[plague]

Thumped.
3 players get season ending injuries.
Middleby unmasked as a double agent, admitting that there is no such thing as an 'undisclosed fee'.
We get kicked out of the comp and replaced in the finals by Wanderers, who go on to face Sydney in the GF and everyone is happy because DERBY!!!!!

[hawk]

So who's the cheating ref this week.

[Jeterpool]

Find out Thursday arvo

[380]

Surely we couldn't get " Beathed " two weeks in a row FFS.

[boz-monaut]

loose

we're three losses in a row

we are going to lose the next four in a row and go straight out of the finals

fold the club

[q-money]

we back!!!

[Jetmaster]

Hoole hat trick...BK pen save....Dimi does ACL....Gosford Hotel serves mid strength to keep the peace.

End of days.

[Hunter403]

Gypos park caravans across entry to ground. Jets lose by forfeit.

[turbojetfireV8]

we need to take out our frustrations on the gyppos, anything less than kicking em out of the park is unacceptable etc

[Frodo]

we need to take out our frustrations on the gyppos, anything less than kicking em out of the park is unacceptable etc

Us or the players?

[Frodo]

Saw Jack Duncan at that Burlesque show in at Civic park last night.

Firstly, his missus is pretty fit... Well done Dunco.

Secondly, all that gyrating and sexy dancing will have awoken something in him I bet. 100% chance of a Clean sheet from him this weekend, he will be keen to get a firm grip on those balls for the next week or so.


1-0 win with a Josh Rose Own Goal.

[Jeterpool]

So who's the cheating ref this week.

Jarred Gillett for the 5th time this year

[Jeterpool]

After listening to the Merrick press conference I thought he was going to make quie a few changes for this game. I was thinking at least Cowburn, Vargas (due to injury), Vujica and possibly McGree would be looking over their shoulder.

But as the week has gone on, is anyone else sensing there will be just 2 changes - Pato for Vargas due to injury and Gorgeous George for Vujica due to return from suspension?

If so, I'm concerned. We still lack pace. Personally I'd be throwing someone quick like Champness up against Rose to tear him a new one in his last game.

Anyone agree?

I'm concerned if he plays Cowburn again in the middle. He may think he's a mid but at this level I believe he's a backup RB at best.

[Jeterpool]

I'm concerned if he plays Cowburn again in the middle. He may think he's a mid but at this level I believe he's a backup RB at best.

I think he's a right back as well. Hoff thought he was a striker, always played striker in his youth. Where is he getting a run now?

I share your concerns.

I'm thinking we'd be best keeping Vujica at left back, moving george to right back, putting Mcgree in the mids and putting either Hoff or Champness on the wing where Mcgree usually is. Bring Pato on for Vargas, either on the wing or at Cam

Vujica cannot play, all coaches are aware of his pace and have exploited it since he has been reinstated

[The Dunster]

Champness was injured at training yesterday. Is he ok / available?

[Jeterpool]

Champness was injured at training yesterday. Is he ok / available?

:shock:

[belchardo]

Champness was injured at training yesterday. Is he ok / available?

jesus. didn't think we had anymore wheels on this bus to fall off!

[Jeterpool]

Champness was injured at training yesterday. Is he ok / available?

Where was this reported?

[StannyCFCJET]

Where was this reported?

Channel 9

[Jeterpool]

James Gardiner replied to my tweet. Joey trained today and JG suggests he is expected to start on left wing v Mariners.

[plague]

Vujica cannot play, all coaches are aware of his pace and have exploited it since he has been reinstated

Yeah this seems like a very measured and thoughtful statement backed entirely by fact and not just someone's opinion.

[StannyCFCJET]

Did ok early season

[leftrightout]

Did ok early season

Been very poor lately... but so have others.

Id play hoff and georgie at back
And

Pato Dimi Joey
Roy

[StannyCFCJET]

Agreed but has lacked pace all season and was good early season. All his troubles are on vujica I reckon

[turbojetfireV8]

Johnny to start according to the Jets FB page, finally....

[MonkeyKplunk]

Looks to be Johnny at RB, Hoffman playing midfield

[belchardo]

this is just magic.

[boz-monaut]

this is turning out better than expected

[boz-monaut]

so bel, how much do you not regret going to the game?

[belchardo]

a little, but the turnaround to be back in canberra for a 6:30am marathon start would have been a bit of a killer!

[Retro Jet]

so bel, how much do you not regret going to the game?

