KEY FACTS:

General

The Jets have an opportunity to win their 3rd consecutive away game for the first time in their history.
The last trip to Adelaide saw the Jets defeated 7-0.
The Jets haven’t scored in the first half of the last 5 matches.
Adelaide's last victory was against Sydney in the FFA cup, back in late August.
Emile Heskey, with 5 goals, is the only player to have scored more goals at this stage of the season than Milos Trifunovic.



Players

The Jets haven’t scored in the first half of the last 5 matches.
Before last weekend, Nigel Boogaard's dismissal was the last previous red card of an opposition player, which was over 2 years ago on 9/11/13. This equates to 55 games.

Both the Jets and opposition players are averaging a higher amount of yellow cards per match than in any previous seasons - 3.17 (Jets) and 2.33 (Opposition)



Coaches

The 10 points achieved so far this year is the 2nd best start to a season in Jets history.
Scott Miller has not used all 3 available substitutes in the last 3 matches.
Miller's Jets have the best A-League defensive record of any Jets coach.

[Bon]

How many teams previously, have we helped out when they have been in a spot of bother??
If there is ever a match that we are going to get spanked in, its this one..
I hope I am wrong, and that I can get rid of the sour/disappointing taste from the weekends result before Sunday..

[WolfMan]

Will hopefully be at SJ's on Sunday for this one.

Happy with a point away from home given our most recent form

[plague]

Doomed.
Fold the club.

Miller out.

[Couscous]

I feel a little deflated after the weekend. I will decide later which team I will support in round 7.

[hawk]

Adelaide are jew. 3-1 to the tampons

[Superdylan]

Not too confident

Smacked 7-0 last time in Adelaide. Not getting too ahead of myself here. Likely another draw.

[Wilso8948]

Jets decent defence this year with weak attack without Leo vs Adelaide with decent attack and rubbish defence. Will be content to come away with a point

[RAM]

Jets decent defence this year with weak attack without Leo vs Adelaide with decent attack and rubbish defence. Will be content to come away with a point

x2

[Retro Jet]

Eugene back, Tarek will have a go.
Last week showed we don't know how to go for the jugular.
Got coughing up their first 3 pointer all over it...

[Grimario]

Not looking forward to my first away trip.

[Blackmac79]

Adelaide with their first win of the season.

[hawk]

Theres only one team that can play another team into form

[Grimario]

Kanta, Cooper, Crowley IN
Pawaik OUT

Leonardo still in squad

[Jeterpool]

Still no Brennan.

Also Shaun Evans is the referee

[Grimario]

Still no Brennan.

Also Shaun Evans is the referee

Pav was awful on the weekend... is Brennan dead? If not, what does he have to do to even be part of the squad ahead of Pav?

[Couscous]

I have decided to support the Jets this weekend.

Garn, Newy! Jets TID!

[halo se7en]

Adelaide 2-0. Boogaard :redcard:

[The Dunster]

Pissants to win 3-0.

We have no chance.

[plague]

have we lost this game yet?

[sneaky]

Where is Brennan??

[GazFish35]

he's like the Tassie tiger?

no-one alive has ever seen him

[joel31]

I get the feeling that if Miller won't even put him on the bench when the bench as it is is rubbish that this Brennan bloke must be a terrible footballer

[Jeterpool]

It says a lot when Kitts comes straight into the team.

[belchardo]

Geez adelaide's crowds have fallen away.

[furns]

Geez adelaide's crowds have fallen away.
Much like ours during times of crisis.

[Hunter403]

We are toothless in the front third

[belchardo]

Glad we're playing with the same intensity and passion as last week.

[belchardo]

Much like ours during times of crisis.

Understand and accept that. It's just disappointing to see (and not blaming the fans). FFA must be concerned about crowds this year.

[belchardo]

How many cards has kanta had this season? (Looking at you jeterpool)

[furns]

I uploaded this emoticon just so I could post it about our intensity so far this game

:yawn:

[Hunter403]

Who was it that said we will play Adelaide into form? He was dead right

[The Dunster]

....

[belchardo]

Just counted 8 players walking when we had the ball. Only player moving faster than that was the guy with the ball. He wasn't breaking any land speed records either.

[The Dunster]

The jets look like a NBN side on the brink of relegation. Terrible.

[Wilso8948]

Alivodic is rubbish how does he keep getting a run. And no I wasn't a fan last year. We are terrible without a creative mid in our team

[weston]

Ffs, I've lost power.

[belchardo]

Ffs, I've lost power.

So have the jets.

[Hunter403]

Ffs, I've lost power.

You won't miss much

[furns]

Dave's set pieces are shit this game

[belchardo]

Good save.

[furns]

Alivodic is rubbish how does he keep getting a run. And no I wasn't a fan last year. We are terrible without a creative mid in our team
He gets a run because he works his arse off. Not much he can do when he is the only one.

[The Dunster]

Anyone doubting Leonardo's quality only needs to see how shit we are without him.

[hawk]

thank god its not at home where i would have to go and watch

[belchardo]

Anyone doubting Leonardo's quality only needs to see how shit we are without him.

In a desert a puddle of piss looks good too. :gent:

But I think leo is good though.

[Hunter403]

Uninspiring first half. We haven't troubled them

[Wilso8948]

He gets a run because he works his arse off. Not much he can do when he is the only one.

You're kidding aren't u? If that all it takes to get a run.. I could sprint up and down all day on the wing but if I have the touch of a rapist doesn't make me a professional footballer. I agree that he makes more of an effort then old Devon head carney. God I hope he proves me wrong in the second half

[furns]

Watson off Cooper on, put Kanta back with Poljak

[Wilso8948]

Watson off Cooper on, put Kanta back with Poljak

Agree. Just cause it didn't work last time doesn't mean it won't work here. Kanta is not a 10

[Hunter403]

If we win this we go to 14 points and equal top. Wouldn't know if from the intensity displayed.

