unless they've got the cash to fund it for themselves, plus they'd have a remote chance of getting a job of any type post injury.

[Jeterpool]

I bet he'd trade it all for the ability to walk again.

:facepalm:

[Pico]

So is it a dick measuring contest for who the shitest fans/organisation is? Can there be a proud winner of that sort of competition.

Just a side note too, workers comp does not cover professional athletes, except for jockey’s who been considered a special case due to the severity of the types of injuries they suffer.


The Australian Athletes' Alliance, which includes the players' associations of most major sports, is also pushing for professional athletes to be covered by workers' compensation laws – as jockeys are.

Having said that I do find it a bit rich for the NRL to be shouting from the roof tops how they are helping Alex when if they had shown greater leadership and invested a portion of that $1b TV rights they could have had a policy up and running now similar to the international rugby policy.

[Blackmac79]

Bloke is in for a life time of shit.

I do hope however that the rise for Alex foundation or whatever it is called helps others who have similar injuries.

I know a lass who did her neck in a quad bike accident. Expensive injury that almost destroyed her family were it not for the genourosity of the community around her.



- did get shafted for posting a similar post to the members a few months ago on a different topic, I can see what the member is saying but still every little bit helps.

Precisely Right.

Glad there are people out there who can actually read what is written and not go jumping off half cocked over something that was never said

Would rather we were kicking a tin around for some poor battlers from Woodberry who are struggling to make ends meet at the best of times and need to fly their sick child to the US for life saving bone marrow transplant treatment or something like that. There are plenty of them out there and we do **** all for them

Alex has been well looked after by the Rugby League community as well as being looked after by the fact he was injured whilst at work and not in his own time like the fate many others are unfortunate to suffer.

We would be better off helping these people rather than someone who doesn't need it as much.


We were talking about values we want in our club yet we do absolutely **** all for the needy in our society yet we have people here defending the middle class welfare our club are kicking into a cause that has already been well supported to the tune of $$$1.1million with the Rise For Alex Round the other week and doesn't need our assistance.

Go Figure??

[q-money]

maybe we should have a whiparound every week and you can be the CEO of the MFKS foundation, helping out the downtrodden battlers of newy

[furns]

can we get back to the football please ffs
do we really need to be debating the merits of fundraising for someone who will never walk again?

[Couscous]

Completely agree with MFKS.

The growth of charity has coincided with the government's gradual withdrawal from the welfare sector. I'd prefer a public safety net that treats everyone who is harmed according to their need.

Why should the quality of your care depend on your fame, on whether celebrities campaign to raise funds for you, or on whether you employ good torts lawyers?

[hawk]

fairdinkum i was only trying to help Griff And Al

but since there's terrible public outrage, why is there not a whip round for MH17? i would think death is serious enough.

[plague]

Ok, a few of you on here making massive assumptions about the poor blokes finances need to shut up because you're embarrassing yourselves.
Fact is the max payout he was entitled to under the existing insurance policy is $70,000.
That's it.
The bloke may never walk again.
$70,000.
That is a fact.

Think, it's free.

Re: the $500k.
It's been widely reported but it's not the real number.
Trust me.

Don't get me wrong, the insurance company 'could' pay that amount but according to them the most they are the hook for is the $70k.

PR nightmare for them if they take the cheaper option.

[Jeterpool]

So Why is Hersi ruled out of the game? Zads and Griffiths have knee injuries I see.

[MFKS]

Whatever issues the NRL have with their insurance contract for their players is down to their incompetence no one else.

The bloke is still going to be reasonably well off financially after the incident.

It ain't like many others in the community who's family life is destroyed short term medium term and long term when someone loses their income making ability due to an injury sustained.



May I also point out as the bloke was also the victim of a tackle that is illegal the option of civil suit is there.



Point stills stands WHY IS OUR CLUB DOING VERY LITTLE TO HELP THE LITTLE GUY IN THE COMMUNITY WHO HAS BEEN ****ED OVER BY CIRCUMSTANCE OUTSIDE THEIR CONTROL ???

Yet we can help someone who's circumstances are a bit more fortunate???

