[belchardo]

the last stat in the general section really surprised me. i thought the first third of the season was much better than the second, but turns out we've got the same number of points during that period. how good are brains!

i think it might be good for georgevski to sit a match out, he's really down on form and hopefully a rest gives him a bit more...something.

also, jeterpool, you missed the memorable match bit! :redcard: :rof:

[mic22]

Hoff right back, Champness and Pato wings?

[380]

Nah Hoff to bench. Crazy G is a better RB than Hoff. Unfortunately for Hoff he is just going to be a victim off better players starting to return who play further up the park where he has been getting used.

On Current form Hoff is un-dropable IMO

[MFKS]

On Current form Hoff is un-dropable IMO

He is going well

But slow the **** down with the big statements

He ain't that indispensable FFS

[380]

The price for having a strong squad that goes deeper than what we have been used to in seasons past. Somebody has to miss out and inevitably that will include players who are going good.

You don't drop players in form and disrupt that form

You don't drop players in form and disrupt that form


Not dropped just no place for him in the first 11. Dropping a bloke from another position just to make room for Hoff seems more of a selection based on sentiment. If memory serves me correctly Hoff did not start at RB at the beginning of the season and has pretty much played bugger all time at RB this season. He has made his mark this season with his versatility based on our injury list. Between blokes coming back from the injury list and extras in the transfer window he slips back. Unfortunate for Hoff but great for the club and its supporters, Unless that is if you would rather it like it was in years gone by where we scratching to even come up with a half decent first 11 in which case Hoff is a certain starter each week.

I just feel with Hoff scoring a fair few recently lets keep him in the team and see he goes with Roy back

Drop him off at bloody Mega Mania or Revolution. Worst case leave him in the car. We lose it is on you.

hes the cursed one. My life is blessed homie.

nah other way around.
i hate the Jets.

[MFKS]

Leave him in the car park unattended at West's

Just put some Asian paraphernalia on the dashboard

Give you at least 3-4 hours grace in his absence

[MFKS]

You don't drop players in form and disrupt that form

When our players are back

Roy starts
Pato starts
Dimi starts
Vargas starts

So where you see Hoff in the front four??

Because I don't see how Nabbout gets a start and I have him ahead off Hoffman in the pecking order

Don't forget you also have Joey C in the mix too

As for at the back Georgevski and King Vuj have their spots and Hoff is only cover for them

So by my counts Hoffman is bench player and his versatility will actually probably see him as one of the first picked on the bench

Agree, but

Daniel Georgievski will miss the match after receiving his 5th yellow card of the season against City.

I wouldn't risk Johnny K again at RB: Barba, Berisha and George (who is shit, I know :D), would tear him to pieces...

[plague]

George (who is shit, I know :D)

you are now my 2nd* fav Foz posterer.

Sorry Member, you're down to third, pick up your game.

i would like to see this team start this week

Moss - unfortunately think Duncan will get the nod

vujica
Topor
Boogs
Hoffman

Kanta
Ugar

Pato
Dimi
Champs

Nabbout

Bench
Roy - ease him back in
Mcgree
Jackson
thurgate

[Jetmaster]

I too would be surprised if Roy started after such a long break.

Pretty much agree. If Moss is healthy I'd like to see him start but if he's still recovering I wouldn't mind the show of faith in Duncan either.

[Tommyjet]

I think people need to get over the fact Duncan is first choice and moss is happy to be back up, ask moss himself. Sure Duncan has had some moments but showed he was more than capable at start of the season.

[380]

I don't see how any any keeper should be regarded as first choice. First choice should be the bloke who is going best at the time. That is Moss at present.

[Macca]

Not sure if that was aimed at me or a general comment, but I'm happy with Duncan as first choice. My only point is you have a backup for a reason and I don't think Duncan should be untouchable in the starting lineup especially given how Moss has shown he can perform too.

[la bazzle]

How anyone could not want moss is beyond me? Please point to Moss’ point costing errors.... whereas there’s three games (Sydney, smellington and now city) where Duncan should have done better. Sure he pulls off some belters but so does Moss.... but without the errors.... I’m still confused why anyone wouldn’t prefer Moss...