F**k the miracle of Brisbane...this is gold!
:brrr:

[MonkeyKplunk]

It might just be 25 mins in but can we all just delight in the player that is Johnny K.
If only Ernie paid attention to the foz earlier

[westjet]

Hope the order of wooden spoons makes Europe in time!

[plague]

Well well well, Johnny K in, 3 goals to the good

I either need to be head coach or a guest on this podcast because I see things others refuse to admit.

[westjet]

Is the 5-1 from this season our highest score vs Mariners? Would love to give them the spoon by a record score.

[belchardo]

concentrate you peckerheads!

[boz-monaut]

we still can let this slip from here, we're more than capable

[Hunter403]

There goes Kantas hammy

[westjet]

Did kanta just injure himself?

[Hunter403]

Yep, thoughr so. Lucky we have a week off

[Frodo]

Riley Mcgree isn't that great a footballer. Not worth chasing him hard in the offseason. He is a tidy player and if wants to play for us on normal coin I'd love to keep him, but he's not an upgrade on Uga and Kanta.

[Hunter403]

Did kanta just injure himself?

Trying to keep pce with Connor Pain. Couldn't match him and pulled up holding hais hammy

[The Dunster]

Johhny k is being targeted by mariners.
Gillet targeting the other 10 Jets players.

[Retro Jet]

Errr....Foole's hair :wtf:

[Frodo]

Errr....Foole's hair :wtf:

I was just thinking he definitely looks like he lives in a caravan these days.

[Jetmaster]

Need to be careful here....another Scum goal will be bad. Dimi needs to lift like the others.

[Hunter403]

BK at his best!

[Frodo]

Riley Mcgree isn't that great a footballer. Not worth chasing him hard in the offseason. He is a tidy player and if wants to play for us on normal coin I'd love to keep him, but he's not an upgrade on Uga and Kanta.

Who comes up with this s#!t... Haha.

[halo se7en]

Another player scoring on his derby debut! And a brace at that... what odds for another hat-trick????

[Frodo]

Mariners getting Fingered all over the park here, lol.

[The Dunster]

Riley Mcgree isn't that great a footballer.

:blush:

[weston]

Now I've only been watching since half time and I've seen the goals on fox sports match centre.

But this is the best game I've seen Kennedy play for the Jets. Absolute outstanding effort.

[Hunter403]

Agent Kennedy or is he just proving that he always was the worst keepernin A League history?

Nah, that Wellington keeper is worse

[Retro Jet]

Now I've only been watching since half time and I've seen the goals on fox sports match centre.

Agent Kennedy you mean.

1-5...where it all started.

[Frodo]

Lawrie in the stands is pretty funny to watch.

The Fox boys are loving it.

[Hunter403]

Mulvey looks shit scared!

[Retro Jet]

Wellington owe us a win over there for this...

[boz-monaut]

I was cross with you when you wrote this but now I think you're a genius

[halo se7en]

LOL this is ****ing hilarious. I almost don't even care what happens after tonight. *7-1.

If anyone said at the start of the season that we'd beat the scum 5-1 and *7-1 at home, the second game to give them the spoon, you'd lock them up at James Fletcher.

*Game isn't even over yet.

[plague]

nothing has made me happier this season than seeing that absolute shit**** Josh Rose walk off with the scoreboard going bananas.
**** Josh Rose.
**** the Gypos.
and **** Lawrie McKinna.

[plague]

our only hope in the semis is that whatever team we are playing signs Josh Rose so the Jets aim up knowing how much of a shit**** he is.

[halo se7en]

Only marginally behind is watching Hoole... his whole season has been like that slow-mo of Ralph during the Valentines episode of the Simpsons.

[boz-monaut]

if they score one every two minutes they can win this

[boz-monaut]

ten goal thriller!!!!

[evolution]

Wtf am I even watching? :rof::rof:

[westjet]

This is so good to watch. Pato just taking the absolute piss on top of it is amazing.

[Frodo]

"if you haven't kicked a corner flag into the crowd you haven't lived" well said Ned, well said.

[Retro Jet]

Yep...the Miracle of Scumsford.
and a SPOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN to boot.

[plague]

Riley Mcgree isn't that great a footballer. Not worth chasing him hard in the offseason. He is a tidy player and if wants to play for us on normal coin I'd love to keep him, but he's not an upgrade on Uga and Kanta.

[westjet]

When your thrashing a team like this isnt it time to give your keeper a run at striker.

[Frodo]

Mossy upfront.