[Jeterpool]

Can we move this to the Rugby League thread if we want to keep debating the issue?

On another note those actually planning on going to the game Parking is a bit of an issue around Magic Park last night.

Basketball Stadium and Tennis were in full swing

Add in the crowd for the Magic Strikers game made the area a bit packed.

Being the Jets will probably get more than 1.5k for their game may need to factor this in for your arrival transport plans etc

You criticise if they did nothing. You criticise when they do it all.

Where is the dig at the club for supporting a rugby league player???

I was quite deliberate not to make any point of rugby league V Football as codes and what I personally think of it.



Secondly where did I claim to be a beacon of morality fighting the good fight for the people of Newy?? Other than Plagues sarcasm about Foundations for this and that there has been no mention of me big noting myself about my contributions in this area

I am of the opinion our club should be a beacon of morality fighting the good fight for the people of Newy. Instead of throwing their support to the cases that are already being supported to throw their support to the ones who are not being supported and who desperately need it.

Beside the Positive PR they would get it is actually the right thing to do.

As for the bit about supporting the community bit being tacked on at the end.May need to re read my posts as I have continued to emphasise that point in subsequent posts.

[Jeterpool]

So how do people think we will line up Tuesday? I'm particularly interested in hearing from those that have attended the games in Weston. We've played a 3-5-2 and a 4-4-2 diamond, haven't we?

this thread was a hell of a lot more interesting than the title suggests

agree with the member - there are so many needier recipients of charity who are handicapped (figuratively) by their low profile

This whole biz hasn't just been about Alex though. It has highlighted the NRL's lack of cover for all of thier players (which is the players own fault not doing it in thier last CBA).
During the last few weeks money has been raised for 2 former players who both suffered career ending injuries yet were hung out to dry (they are only going to get the same $70k payout). Also there was a young bloke from Foster who broke his neck and money and attention has been given to him which otherwise might not of happened without the rise for Alex thing going on.
Thurston, Smith etc wearing the wristbands is in part helping thier mate but it's also about them realising they are screwed if something similar happened to them. They want pressure put on the players a association and NRL to fix it.

How would you change that once Flores is fit and Montana turns up? I'm assuming Flores will slot straight in causing a slight reshuffle, Montana is still a relative unknown for us.

[Blackmac79]

Tenzo opens at 12. Everyone on here is required to come and support it by buying at least 1 cold drink. More if you think that putting money in magics coffers is bad for northern NSW Football (not the association but the actual state of the game)*






* May not actually represent my view, however if it gets more of you along to support the tenzo then so be it!

Honestly mate, I don't know. I haven't watched the boys this year and they've played two different formations. I guess once they settle on a formation it might be easier to understand (however we might be surprised and have the ability to switch and change formations this year!)

I'll have a go:

-------BK---------------
-----------JS-----------
JN-----MF----------DC

-------JG-------------

Without seeing Montano I don't know either. This conundrum I discussed in the Joel Griffiths thread. If he's out of this world, where would he fit? Because if he sits on the bench I can see the inevitable questions about why waste a Visa spot on a bench player.

[parksey]

Pretty unimpressed with our club helping this young bloke out in his hour of need.

Considering the bloke has actually struck it quite lucky (Not being smart) and was injured during work and will have his medical bills workos compo and couple of year contract to fall back on to help him out having us throw a few dollars more his way is really smart.

poured rain all game and 11k rocked up on memory as well.

[GazFish35]

anyone know how tickets are going?

i just bought one for my old man GA213

[MFKS]

anyone know how tickets are going?

i just bought one for my old man GA213

Rather odd as I bought one a week ago and my GA number was in the 300's

[furns]

yep, now we are with ticketmaster, those numbers are meaningless. Many formulas have been attempted to try to explain the meanings of the PAX numbers, all of them useless.

[Blackmac79]

Anyone wanting to help out with tifo for tomorrow. I will be at the tenzo from 12.

Also anybody wishing to sign up as a member of the Squadron prior to the AGM will also be able to, I will have my shit together for once....