Bobo goal v Blue Aids

That was Moss ball

There is one **** up for you

Lachy Jackson’s allllllllll day

He might have come for it but he didn’t go to flap city. Duncan’s a great keeper no doubt.... but there’s no way he’s earned his spot back

[MFKS]

Lachy Jackson’s allllllllll day

He might have come for it but he didn’t go to flap city. Duncan’s a great keeper no doubt.... but there’s no way he’s earned his spot back

It was a lobbed ball into the 6 yard box and Bobo headed it from 4-5 yards out

Shit defending from Jackson no doubt to put no pressure on the ball or his opponent

But balls in this area are the keepers all day long

Bobo shouldn't have got a touch on it as Moss should have grabbed it 50 cm before his head

[la bazzle]

I’ll semi-agree, but not completely agree cause then I’d be wrong

[Roundball Enthusiast]

Should be an easy win.

4-1. Get on it, bookies don't know what they're doing paying so much.

[Jeterpool]

Key match ups for me:

Jets RB v George
Vujica v Barbarouses
Dimi v Valeri
Pato v Victory Right Back (might be Nigro with Geria out)

Bloke is ****ing trash

Our RB is odds on for MoM

[The Dunster]

Last time Muscat got the win by man marking Dimi out of the game.
That's not going to work this time because they will also have to contend with Roy and Pato.

Not 100% sure but was DG out injured as well when Victory beat us ?

[Wilso8948]

Barbarouses tore Vuj a new one last game. Just calling it how it was.

True this. Poor old Vuj he has not been blessed with the quickest or longest of pegs the outside ones at least but he does make up for it in the effort department. Peoples champ, we all love a battler.

Their winning goal came from a 2 footed studs up tackle that the **** Beath ignored as per usual

Shaun Evans is the referee.

Victory have a 58.33% win ratio under games he officiates.

The Jets have a 13.33% win ratio. We've lost 53.33% of our games he's officiated.

He's sent Boogaard off twice since he's been with the club.

We've drawn (v Perth at home) and lost (v City at home) the two games of ours he's officiated this year.

[Jetmaster]

Just so we all know, it is the "Rebel Play Football Round" and the first round of "The Chase".

Take me back to the 70's ffs.

No doubt the ref is a **** of the highest order

Think Evans will surpass all one day for being better than Beath

But to imply that he doesn't like us because he sends Boogaard off is harsh

He actually helping us everytime he does

Not implying anything. Stating facts. Take from those facts what you like.

[380]

Just another ref who's performances went further downhill after being made full time by our incompetent referees boss and FFA. Perhaps send Griff down to FFA HQ on a shert term basis and get them to sort there shit out. He has done wonders with our CEO so imagine the cleanup job he could do at FFA HQ.Griff could take Gallop for a surf and feed him to the sharks.

Oh is he Injured?

[la bazzle]

Any hints from Ernz re: Roy boy? Or we all just thinking sensbilness and bench.... I’m secretly hoping we be heaps reckless and start him

[Jeterpool]

Oh is he Injured?

No, he's just not selected.

[Jeterpool]

Any hints from Ernz re: Roy boy? Or we all just thinking sensbilness and bench.... I’m secretly hoping we be heaps reckless and start him

jimmy G tweeted that Ernie reckons they'll give Roy 45. Unclear if from the beginning or 2nd half. Also said that McGree is expected to start.

Pulling that together, in addtion to words about Pato starting forever and a day and the hints that Hoffman will be moved back, it leaves Dimi and Nabbout.

Would you be dropping them? I doubt it.

Therefore I think we will see Roy come off the bench 2nd half for McGree.

I am finding the transition of supporting a team that's not shit very easy.

Would you be dropping them? I doubt it.

.

Nah probs not this week if thats the case. Wouldn’t mind big Dim getting some form back, if not, bin

[Roundball Enthusiast]

I dont think we've had this good a selection "problem" in a very, very long time.

Well overdue. Lets tear them a new one.

