Geez your that paranoid your finding your own mistakes now ??

[Jeterpool]

Geez your that paranoid your finding your own mistakes now ??

No - more a case I'm trying to do this too quickly that I make mistakes.

Also, *You're x2 :tongue:

[leftrightout]

I am actually feeling confident about this match, that worries me!

Given our form and their form plus the fact their average age is 44 we really should run them around.
We also have a great record up there.

[GrantB]

Jets to win 3-1
Roy & Ronnie to score, pls one other.

[380]

Jets 3
Dads Army 1

[plague]

So let’s see:
Jets have a great record up there.
Jets are undefeated.
Jets are banging in goals.
Brisbane look trash.



Yep, only one way this game is going.

[belchardo]

TALKING POINTS:


Nikolai Topor-Stanley could make his 84th A-League appearance for the club, taking him to 9th overall, surpassing Joel Griffiths.




geez, how good is griff, stepping aside from the game all that time ago to let topor have this moment of glory. :wub:

[hawk]

roar 3-0

[Premy]

Whilst Griffo had the 83 A-League appearances he also had 45 appearances for the Club in the NSL.
Where does that put him in the overall appearances for the club Jeterpool?

I really don't know mate. I've only got appearances for the Jets. Against the likes of Shane Pryce, Andy Roberts, Mark Wilson etc I couldn't even guess

[Grimario]

Yeah, Premy will need to ask Unitedpool or Breakerpool for those details.

[The Dunster]

The team will continue to play exciting football and because of that I'd be quietly confident of us getting the three points. Brisbane might turn things around but if they start off slow against the Jets attack it might be over before half time for them.

[StannyCFCJET]

Is that french winger for Roar playing?

[lil_masi]

Is that french winger for Roar playing?

He just landed this morning so highly doubt it

Mods - Title needs correction please.

[Jeterpool]

Interesting conversation on the pod this week. Pv4 thought he'd rest Vargas and start Brown to let the game settle in before bringing Vargas on in the 2nd half.

Me, I thought focus on ourselves, play our best team and go for the jugular. Vargas needs game time. He lasted 60-odd, then 70-odd.

What approach would you take with the line-up?

[GrantB]

"play our best team and go for the jugular. Vargas needs game time."


This.

[Macca]

Rather see more of Vargas than Brown. If you start Brown surely you're committing him for at bare minimum the first half if not an hour. Which we know Vargas has that in him already. In Merrick's interview after the Perth game, he reckoned Vargas would be getting close to completing the game against Brisbane.

I know Brown has been copping a touch of criticism following his performance last week (which I think wasn't helped by the tactical move to a midfield 3), but do people thing he's taking time to get up to the speed of the game, which is why he's looking a bit stifling?

Not really interesting

All I see is a Gypo saying the best player the club has signed since Griff , a bloke who shows quality that sets him apart should not be playing

Yeah let's just try and lose the game etc

Haven't heard anything that stupid since Muppet sacked Griff and thought we go better without him

[pv4]

Says the bloke that wanted Craig Goodwin benched..

Is it really that criminal to want to return to normal service? :oops:

When Corey fxxxing Brown breaks Ronnie's ankle, let's talk.

So you're saying you don't agree?

I feel like a lot of Brown's value is in his industry and work rate, which is probably wasted to some extent later in the game when its cooled off a bit. A one man pressing show won't get much done.
He is probably a bit slicker than the average a-league midfielder but I wouldn't say he is a silky type like Vargas is who's going to unlock defences and create chances with great touches or passes. Although I hope he gets some time as the season goes on and can prove me wrong there. Last years pre season and early season he looked great.

[turbojetfireV8]

but if you start Vargas and Brown then you drop Kanta or Sugar I assume?

[Macca]

but if you start Vargas and Brown then you drop Kanta or Sugar I assume?

I would yes. I don't think Kanta or Ugar necessarily deserves to be dropped so I'd be leaving things where the are for the moment. I'm quite happy with both our wingers, and want Vargas in the middle. Brown is a central player to me so he's vying for the 6, 8 or 10 which is Kanta, Ugar and Vargas. I don't think he holds a candle to Vargas from an attacking sense so unless he can take one of the other two's spots then he may have to bide his time.

[MFKS]

I was proven right on that

Bloke played done nothing and faded out for 3 years all because GVE didn't listen to me

Playing Roar with their possession shit you want a bloke like Vargas on there to give you the brilliance when you get possession

[Jeterpool]

I'd argue his form dipped because he was dropped.

It's refreshing to have some solid competition for spots this season.

Across the back, Hoffman and Jackson will be looking to start. Brown in the centre of the park. Moss at keeper.