[The Dunster]

What size crowd should we expect for this game ? I'm going to guess it will be the usual pre-season type affair and guess 1800 or so.

[furns]

with it being a meaningful game against A-League opposition, i would be expecting bare minimum 2k. Anything over 3k would be great.

[sammydog]

I've still got to get my ticket, but I am going. Id hazard a guess there are a heap of lazy people like me that just haven't purchased yet and will leave it till the last minute.

[furns]

I would hate to think what the price for walkup tickets will be....

[sammydog]

$17 if I read correctly, but I was indenting to buy and print it off myself to save enough for part of a beer.

[MFKS]

What size crowd should we expect for this game ? I'm going to guess it will be the usual pre-season type affair and guess 1800 or so.

Considering it was 1500 last week Magic V Olympic you would expect a much larger turn out considering the size of the Jets support add in the HAL opponent and also the Griff factor.

We don't get 3k then questions need to be asked as to why

[sammydog]

Whats the ground capacity?

[Grimario]

Whats the ground capacity?

http://www.ultimatealeague.com/stadium_detail.php?stadium_id=66

Says 1,000... then says highest attendance 4,000. :gent:

Magic wiki page says 3,500
Soccerway says 1,000
worldfootball.net says 10,000 :lulz:

[sammydog]

I'd heard 4,500 but I'd have thought you could pack more in.

If 3,000 turn up though, it should still be a decent atmosphere.

[plague]

We don't get 3k then questions need to be asked as to why

To be fair though, we could get 10k and you'd still blow up about something.

[MFKS]

To be fair though, we could get 10k and you'd still blow up about something.

Considering how many fans we have, this being the first time in the comp, this being the first time for most to see Jeronimo Steele etc, that we are playing HAL opponent and Magic were able to get 1.5k for a game against a no name Queensland State side I think it ain't asking too much for us to have 3k there tomorrow night

Given it's a school night, clubs training and the middle of winter I'd be happy with 2k but expect 2.5. I hope for broadmeadow's sake they get a good turnout.

Are they selling beer at the ground?

Yeah at first I was thinking a packed ground, now thinking it will be closer to half full. At least the atmosphere will be better then hunter stadium. The cooler weather plus the lack of seating may keep some families & older fans away.

Of cause they will be selling beer.

[Thomas477]

Brisbane Strikers are hardly no names, they were in the NSL at the end.

[newi24-2-08]

Is this game on telly?

[plague]

Got offered the night off training if we all went as a team.
A resounding no was heard throughout the meeting.
Would rather burpies and shuttle runs that pre season Jets.

Yeah strange that Hoole in and Steele not there.....in another note: Is Gallas still contracted to Perth?

[lil_masi]

When neville and flores have been named. You know that squad list is bollsheet.

[NewyTy]

De Silva is out as he's playing for the Young Socceroos in a friendly against the A-League All Stars tomorrow night. So that's another out for Perth.

[Premy]

I thought Rostyn Griffiths was ruled out too.

I hope the numbers are meaningless, I just got tickets 649 and 650.

Numbers are not meaningless.

Numbers are all the club and FFA seem to care about.

I thought Rostyn Griffiths was ruled out too.

Think you're right. Pretty sure I read he was injured, along with Zadkovich.

Wish they would start the season in the next a couple of weeks though and not wait for the egg ball codes to finish

[MFKS]

Don't forget people to plan your trip according to the tennis club and basketball stadium being flat out tonight.

May also want to look at parking a bit further away for a quick get away as the traffic lights next to the Tenzo and Broadmeadow Road are not really set up for large crowds and you could be stuck at the lights forever

[Bremsstrahlung]

[furns]

and I would be very surprised if the LiveScore app (both iphone and android) wasnt carrying the scores

[the blue manc]

i may have missed something,but how come there are no games on fox tonight?

[noremac]

Any idea where this is being televised?

[roundballsarebetter]

Is it being streamed online?? , surely if the magic game is on fox an all aleague game would be

[Jeterpool]

No broadcast. Only showing 1rd32 game. 1 rd16 game. 4 quarter finals both semis and final I think

[Grimario]

From Jerks FB.