[380]

Certainly going to be some talent riding the pine shortly. The upside of pretty much having 2 players for each position from an attacking sense. Probs for another thread but can see City slipping further behind with Fornaroli still weeks away. A real chance for us to put some daylight between us and them over the next month.

[StannyCFCJET]

haven't listened yet which is a shock for me. Plan to tonight

[Superdylan]

Thinking a 3-2 win. Boys will have their heads switched on alot more then the phoenix game.

Our afternoon record is ****ed at home but this season.

[hawk]

singalong cobbers.....im forever bursting bubbles.....lose

[Jetmaster]

Ok Dimi....word is the new Socceroos coach will attend. This is YOUR chance. You have been either quiet or unstoppable. Play like you did v Wanderers...win the game and get yourself to Russia.

[belchardo]

i'm hoping for a better whole of team performance tonight. the last few weeks have concerned me and i'd love to see us put a performance together like some of our earlier matches.

[Couscous]

I don't see how Nabbout gets a start

Nabbout is our best player, FFS #engines

4500 crowd today in this weather.

Gypo CEO strikes again scheduling a match on such a crappy day.

[plague]

In addition to The Curse of the Plague Jnr today I’ll let you know that we have the last leg of a 6 leg multi as a Victory win or draw double chance.

The only way I lose money is if the Jets win, so there are no losers today boys.

[380]

4500 crowd today in this weather.

Gypo CEO strikes again scheduling a match on such a crappy day.

Think you are right unfortunately. Half decent weather and a better kick off time this match had the potential to be a 13K plus crowd. As long as we can attract a better crowd than the pretenders down the road who struggle to better 5300 on a Sat night in nice weather at a night time kick off during school holidays.

[StannyCFCJET]

Roy starts No Champness

[belchardo]

Half Time talk from Bert

Introduce him to his teammates
Tell them to give him the ****ing ball

Match him up on Broxham

[plague]

Boogaard killing my bet will be a top 10 Jets moment.

I’m here for it.

[belchardo]

this referee is a ****ing moron. that is not a yellow card. it's a ****ing head clash in a fair challenge.

[la bazzle]

Anyone watching tv what the **** happened there?

[Hunter403]

Really? Nabbout going for the ball. Play on and goal. Shit ref

[The Camel]

Evans is a ****stick. Never a yellow to Nabbout. Cheating ****. Great headbutt though

[belchardo]

Anyone watching tv what the **** happened there?

head clash. thomas was out cold on the way down and did a magnificent face plant.

hope he's ok though.

[Hunter403]

Yeah, brave keepong but no foul.

[la bazzle]

Yeah but why a yellow?

[The Camel]

Anyone watching tv what the **** happened there?

I'm ok with it being a foul as Thomas won the ball. But it was never a yello challenge

[belchardo]

Yeah but why a yellow?

nobody knows apart from the moron in yellow. presumably thought it was late or overly aggressive. neither in the opinion of me and commentators.

[belchardo]

goddamn it dimi! play the ball forward, stop trying to do everything yourself! that attack came about cause he ignored topor

[belchardo]

fresh legs please ernie.

roy's done. bring vuj on, push hoffman forward and jackson across.

[Hunter403]

We aren't playing anything like we did in the first 10 games. Been average for some time really.

[Hunter403]

Lucky Duncan is having a good one tonight

[belchardo]

good shift by both roy and jackson.

[MFKS]

Once again that Boogaard shit marking on a set piece

[MFKS]

Berisha couldn't score at Iso tonight with a fistful of fifties

[la bazzle]

Was it a handball?

[belchardo]

Was it a handball?

nah.

just under 11,500 in the crowd.

[belchardo]

shit yeah!

first clean sheet of the season?