[plague]

Only marginally behind is watching Hoole... his whole season has been like that slow-mo of Ralph during the Valentines episode of the Simpsons.

valid point, but this was the last chance to embarrass that turd.
we've got plenty of time to go over to Europe and remind Hoole.

[boz-monaut]

When your thrashing a team like this isnt it time to give your keeper a run at striker.

I'm with you on that

we should be taking the piss out of them - subbing the keeper off or just casually walking off the field to chat up birds in the crowd

[plague]

didnt we just bring the 3rd string goalie on for a run up front?
who is this Thurgate brother?

[Hunter403]

I thought the 5-1 win was the second best day of my football life but this has passed that.

The only thing missing from tonight is The Member going off on the foz. That would likely bring gold plated commentary

[plague]

hahahahahah ref was gonna give them a charity spotty at the end there then he was all like "nah **** yas".

top man that ref.

[Retro Jet]

I can hardly wait for the pressers.

[Hunter403]

Oh what a night!!!!!!!

[Retro Jet]

Ffs...some nerd on here GIF that corner flag kick. Please!!!

[MonkeyKplunk]

What a weekend!
Now to hope the Wandering flogs lose tomorrow and get knocked put of the 6 too

[The Dunster]

This is our best lineup. Will be a tough decision but I think Vargas needs to be ommitted in favour of fitter / faster options.

[Hunter403]

Where is the Member? Let him loose tonight!

[MonkeyKplunk]

This is our best lineup. Will be a tough decision but I think Vargas needs to be ommitted in favour of fitter / faster options.

That's our best starting lineup
Replace Cowburn with Vargas on the bench.

[plague]

Where is the Member?

I enjoyed going to tonight's game.

[belchardo]

ernie is gold. not a single smile all night during the game.

[The Hacker]

I've woken up and it wasn't a dream

[Retro Jet]

I'd like to think that this game has taken some of the shine off Sh!tney and that plate presentation. This ultimate round will be remembered for our record game and not their award.

[Jetmaster]

Felt just a little sorry for Rose tbh....that tribute video and presention should have been before the game when his fans were up for it. Most Coasties had left by the end and our guys and fans were itching to celebrate.

Also enjoying Coastie burn on other sites like Whirlpool. They reckon BK threw the game.

Great comment from Grim...."its BK doing BK things".

[Couscous]

This may be an unpopular view, but does anyone else think we didn't play that well last night? Letting in those two goals, for starters. And the Mariners defence was truly awful.

there were some long periods where they had control.

mods please give JM a chance to go wash himself and ask Griff for forgiveness but if he refuses to repent please unleash the full fury of your arsenal on him.

cant have this.

[Grimario]

Great comment from Grim...."its BK doing BK things".

In his defense, he apparently broke or dislocated a finger on the second or third goal.

[The Dunster]

This may be an unpopular view, but does anyone else think we didn't play that well last night? Letting in those two goals, for starters. And the Mariners defence was truly awful.

We play an open attack minded style of football so we are always going to be susceptible to the odd goal.
But we also give ourselves plenty of opportunities to score goals as well.
The jets have had two great seasons - Season 2 and the current season.
I'd like to win the grand final but if we don't it doesn't worry me - as long as we keep playing exciting football.
The teams record this year speaks for itself - to beat us you need to score two goals or more - that's pressure on the opposition - not us.

[Mark325]

I felt sorry for BK last night, he’s a top bloke and it was a shame to see him essentially get embarrassed last night.

Johnny K coming into the team made an instant change, he’s an quality young footballer and should’ve been getting a look in over cowburn the past two games. No Vargas also allowed us to be more mobile, and Pato lately has been doing more running then he was at the start of his run with us. Ending this season I’d be happier keeping Pato over Vargas

I'd say Vargas is finished as a marquee player - he's just not suitable to our style of game until the fitness / speed comes back.

[furns]

Reading the derby thread on their foz is a literal timeline of the 7 stages of grief. It's also a mirror of what we experienced since season 4, so it's pretty easy to see that unless their ownership changes hands or Charlesworth finds money down the back of the sofa they are headed for more of the same regardless of who's appointed as coach.

I read it too hoping for some gems but they were too realistic. There was a serious post about checking BK’s betting accounts because he’d obviously thrown the game, but even then the other posters sensibly decided most goals weren’t on him at all. Wasn’t much fun at all.

why would those broke ass gypo pricks be worried about their keeper who just happens to share the same name as a Newy ledge but is in no way related to or even look like our bloke?

stupid gypos.