Jets starting XI: Kennedy, Gallaway, Jaliens, Madaschi, Gallagher, Kantarovski, Steele, Pepper, Goodwin, Jeronimo, Griffiths.
Perth Glory starting XI: Vukovic, Clisby, Djulbic, Keogh, Marinkovic, Garcia, Ferreira, Sidnei, Nichols, Risdon, Jamieson.

[Grimario]

So... Steele is in, despite not being in the squad list.

Watch Jets get eliminated from the cup on a technicality because he wasn't part of the registered official squad or something.

[Rocky]

So... Steele is in, despite not being in the squad list.

We're playing Perf, don't really need a technicality.

[Grimario]

We're playing Perf, don't really need a technicality.

Ziiiiiiiing.

Probably true though.

Goodwin, Gallaway AND Steele all starting.

Bench is Regan, Baresi, Virgili, Lundy, Solari (GK)

Perf: O'Neill, Harold, Maclaren, Duncan (GK), Woodcock

[joel31]

Looking at the lineup it will be 4-3-3

[pessimist]

Pretty good Perth lineup. Have we lost yet?

[Grimario]

Pretty good Perth lineup. Have we lost yet?

Nope. Goodwin cross, Griff with a volley that was pretty close, apparently.

[joel31]

from someone there how many are approximately

[Grimario]

Ahahah, Griff has just done a strip tease for the crowd.

Commentator thought he had done hammy but he had too many pairs of skins on underneath his shorts, nothing wrong.

[Grimario]

Don't know if it is just the commentary bigging it up but we sound like we are playing beautifully and unlucky to be behind.

[Rocky]

Don't know if it is just the commentary bigging it up but we sound like we are playing beautifully and unlucky to be behind.

Also sounds like we're playing 2 strikers with griff and jeronimo. It does sound good though!

[Grimario]

0-1 HT, Clisby with a rash challenge on Griff resulting in a yellow just before the break.

[MFKS]

Nothing contentious with the goal

It clearly crossed the line

Jets were appealing the initial cross was out It wasn't it was on the line

BK bashing to be in full swing post game

[Grimario]

Tonight’s crowd at Magic Park is 2,877. Thanks to all our Members and fans for you support tonight! #NEWvPER #NTUA

Commentators saying that it looks like 3 times as many as last week, so that number might just be ticketed attendees and not fence jumpers.

Commentators saying Goodwin has bulked up pretty significantly. Might not be so lightweight this season.

[Grimario]

****ing Vuka. Saves Griff shot again.

[joel31]

sounds like vukovic has been saving perth

[joel31]

reegs on for madaschi

[joel31]

Steele off for Lundy

[joel31]

Chris Harold played at the World Cup that's news to me

[joel31]

Must have got him mixed up with Halloran

[weston]

Wasn't Harold linked to sign with the Jets?

No wonder he didn't sign, too good for us making the world cup and all.

[joel31]

The commentary for 1233 is average. Swear it used to be better than this. The lady has no clue

[Grimario]

Stubbins OUT

[joel31]

Stubbins OUT
middleby out

[Retro Jet]

The commentary for 1233 is average. Swear it used to be better than this. The lady has no clue

And a nasty piece of right wing sh!t to boot...

[Grimario]

middleby out

Middleby didn't pick Kew as captain. Stubbins out.


By the sounds of things, it sounds very much like a team that has played some higher intensity friendlies against a team who played a trial match against themselves in shortened halves and a thrashing of a local pub(ish) team.

[joel31]

And a nasty piece of right wing sh!t to boot...
its not sexist its just she doesn't give any great football analysis

[joel31]

full time and we are out

[Grimario]

full time and we are out

Good. Can concentrate on important shit now like making sure we clinch 7th spot.

[weston]

so 2-0 defeat and Carney was on the score sheet.... what were you saying about that sheila??

[Retro Jet]

Wasn't accusing you of sexism....just nailing it to her and her politics.

[joel31]

from interview with steele, they only ever were treating this as pre-season and not cup competition

[joel31]

Wasn't accusing you of sexism....just nailing it to her and her politics.
ok. thanks for the clarification

[plague]

.just nailing it to her and her politics.