[StannyCFCJET]

6 more points and with our superior GD we wrapped up our main goal this season

Finishing higher on the league table than the team coming last

If WSW win tomorrow and we beat them Feb 16 then we achieve it

5-1 in Europe
2-0 in Newy a
And a victory to hand them the ****ing spoon in Europe

Best season ever

[mic22]

Ref wearing the Victory jersey, what a disgrace.
They hacked us the whole time, we ended up with 3 (unjustified) yellow cards and none for them: NTS and Kanta booked for the same foul!!! WTF
I think it was a handball in the box and a penalty for us, but to avoid any doubt the ref didn't even use the VAR. WTF x 2
I was a bit disappointed not to see George in the starting eleven, but then he played and I can write it: he is sh*t :D

Not the best Jets, but heaps of grit. NTS and Duncan superb, Dimi and Pato not so good - sorry for Dimi as this was his chance to impress Van Marwjik, I think he missed it.
I can't understand why we keep playing long balls instead of using the creative players we have up front. Kanta is fantastic at winning balls in the middle, but his passing is terrible.

But a win is a win...
**** Muscat and Berisha, ******* *****, so glad to see them lose (and losing it).

[la bazzle]

Duncan was superb. Glad common sense prevailed and he kept his spot

[plague]

How come we are the only team in the comp that can never sucker Rhys Williams into doing that one stupid thing he does every match (be it a stupid card, foul, penalty or injury). We made him look good out there. New Roos coach was there to watch him (not Patratos) so expect him on the plane to Russia with the Members boy Wilkinson.

Instead it was the Jets and namely Jackson that got suckered in to the niggle with so many silly fouls given away. Topor needs to teach them at training how to get them on the sly because he was making Berisha his bitch all night and looked like an angel the whole time.

Duncans first half save was amazing. Overall great game. good on him.

Kanta is everything that is good about this club. Im almost ready to put him on Mt Rushmore. But yeah his outlet passing was not the best.

Such a shame seeing that shitturd Broxham hit the bar late on. such a weasel. **** that guy.

Plague Jnr has lifted the curse.

The NTUA video thingy was great, and it took centre stage for once. kudos to the club. also, sooooooo much Griff in there, made me smile.

Andy Roberts really shouldnt be out in that wind. it didnt help his Trump style bouffant.



Hail Griff.

Glad your multi went down the ****ing drain

Must have been sick in the guts that Boogaard was the prick responsible

Also today you were right Leroy George was trash

Hoff had him scared all day long

I think you will find Kanta was well worth his foul

He didn't miss

Then he proceeded to jog along with the ref in back play so afterwards the bloke couldn't ****ing miss finding him and forgetting about it

How Victree though didn't get a card was a ****ing disgrace and just shows what a cheat Evans actually is


The Gypo CEO should be up in arms about that card Nabbout got

That is a ****ing disgrace and it should be removed from his record

Was never a ****ing foul

oh no, quite the opposite, it was hilarious that Boogaard did me over.
He played well today, and he owned me.
Bloke should raise a glass tonight.






oh, and Leeroy George is trash.

[mic22]

i think only for mistaken identity yeah?

The ref thought he was a Victory player: does that count as mistaken identity?

[Jetmaster]

I'm actually very happy with that performance. The front four were pants and it was won by the backroom for a change.

Stuff Brillante...get Kanta and Ugar to Russia! We showed fight and niggle and pissed off Babar and Bes no end.

That was a better win than the others since new year.

[plague]

i thought both Nabbout and Kantas cards were justified.

Nabbout didnt make contact with the ball, so therefore he just ran into the goalie leading with his bonce.

cant have that.

Kanta killed the dude from behind yeah? thought it was straight forward.
but yeah there were at least 2 Victory blokes who made similar tackles to Kanta and they deserved the same treatment.

[plague]

also, who headed the goal in after the Nabbout/goalie stack?

[plague]

Lachlan Jackson never looks 'ready' for anything. kids these days getting yelled at to always be on their toes bouncing.

Jackson always looks like hes on his heels. thought he did ok against what was obviously Victory's only outlet. but still, he is a frustrating bloke to watch. much prefer Ivan.

[MFKS]

Nabbout put his head in where Thomas put his fists in

Both players were entitled to go for the ball
No foul by either of them

Play on

Thomas doesn't have to back off that ball
Nabbout doesn't have to back off that ball

It was there for both of them to win and it was only Thomas advantage of being able to use his hands that just got him to the ball first

[Jetmaster]

Two things....what was the "FFA Out" sign the Victory fans had up about?

