Ten Years of the A-League

[Jeterpool]

So, Foxsports have come out today with their best XI from the first 10 years of the HAL. It is certainly a contentious topic and it will be hard to get agreement.

Who do you think is the best A-League XI? Who would be your best Jets IX? Even your work Jets IX?

[pv4]

------------Galekovic-------------
Franjic--Milicevic--Spira--Traore
---------McKay--Milligan---------
Griff---------Ono----------Broich
------------Berisha---------------

My honourable mentions list is massive - the three I'm most disappointed about not fitting in are Musialik, Archie and Paartalu.

[Jeterpool]

------------Galekovic------------

Franjic--Og-----Smith-------Traore

----McKay-----Paartalu------------

Thompson-------Hernandez--------Broich

--------------Smeltz-----------------

Honourable mention to Griff, Milligan, Theo, Flores, Berisha,

[Jeterpool]

Jets, for me

--------------Covic----------------

Elrich----Dura------Ljubo-----Thompson

------Musialik------Wehrman--------

Song---------Carle----------Ryu

------------Griff---------------

Bench
A Griff, Okon, Taggz, Zads and Birraz

Wanted to put the beard in but couldn't, even though I think we will look back on him as being the best player to ever play for this club.

I would much prefer to play with 11 players than 9... they must be assuming Muscat and Burns would make it and get sent off!

Haha sorry for being that guy, but if it wasnt me, someone else would have bought it up!:whistling:

--------------Smeltz-----------------

Honourable mention to Griff, Milligan, Theo, Flores, Berisha,

Did you think that Og was really that good in the HAL though? I loved the partnership that Moore had with him, and loved Moore to death, but I didn't see THAT much in Og that I've seen in other CBs at HAL level tbh. After he moved to Asia and featured for the Socceroos - different story. But I didn't rate him that highly from his time actually in the HAL.

I would personally put Ljubo and Spira (obv) plus Thwaite, BVDB, Zwaans, Sains, Moore, Muscat, North ahead of Og.

[leftrightout]

My Jets

--------------Covic----------------

Eags----Okon------Ljubo-----Thompson

------Holland------Wehrman--------

Song---------Carle----------Milton

------------Griff---------------

Bench
A Griff, Dura, Bridge, Sasho and Young

A bit of a controversial bench but you cant deny Adam, Bridge and Sasho were so great for us!

Theres a few great players there that didnt do heaps for us in the short time they were here e.g Milligan, Brown so i based it purely on performances for us.

Og was brilliant towards the end of his Adelaide stint, just before he left.
But there are plenty of great CB's in your list there!

I suppose its how people interpret it. Do you select a team on the way the player performed in the a-league or do you go off what they have done since or before?

Also surprised no one has mentioned Kruse yet. His final year when at melbourne he was near unstoppable! He would definitely be in my team for whole league. I think he dominated more than any other aleague player has, in his time.

North, Thwaite and Moore are a very good call. I wouldn't put Muscat in because I can't stand him (ha ha!). I want to put Spira in, but for me it's only been a year for him in the league. Give it another 12 months at the level he was last year and I reckon that would change. Maybe Og's overseas exploits are clouding my judgement - and it was a long time ago but I'm going to stick.

You forgot Pinto!

[Blackmac79]

11x Griff.

[BodyNovo]

Parisi, griff, ljubo and 8 other blokes

[MFKS]

Theo >> Eugene

Miracle of Brisbane and 5 Winners medals say he is better.


Eugene's greatest claim to fame is his mum works at Crazy Horse

[MFKS]

11x Griff.
We have a winner

[pv4]

You forgot Pinto!

Why would I put Pinto in my best ever Jerks XI?

[Jeterpool]

Eugene's greatest claim to fame is his mum works at Crazy Horse

I thought his greatest claim to fame is that he is Heskey's bitch

[The Dunster]

Ned Zelic should be listed based on his "Individual Brilliance" [patent pending]

Virgili/Hearfield---Patafta-------Mooy

[plague]

The best 11 will be ADP and whoever currently has a commentating gig.

Whoever doesn't put Elrich in their all time best Jets team is ****ing retarded and I don't like you.

In fact just put the '08 GF team in there. Why reward any other shitcunce for coming last every ****ings year.

Agree with Mr Fish though, Venables was the best gaffa we ever had.

Jets IX = Jets 9
Are Zads and Griff the two sent off?

[GazFish35]

Well said.
If he's in the 11 he can't be on the bench.
And if he's not on the bench you can sub him on in order to sub him off.

Elrich might be "totally newy" but the only other player mentioned for that spot is eags... So your argument is bull and void!

By the way, how f*cking good was eags!

[GazFish35]

Eags was grouse!

[plague]

So your argument is bull and void!

By the way, how f*cking good was eags!

For the record my argument is never 'bull and void' (nor is it ever 'null and void' but whatever).
I think you'll find my arguments are snarky, factually correct (from a certain point of view) and generally hilarious.

[Mark325]

Can someone explain both who Mateo Corbo is and why he is on the worst list for foreigners?

His wikipedia has nothing on it and I feel like if he was bad enough to be listed on the worst foreigner list I would have heard more about him, unless he was only picked because he was one of like two or three foreign LB's

Corbo played for us year 1. He wasn't bad at all. Did have the odd hot headed moment however and got a few reds but not the worst left back this league has seen by far

[GazFish35]

Corbo was picked because they, like most (especially the referees), misunderstood him.

[Jetmaster]

Corbo had an onfield stoush with Middleby in the early rounds - an MFKS ledge.

Wasn't he Uruguyan? Probably explains the white line fever mentality he had when he was on the pitch.
Actually I reckon the best and most effctive LB we had was surprisingly thrown in as a makeshift....Thommo in seasons 2 and 3. Loved getting forward and contributing in attack and providing assists and the odd goal but also had enough mongrel in him to carry out his defensive duties adequately.

FFS Plague you just can't tell us your jokes are funny and give yourself a rap while doing it as it makes you look full of it.


Ohh **** it Carry on :sparring:

[stopper2]

Vigs was quality from the outset and was getting better with each game and then he done his ACL!!
Song tore it up when he first came to the club and was prominent in those last few games towards the end of our GF winning season in '08.
Next 2 seasons thought he was inconsistent but I recall he had some ankle problems. Was great technically but lacked that killer punch or directness of say a Hernandez or Broich or Cirrio. Still one of the better imports to come to the Jets.

You may be right but one can't really praise oneself.


It is the place for others to stow the accolades on you not you stow the accolades on yourself

I didn't put him in mine because I felt he was too good to be.

They may have been put off by him coaching on the coast, and gifting CCM training jerseys to his players to wear at training.

Quacks like a duck m8

Interesting little stat just popped up on the world game website, since leaving the Jerks, Mario Jardel has played for 6 more clubs, the latest was a Saudi top flight club where he bagged 18 goals in 17 games. They must defend with traffic cones.

Did they clarify if they were oggies?

[Jetmaster]

Maybe he got himself fit...

[leftrightout]

Foxsports top ten goals of the ten years... no mention of nicky carle! What a joke!
Even more a joke when you look at a couple that got in. I can think of quite a few goals that were better than some in there. Carlos Hernandez only had one in there, he has hit maybe 3 that were better than some of the goals chosen!