Geez mate, it's a flippin Sockah game. What could she possibly have said?

[Blackmac79]

I am on heroin.

[plague]

We don't get 3k then questions need to be asked as to why

Ask away Member.........

[sammydog]

Nothing contentious with the goal

Thanks for clearing that up, from the half way line we had no idea what was being appealed.

[MFKS]

Ask away Member.........
I already have the answer. Incompetence from management

[Beeen]

Commentators saying Goodwin has bulked up pretty significantly. Might not be so lightweight this season.

Still gets bundled off the ball too easily. I eagerly await the return of carney.

[MFKS]

BK 6 Actually dived for a free kick'
Gallaway 3 Useless as usual
Gallagher -1 Worse than Gallaway why did we sign him
Kew 6 has been better
Madaschi 7 looks a good signing
Kanta 2 ****ing atrocious gave the ball away needlessly on multiple occasions. If Gallagher weren't there would be the worst
Pepper 6 Let down severely by his midfield partner doing **** all
Steele 6 Some nice touches at times but ****ed up a few times
Goodwin 5 Got owned by Risden all night. Actually looked better at FB
Griffo 9 Beacon of light in a sea of shite. Just not his night
Geronimo 5 would have been higher if he hadn't of missed that sitter

Taylor Regan 9 ****ing legendary performance by the only **** besides Griff who displays what Newy is about
Lundy 4 Done nothing bar cough up possession
Chiili 4 Ineffectual as usual against HAL opposition

[Jetmaster]

Best lol of night - Griff trying to volley a la Bridgey and giving the big airwswing.

Who was the twit doing the announcing like he was at Harker Oval btw?

[Thomas477]

BK 6 Actually dived for a free kick'


KUTGW Youngy, may make a good keeper out of Kennedy yet.

[Premy]

I missed the whole game couldn't see anything, the light shinning off Garcia's head was blinding.

[Premy]

P.S Vukovic you're still a C#%T.

[BodyNovo]

Kanta, Galloway and Goodwin all need to go.

Griff Madaschi and Steele were positives in absolute shit

Djubic and Nichols were outstanding for glory

[la bazzle]

Kanta is getting worse and worse. Gave the ball away constantly. The only reason I became a member was because Gallagay had been benched first 2 games.... he starts....we lose. Now i need to get rid of my membership. Steele seems to please the newy public by kicking mofos which is nice. The gezza hit that came off the cross bar was nice. Griff was excellent. Goodwin had about 5 chances in a row and ****ed up every cross. Perths 2nd was like a hot knife through butter.

[furns]

Tenzo manager I was just talking to says they have been told 4000 tickets sold and advised they are expecting a 6-7000 crowdjust to confirm - one or both of the people in this conversation must have been high while it was taking place.

[The Dunster]

GVE would be drowning in his own piss from laughing after seeing how his replacement is handling the top job.

[pv4]

I have a fair few negative things about last night, specifically about certain players, but I've decided now that Michael Bridges isn't on our playing roster that I will attempt to not specify poor performances/form from individuals and will only focus on the positives. Let's see how long I last.

I liked the look of Steele - he likes to go forward.

Jeronimo looked to link well with him, shame he didn't bag one, obviously he should have.
Madashi was decent as well. The rest were average at best.
In all I thought it looked like a preseason run that they really didn't care about, which is disappointing when nearly 3000 people turn up to watch you.
I hope Flores gets fit and fires soon, we are going to really need him!

For them Djubic is a beast, the bloke is huge, moves well and plays some good football. He is a brilliant signing. When you consider the players Perth had out, they have a really good squad this year, probably just a bit light up front.

[pv4]

Who was it that left you unimpressed and what was it about what they did WLG??

Can't bait me MFAW.

I'll bring my fedora to the next game Prem :cool:

Perth will have a decent season if Sage can keep the fuss away from the club IMO. They have basically an entire team of proven players (Jamieson being back for them is huge) and I think they'll just click.

[sammydog]

The Kew/Madaschi pairing looks to be strong and I will expect Regan will push them am the way for a starting spot, so the centre of defense is fine.