And did our active support drop off today because school is back in?

Pretty sure you will find both the Adelaide CEO and his Victory counterpart are the most vocal about the game being removed from the control of the FFA. Monkeys see monkeys do. In actual fact i read at a recent Victory function that Gallop was in attendance the Victory CEO doubled up on his anti FFA rhetoric and Gallop was incensed by it.

As for active support unfortunately it certainly did look to be down on numbers and noise from recent times however those that were there did a good job.

Couldn't make the game with Cookers Duties playing a coastie club (won all 3 grades...ground fumigated after)
Didn't read any comments here or elsewhere before finally watching highlights.
I saw that banner in 1 shot and thought, "Is that a flag of Surrender?"
I couldn't see anything written on it.

Pretty good numbers for them in Bay Tard I thought.
Bad luck. P!ss off.

Kind of similar to the Mane incident for me. Both entitled to go for the ball.
The one tht gets there 2nd is gonna get penalised. The initial replay made me thing we were done, looked like nabbout got there first and then Thomas cleaned him up. Reverse angle shows nabbout missed it, Thomas clears it then nabbout makes contact.

[The Dunster]

I think Jackson probably got the nod to mark Barbarousis because he's a few yards quicker than the peoples champion.

Which I thought was the case to

When Jacko got hooked for King Vuj I was surprised as Jacko had kept Barbarousis relatively quiet

As soon as King Vuj came on first play involving the pair and Kosta exposed the pace. I was wondering what Bert was doing as it looked like he had made a change to benefit Victree

After that though King Vuj delivered and kept Kosta in check all day

[Nou Camp]

Who got the fox sports 321?

Duncan
Barba
Kanta

duncan, victory player (barbarouses maybe), kanta i think

Yeh but na. MFKS is right.

[plague]

Yeh but na. MFKS is right.

so by your logic theres never been a foul ever.
i like your angle though. no need for refs.

let em play caaaarrrnnnn

[Wilso8948]

Na. Headclash. Should be pulled up for player welfare but no foul. And certainly not a yellow.

[Wilso8948]

Also by your logic every time two players go for a header and player B collects player A's head after he's won the ball then it will be deemed a yellow. That happens plenty of times in a season and it's never been a yellow.

[plague]

yellow cards are discretionary.
ref thought a bloke who came 2nd in a contest and made dangerous contact with an opponent (who won the ball) was worthy of one.

doesnt matter if it was his head, his foot, his knee or his arm. it was dangerous contact with an opponent.

pretty straight forward id say.

and thats all there is to it.

[Jetmaster]

It wasn't intentional and I would question it was even reckless. No card and the foul only given cos the keeper was toast.

[StannyCFCJET]

It was 50/50 challenge and shouldve been a goal. Merrick was pissed off and rightly so

[Wilso8948]

I can deal with it being no goal. Due to player welfare. Can almost take the foul. What I can't deal with is the yellow. It wasn't reckless and not intentional. We may as well never have 50/50 challenges and all go play handball (the school type).

Jackson was out on his feet also

[380]

I thought Jackson went very well for the job description he was given and that was to stand over Barba and " do a job on him " and frustrate the shite out of him. For a bloke who has had bugger all football and out of his regular position against a speedstar he done great.

[Macca]

Agree, thought Jackson did well keeping Kosta in check. He muscled up well, won a lot of headers and put a couple good shots in (Berisha probably got a couple sore ribs).
Great move by Ernie to start him imo and well done to Jackson for stepping up and doing the job.

Great game by Duncan, he half came on a free kick again before backing off which made me think we were about to concede again. But other than that, great game with 3 or 4 good saves.

We were pretty shit for the first half an hour until Boogs scored, largely just CBs pumping balls to their keeper. I think we may have struggled if Duncan didn't save that chance Barbarouses had in the first half. Thems the breaks though.
Good win though and good that we were up for it physically, didn't get bullied like last time.

[belchardo]

jackson's first tackle on kosta was frigging gold. hilarious stuff.