[Hunter403]

Play Ugar at 6, Brown at 8 and Vargas at 10. Keep Kanta on the bench and adjust the formation if the need is there during the game.

[The Dunster]

I'd argue his form dipped because he was dropped.

Speaking of Goodwin wiki say's that he's 6'4" tall ? Did he have a growth spurt since he left Australia ?

[Jetmaster]

I'd like to see us have a crack and try running them ragged whilst their confidence is shot.

If we sit back and let them get their rhythm you can see them nicking a goal and try to hold onto it

[plague]

Play Ugar at 6, Brown at 8 and Vargas at 10. Keep Kanta on the bench and adjust the formation if the need is there during the game.

Yep. This is the move once Kantarovski drops in form/gets suspended/gets injured.

Right now leave it as is. On current form I don’t see Kanta or Ugabooga being the problem.

[Bon]

It's OK, I've balanced you out by my draw/Jets; half/full double.

Got the "Perth to come from behind and draw" over the line last week, I expect this to follow suit

[Couscous]

Today will be all about Vujica and Sugar ... and the Return of Brown. Wayne to dominate.

[leftrightout]

I don't know what you are doing today but it sounds very R rated!

[StannyCFCJET]

Is the premier hotel still the away game venue?

[belchardo]

how did he miss?

[plague]

hashtagvargasout

[Hunter403]

Dumb Kanta tackle

[Hunter403]

Still looks a crap surface

[Hunter403]

Nice goal!!!!

[Jetmaster]

Griff....I mean Roy!

[belchardo]

that's how you do it ronny!!!

[belchardo]

Still looks a crap surface

bloody wallabies.

[Hunter403]

May the spirit of Griff compel you! May the spirit of Griff compel you.....

[Hunter403]

That Italian is giving Boogs nightmares

[StannyCFCJET]

Vargas always the pass before the assist quality

[plague]

Where are those haterz that kept saying my boy vujica was just a defensive player?

Repent now assholes.

[sorefootballer]

I thought the gold Guernsey was the away one? Is it because they could clash with the orange?

[Jetmaster]

Would make perfect sense just to wear the blue strip.

[sorefootballer]

Yeah but since when do the jets and or a league have any common sense?

[belchardo]

great work ref/VAR and great work boogs.

dead set pen not given.

boogs does what boogs does. shit work in the midfield though.

[plague]

Feel free to keep defending him you guys.

[The Camel]

Bloody Boogaard He needs to be dropped

[Hunter403]

Bloody Petratos!! You beauty!!!!

[Imyourhero]

Lovely body position from Boogs there

[sorefootballer]

No more boogs...more dimi

[belchardo]

DIMI!!!! great shot.

[Hunter403]

The Diminator strikes again

[Hunter403]

Is Topor playing? Don't think I've heard him mentioned

[belchardo]

one day we'll get a clean sheet.

[Hunter403]

one day we'll get a clean sheet.
You poor misguided fool....

[MFKS]

Feel free to keep defending him you guys.

Useless ****

How he keep getting picked??

That now 4 goals conceded and all 4 I holding him accountable for

[MFKS]

Is Topor playing? Don't think I've heard him mentioned

He the bloke doing his job

Not the centre back getting turned inside out regularly and scoring oggys

Couldn't care less if I don't hear his name

As long as I ain't hearing their attackers name

[plague]

Carry on all you want you guys but truth be told we are only one more Boogaard cock up from being level.


Also: this is the Jets you’re watching.

[Hunter403]

Bad miss Queenie

[MFKS]

**** no

Typical Newy

[Hunter403]

Noooooooooooo!!!

[Imyourhero]

Season ending there

***Career ending

[sorefootballer]

Hopes for the season... Gone

[Hunter403]

We won't be the same without him

[plague]

The **** we need to see 6 replays of that?

[StannyCFCJET]

Vargas is gone ffs. We can't catch a break

[The Camel]

Hopes for the season... Gone
That's a dogshit challenge from McKay and that **** ref calls play on. ****ing horseshit

[hawk]

As usual our best players get hacked and injured. We dont touch theirs. a**holes

[plague]

Hopes for the season... Gone

Don’t get me wrong I understand what you mean but who cares about the ****ing team when the poor bloke is lying there with a snapped leg.

[MFKS]

Does Brown know he can't **** off early this game and has to stick it out to Full time today??

[The Dunster]

Compound fracture

[sorefootballer]

I'm sad now. Maybe we can sign a gun I lnjury waiver

[Hunter403]

****, that poor bastard. Must hurt like hell

[sorefootballer]

Plague, pretty sure I don't have to say I feel bad for the bloke... Given thenature of the Injury I don't think my sympathy means **** all

[Hunter403]

Macaroni makes us look cheesy

[MFKS]

Carry on all you want you guys but truth be told we are only one more Boogaard cock up from being level.