Wide defence is an issue, especially on our right.

As others have said Steele looks to be a very good pick up. Kanta has a long way to go to return to form, that hurt us aar night.

Griff and Neuman will score goals and seem to play well together, that can only improve.

Biggest thing for me last night was that with the 4-3-3 we were over run in the kids and did nothing to respond. That made it hard for us to play through and there was a lot of long ball.

Per the second goal was good football, but really BK didn't have a huge amount to do last night and we had the better of the chances.

Neuman was unlucky with the long range effort and should have scored two others, and I still don't know how griff shearer was saved.

It's not all doom and gloom as I see it.

We need Jobe back

I am less worried about our right defence as Neville is still to return

I thought Jeronimo was isolated something shocking. Griffo at times was far too wide of him and Goodwin never went anywhere bar sticking to the touchline. Considering how small Geronimo is height wise the amount of balls hoofed in the air were a disgrace.

Our midfield was over run and far too spread out. Considering we all know Galloways talents going forward are minimal playing Griff in front of him and OUT OF POSITION meant we had very little happening on the right flank. ALL GRIFFS GREATNESS WAS DONE MORE CENTRALLY. GRIFFOS greatness is wasted on the right flank

FFS is there some law these days that says you can't play 2 strikers FFS???


Our left flank was also a liability in attack. Gallagher is Galloways with a couple of extra doses of aids and if Goodwin is offering nothing there ain't much happening there.

As for the first goal play to the whistle ****s. The ball was easily in yet they all went to sleep.


The big winner out of last night to me was Marcos Flores. The bloke went up in my eyes 10 times as anything he contributes when he FINALLY gets on the park will make him look like Iniesta with the rabble of shit****s playing for us in the centre of midfield.


We need a signing in Central midfield ASAP. Get the chequebook out Tinks and bring Paartalu in NOW

[MFKS]

We need Jobe back

Doing very little for the Jaffas from what I seen Sunday

we needed anyone that wasn't kanta last night

From what I saw of that game, he cruised it and looked a class above. Admittedly got outrun by Lundy for that goal though.

Did anyone catch the attendance number? I've either skimmed reading it or didn't hear it.

My guess was 3.5-4k, solely by comparison to the Magic/Strikers game.

Over the loudspeaker they said it was something like 2877.. Seemed like more..

2,800ish but I agree it looked more than that

You wouldn't have wanted too many more in there.

[pv4]

Definately seemed more than 1000 extra to the Magic game - the hills were way more packed last night - and the northern hill actually had people in it last night.

Still, 3k or so for a preseason game is pretty good. Let's hope some of those people sign up or renew their memberships.

I liked the banner btw.

[BodyNovo]

just read stubbins comments re-game

"we were beaten by the better team"

never heard branko or GVE say that ever.

go stubs

[Jetmaster]

but I've decided now that Michael Bridges isn't on our playing roster

As I eluded to earlier, Griff tried to emulate the great man by imitating his volley, and fluffed. Not only that, but tried a couple of pointless back heels and a few "impossible" passes. Seems like Bridgey never went away !

:sparring:

Seriously though, Griff looking not bad early on with Jeronimo, two months more work and they can set fire to the league.

Do all the circle jerkers who squealed every time Bridges got subbed on promise to do the same for Griff now?

Or as the ground announcer put it "Official attendance 2,877 dollars"

[scarfy96]

What is so hard about taking a corner? You have the time to place and set the ball as you want, look up, think about it and still you hit it just inside the 6 yard line every single frigging corner. Vuk comes out and catches every one.

Corner takers thought process:

Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing
Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing
Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing
Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing
Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing

Didn't work, I'll try exactly the same thing

What is the definition of stupidity again? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

As for the route one long high balls to Geronimo - hey guys Heskey has left the building. FFS last night was depressing.

Eat a giant bag to any and every one who legit blamed Heskey for those balls :rof:

[sammydog]

I saw the long balls being a function of us being absolutely smashed and over run in the mids. The 4-3-3 wasn't working for us last night and the long ball was the result.