[foti68]

If we win this we go to 14 points and equal top. Wouldn't know if from the intensity displayed.

do we get 4 points for a win now?

[plague]

If we win this we go to 14 points and equal top. Wouldn't know if from the intensity displayed.

you realise we could have gone top last week too yet still served up a warm bucket of piss.

this team hates the fans.

**** this club.

[Hunter403]

On 11 if I recall and top is 14 at the moment. Three for a win. Could be wrong

Disclaimer: any maths I do is dodgy after the number of beers I've had this afternoon

[redwah]

Is it actually 45degrees in Adelaide? T really looks like there is no energy at from either team.

[belchardo]

Thought we were on 10.

[hawk]

If we win this we go to 14 points and equal top. Wouldn't know if from the intensity displayed.

aint gonna happen

[Hunter403]

Thought we were on 10.

going off the table fox put on the screen.

[NewyTy]

going off the table fox put on the screen.

Fox put up a 'live ladder' with the current 0-0 scoreline added as a draw. We were on 10 before this game.

[plague]

another year of the keeper getting players player.

****ing shameful.

[Retro Jet]

Birraz....top shelf v Jimmy Lego

[hawk]

when will we throw it away 83rd?

[belchardo]

Birra having a great game. Glad one of them decided to turn up today.

[hawk]

biraz hasnt even scored

[Jetmaster]

Birra having a great game. Glad one of them decided to turn up today.

Birraz the shotstopper is in form...it's the Flapper I worry about.

[Hunter403]

Could be right Plague. Certainly won't be a striker at this rate.

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Getting dominated by the team coming last. To shelf Jets.

[MFKS]

Where the **** are the subs??

[GazFish35]

Where the **** are the subs??

Stuck in customs

[NewyTy]

This has just been horrendous. Imagine the score if this was against Victory.

[Hunter403]

Kitto on for a defender. Is Brennan a real person?

[hawk]

nil all is all we care for

[furns]

And with that sub - Scott shows that he doesnt rate Brennan.
Having said that, unsurprising considering Stubbins signed him.

[Hunter403]

nil all is all we care for

Nah, we'll concede in the last few minutes as usual

[Jetmaster]

Kitto on for a defender. Is Brennan a real person?

Must be...was second favourite after Triff to score according to the betting market pre-game.

[hawk]

boogaard sore vulva? nope, ankle

[furns]

Two young blokes up front, now we have movement with three minutes to go

[weston]

Did we score or is the app trolling me???? Ffs

[NewyTy]

Did we score or is the app trolling me???? Ffs

Hoffman headed home but it was rightly ruled offside.

[The Dunster]

Hoffman with his 2nd offside disallowed goal of the season

[weston]

Hoffman headed home but it was rightly ruled offside.

It was onside. Even I could see that from qld with no power to watch it on tv

[The Dunster]

Watsons down. Doesn't look good though because he's back on his feet.

[furns]

away point
Only the final five minutes had any excitement whatsoever.
have no idea what we are going to talk about on the podcast this week lol

[Hunter403]

Bloody lucky to get a draw. Birra was damn good.

[NewyTy]

One of the luckiest draws I've ever seen. Need a lot of improvement against Brisbane.

[hawk]

Aleague was the only thing saving my foxsports. i think its done

[plague]

More garbage.
Anyone shocked by this is a bum.

[Retro Jet]

when will we throw it away 83rd?

We waited to give them a gilt edged chance until the 99th....fricken felt like it anyway.

[hawk]

More garbage.
Anyone shocked by this is a bum.

Birraz and Boogs in Bozza's Team of the Week

[Grimario]

That was shit to watch at the stadium. Made worse by a group of drunk Jet fans who were absolutely off their face when they arrived.

Might skip the last Jets game and just watch whatever night games Adelaide have.

Can deal with that. It will improve met descriptive vocabulary

Birraz and Boogs in Bozza's Team of the Week

Only two keeping us where we are. As I said on the pod - teams have worked us out

[Jeterpool]

How many cards has kanta had this season? (Looking at you jeterpool)

4. Carney is in the same boat. Triffo has 3

What the **** is Carney getting cards for.

Couldn't have anything to do with tackling or chasing back as he dont do that

Dunno. Not asked him

[Grimario]

Stop that right now Bec....:lulzturtle:

Don't get the reference.

[belchardo]

Silver lining - we used to perform like that last year and we bitched about not getting any points. At least we're getting a point this year.

[lquiquer]

Don't get the reference.

Don't u get the Sunday telegraph in the city of churches? Rebecca Wilson? Rings the bell?....

[leftrightout]

There was a 2 minute period around 83-84 minutes that was possibly the worst few moments of football I think I've ever seen. It was comicaly bad by both teams! Gypos and Adelaide, 1 point from two games against the two worst teams (besides us?) in the Comp. Cannot make top 6 doing that.

Yep.... Last year and the year before and the year before and the...... We would have lost that game. We not pretty but we not easy either .......

[leftrightout]

The scariest thing is that if we actually did hold gypos out and that offside last night was overlooked, we would be outright first.

Two things that could have easily gone our way because of the shit opposition and the ineptness of referees.

[Grimario]

Don't u get the Sunday telegraph in the city of churches? Rebecca Wilson? Rings the bell?....

Don't read news papers, sorry.

[Bon]

Watson off Cooper on, put Kanta back with Poljak

Damn straight..

No need to be sorry .... I myself won't buy Telegraph any more

You could throw the two Sydney games in there as well... we were reasonably close to 4 points from those, ended up with 0 only in the last few minutes

[Retro Jet]

Game of small percentages...innit!