Also: this is the Jets you’re watching.
There it is

****ing useless ****

[plague]

There it is

Like night follows day.

We done it.

[monz6]

How good is VAR!

[StannyCFCJET]

Our heads are gone were losing this game and we won't make finals without Vargas

[MFKS]

Like night follows day.

We done it.

VAR saves his arse

Still plenty of time

[Retro Jet]

:fap:
How long will this score stand?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Love VAR.
Boogaard saves the day by keeping a high line. Great defending.

[The Dunster]

Love VAR😂

[MFKS]

This ref know he can card blokes for dissent??

The Roar blokes screaming at him is allowed??

[plague]

VAR saves his arse

Still plenty of time

Nope.
Boogaard still can’t defend.

[Hunter403]

Brown clearly wants a week off

[hawk]

Ok next is the cheap penalty for the home side, waiting....

[belchardo]

damn vargas' injury looked very nasty.

best wishes buddy, but i think we can safely say we won't see him until the new year at the very earliest.

[sorefootballer]

Pin plates external fixators maybe, looking at 10-12wks at best

[Roundball Enthusiast]

https://twitter.com/KevinAirs442/status/922002260627832832

"That’s just the most horrific injury if true - compound fracture of the leg and dislocated ankle. Such a shame - Vargas looked like a gun."

[Imyourhero]

10-12 wks healing, let alone adding conditioning!

[Hunter403]

8 minutes. We deserve the win so we'll probably blow it

[hawk]

dumb fks wishing for speedy recovery. Cant happen. How bout wishing for no fkwit tackles but nooooo

[sorefootballer]

I'm hoping he will be right to do some running at about the 8wk mark..the at best was my get out clause

[sorefootballer]

You don't want a speedy recovery dumb fuk?

[belchardo]

vujica was massive.

[Retro Jet]

Fk these guys must hate playing us.
3pts but every meal has it's price...and we're paying for this one.

[MFKS]

I'm hoping he will be right to do some running at about the 8wk mark..the at best was my get out clause

My sister had a similar injury falling down some steps on a wet day

It took her a long long long time to get mobile again

I would not be expecting him back this season at all


Not only that it probably career threatening too as he going to have lots of ongoing problems

It not a put a cast on it and 6 week later thing he good to go

[Couscous]

Missed it. How was Brown? Slotted in seamlessly for Ronald?

[Bremsstrahlung]

Obviously dependent on what he has done.
Some people recover quicker than others. I think he will be taking his time to get it right.

[The Dunster]

I doubt we will see Vargas play for the Jets again.

[foti68]

I doubt we will see Vargas play for the Jets again.

I agree
Enter Nathan Burns???

[Hunter403]

Missed it. How was Brown? Slotted in seamlessly for Ronald?

If only he did. Seemed keen to get sent off with some pretty dumb tackles. He's just not in the same class as Vargas. As soon as we lost Vargas, Roar suddenly thought they could win. Every other team will think that too now.

[MFKS]

Says the bloke that wanted Craig Goodwin benched..

Is it really that criminal to want to return to normal service? :oops:

When Corey fxxxing Brown breaks Ronnie's ankle, let's talk.

Matt McKay done it

And here I am for that talk Nostradamus

[plague]

Dude ain’t playing again this season.

[lquiquer]

vujica was massive.

Heroic

[turbojetfireV8]

at least we have Hoff as a back up if Vujica needs a rest. Can't say that for Ronny - Bert won't be able to find an injury replacement overnight, it will take time that we don't have

[StannyCFCJET]

vujica was massive.

Potentially injured I reckon

[plague]

funny part is, i reackon Vujica is the exact same player as last year.
One coach doesnt rate him and benches him.
Another coach throws him out there, increases his role in the team and hes been our best through 3 rounds.

[belchardo]

what i love about vujica isthat he always looks like he doesn't quite believe he's actually out there. busting a gut and having fun. what more could you want?

i thought he was just cramping up at the end. physio didn't seem too worried when he went down.

[Mitchy]

funny part is, i reackon Vujica is the exact same player as last year.
One coach doesnt rate him and benches him.

Pretty much agree with all of this

Loved how happy he was after his assist

Didn't he get in the side last season and was doing well and then got injured with a hammy from memory??

After that he just never got back in the side ??

Member and Jones.

Ride or die.

give it up big fella.

[plague]

i think you had him playing state league with Tarek Elrich at one stage last year too Boss.

Cowburn is next. You blokes watch him get an extended run.

hes good.

[MFKS]

hes good.