If we can play it along the ground to Griff and Neuman, they will do fine. If we stay predictable with the long ball crap, it will be business as usual.

[leftrightout]

How are we going to pay 4-3-3 with flores? where does he fit into that system?
Surely we will be looking at more 4-4-2 or a varied style of that.

[scarfy96]

4-4-2 with diamond midfield surely with Flores in there.

[Premy]

Or as the ground announcer put it "Official attendance 2,877 dollars"
Was the highlight of the night.

Time to panic? Nah it's too early for that. I will say however, I was a bit disappointed if it has been said that we treated it as simply a trialrun. In my opinion, in reality that was far from the case. We put out our best available XI. Perth took their chances and we didn't and Perth were the better side.

I must say, Perth did look more match ready than us.

Positives -

* The changes in formation in response to the game. I've not really seen us do that before. We looked a lot better whe we changed to 4-4-2 than what we did in 4-3-3.
* Steele, Jeronimo and Madaschi. I think they'll be good buys.
* Neville, Flores and Carney are still to return.
* The jeering Vukovic was getting. Fabulous stuff.
* I can see where Paartalu or Celeski would be a benefit to this team.
* We've got options at the set pieces now.

Negatives
* Delivery into the box. Both from corners and crossing from the wingers. It was atrocious. Vuckovic was taking it far too easily. And we kept doing it too.
* Perth were half a second quicker all night. They also looked physically stronger
* Gallaway - he had a bad game and looked no better.
* We're out of the cup. Perhaps that should have been the first negative.

It's not all doom and gloom, but we have lots of room for improvement. Good night and a good crowd.

pretty much sums my night up.

only problem i had was that the jets took it as a pre-season fancy trial hence Perth urgency being so much greater

[Nou Camp]

not sure why everyone is hating on kanta apart from a few stray passes that everyone had on the night anyways, i thought he was quite solid, playing 4-3-3 an being the lone central midfielder isnt easy especially with the midfield perth had, he broke their attack that came through the middle very well
i would be more worried with others performances, goodwin did he even play i honestly didnt even know he was playing until the 40th minute,
regan (yes ill get hated on for bagging regan) gets a 9 but he and kew ball watched didnt follow one man and allowed a soft tap in for the 2nd goal like they wernt even there
galloway, gallagher and pepper were way out of their depth

[parksey]

i don't think we can read too much into that performance, as uninspiring as it was.

it seemed pretty obvious to me that the club was using it more of a hit-out than a competitive game, which was disappointing but understandable. there was no intensity in the game at all.

we definitely need something else in the front third. i think flores will work wonders, with griff and jeronimo's link up play looking good already.

maybe play a forward triangle much like a 4-2-3-1. with flores as a slightly deeper 10. Or we can play him on the wing

[Tommyjet]

I feel sorry for kanta as he is a player that as soon as he sprays a couple of passes he automatically becomes a whipping boy. Perfect case last night when he played a few very good passes forward after a couple of stray ones, a bloke behind me asked his mate 'who played those balls?' Too which the numbnut replied 'must of been pepper or that big guy at the back because kanta can't hit a barn door if he is standing I front of it'.
I admit he didn't have the greatest of games and sprayed quite a few. Just some fans need to take a closer look.

In saying all that, if we sign celeski I wouldn't mind seeing a midfield of Steele and celeski until paartalu becomes available in January. You could see in patches last night that they are instructed to transition quicker but certain player like gallaway, Gallagher and kanta weren't connecting with some of their passes, celeski and of course having Flores there would help the transition to speed up considerably.

I get the feeling even when paartalu becomes available, we are not going to go for him if we get Celeski

the reason why i was so frustrated with him is when he was spraying his passes it was because he had a much more simpler option nearby and chose to try the harder ball every time.

if plays simple hes a very effective player.

Someone said this during the Weston game, maybe? Either on here on twitter... Steele shouted at him after he tried the killer ball option or something.

[The Special One]

I think I need to talk with Phil Stubbins. If your team loses, blame the referee for killing the game. Don't go saying you were beaten by a better team.

That's what I do.