Think you got me mistaken I ain't ridden him at all

My main gripe with him is his lack of speed feel it makes him a potential weakness

Problem is with Boogaard back there no one worrying about picking on Vujica speed too much as they just missing out on the lulz Boogaard offers

Rest of his game is solid

[plague]

big 6 points today.

caaarrrnnnn the Jets.

[plague]

My main gripe with him is his lack of speed feel it makes him a potential weakness

huh?

who is out running him?

that gypo prick with no touch in round one?

Vujica was just conserving energy knowing not to bother because the gypo was never going to control it anyway.

[Macca]

Heartbreaking injury for Ronny. Post match interview was hard to watch, Merrick almost in tears.

I really hope its not the last we see of him

[pv4]

Matt McKay done it

And here I am for that talk Nostradamus

Honestly, you admitting you were less right than anyone else is enough for us all :rof::oops:

Heartbreaking injury for Ronny. Post match interview was hard to watch, Merrick almost in tears.

geez we're all in tears. How often do we land a good marquee. It wasnt even a bad challenge.

So who didnt pay the injury Gods?

I blame Bon for putting money on the Jets

Credit to Dimi for not celebrating against his old club, respect for supporters is something that is getting lost in modern football.

[Bon]

I blame Bon for putting money on the Jets

Bloody hell.. I knew I shouldn't have done it..
Got the money, but at what cost..
Poor Ronny, absolutely devoed..

(On a side not, I put a sly $5 four-leg multi on - City win, Sydney draw, Jets win, Mariners..... win.. So the gypos fvcked me - and deservedly so, for betting on them)

Got the money, but at what cost..
Poor Ronny, absolutely devoed..

(On a side not, I put a sly $5 four-leg multi on - City win, Sydney draw, Jets win, Mariners..... win.. So the gypos fvcked me - and deservedly so, for betting on them)

Karma........

You REALLY want a ban, don't you.

Club update on Vargas. Only the ankle is broken.

[Mark325]

Shame about the injury cause it really overshadowed what was, especially pre injury was a great performance from a select few

Vujica's performance was incredible, how long is he signed for cause if he keeps that up it ain't long enough

Roy just keeps finding the back of net, 5 goals in 3 games is crazy good

Nabbout and Dimi were fantastic, if nabbout could learn how to put away his chances we'd be scoring goals left right and centre

Uga and Kanta played a lot better this game then last week, much more control of the middle of the pitch

Shame we boogard in the team, when he leaves and we replace him with someone competent who also warrants the amount of coin he's being paid, this team will be a lot better off

[Premy]

How long has it been since we named the same starting IX 3 weeks in a row.

That said against WSW I would like to see us start Jackson ahead of Boogaard and bring Champness in to replace Ronnie.

Credit to Dimi for not celebrating against his old club, respect for supporters is something that is getting lost in modern football.

Credit to Roy for doing the exact opposite.

Were you disappointed that O'Donovan celebrated without hesitation in Round 1 then?

FWIW, I think it's up to the individual. If they feel like celebrating, then go for it. If for some reason they think it's more respectful not to, that's cool too.

The goal still stands, not like celebrating makes it worth double

[goaliepersempre]

This ref know he can card blokes for dissent??

The Roar blokes screaming at him is allowed??

I had an online stream from over here (yew sunday back in country)

You could here it all the time, straight after the VAR decision. Mckay a massive **** Off and arm wave and it was clearly directed at the officials... I thought the ref would really loose the game for a moment there in that 10-15 minute period....


Vargas injury shitttttt.... in any case its going to be a long recovery... IF he can play and if he us ever the same player again we will see....

Hell no Gypos showed O'Donovan no respect he responded to that in the best manner possible.

this is the one true foz post.


You're either one of us, or one of them.
Petratos out.

Non-celebration is another new age "nice" thing to do and it shits me.

Fair enough if you were entrenched with a club for years - you wouldn't expect celebrations from Gerard v Liverpool, Terry v Chelsea for example.

The only ex-player I have ever noticed not celebrate against us was Ryan Griffiths in an ACL game (and he only played NSL here at that time). Everyone else has given us the big ones.

Need more Zadz and Roy celebrations - your previous team should be dead to you.

Dimi Petratos was at Roar from 2013-2017 which in A-League years equivalent is a lifetime.

You're not at that club anymore, and unless you spent your youth there or were in that club for longer than 5 years then fair enough.
Seeing players giving it the big ones to ex-clubs supporters when they score against them warms my heart :lol:

this - nothing warms the heart of a football supporter more than a bit of Schadenfreude... ;)

It would make my day to hear Roy left an upper decker in the BTS changeroom toilets.
