Are you drunk again

[belchardo]

I'd like to congratulate sydney for taking the 'fastest conceded goal' lead from us in only 5 days.

[Mark325]

how long are piscopo and goodwin expected to be out for?

Hold My Beer moment incoming

[belchardo]

That's our Jets!

[Jetmaster]

You can tell from the fapping that the over rated Arzani is back in Melbourne.

[belchardo]

Can't you just. Undoubtedly a super-skilled player, but he got absolutely roasted by mauragis just then. Liability anywhere outside the attacking third.

[belchardo]

God I hope this sale goes through before the transfer window. A CB to replace Hoffman has to be the number one priority.

We look ok when we get forward.

[The Dunster]

Nice dive by Aidszani for the free kick that led to the penalty.

[belchardo]

That was some finish.

[The Dunster]

Jenkinson and Hoffman have to go.
Neither of them are worthy of a professional contract anymore.

If we are playing them then why play them out if position.

Jenkinson is too slow to play wide and hoffman has no idea ar CB.

[Jetmaster]

This handball rule now is just stupid.

[anfield]

Hoffman had never played centre back, why now at 34?? Seriously.....

Both hooked at HT.

[The Dunster]

Nice finish by Taylor

[The Dunster]

Bayliss needs his contract torn up.

[Maito Mitch]

Should hook the keeper after the 5th goal. Was he even paying attention when old mate got the ball on halfway

[MFKS]

I hope these Retards put 10 on us

This club is a ****ing joke

The coach is a joke

The players are a joke

Bruno has been finished for two years now at this level and we making him look like he is Erling Haaland FFS

[Jetmaster]

This concerns me more than the lack of a striker. I don't see him up to standard so far.

[MFKS]

VAR ****ing the Jets over against Victory again

Where have I heard that before ??

[Retro Jet]

I hope these Retards put 10 on us

This club is a ****ing joke

The coach is a joke

The players are a joke

Bruno has been finished for two years now at this level and we making him look like he is Erling Haaland FFS

And to think we had that ***k naturalised to play in the Green & Gold.

[Jetmaster]

I give up on this league, I really do.

[Maito Mitch]

Hahahaha at least VAR is worse than us. Holy f**k. What are the rules for anything anymore I dunno

[Mark325]

and then Taylor puts the ball in anyway, should be 5-4 with 15 to go

[plague]

My favourite part of the match was when Hoffman tried to defend Arzarni but he walked past him and set up a goal. So then Hoffman tried to defend Bruno but Bruno scored 3 more goals.

It reminds me a lot of when every team in the league targets Hoffman and they score many goals by doing so.

But i guess we'll never ever work out how to fix that problem.

[MFKS]

Hahahaha at least VAR is worse than us. Holy f**k. What are the rules for anything anymore I dunno

The Issue I have with it is that this is gonna not make any great issues after the game because this game is done n dusted etc

But the ****wit on the VAR needs lynching on two fronts

1 The time it took to come to that decision was a disgrace as it was clear as soon as they looked at it what the outcome was

2 The fact the dumb **** doesn't know the rules so got the decision incorrect

There is no excuse at all for such an incorrect decision. It isn't even close to correct

[Jetmaster]

The young lady on VAR over analysed last season as well.

Needs to be held to account.

And these biased commentary teams......???

[My2BobsWorth]

Refs still don't know arzani is a diving arsehole. Only watched the first half, then turned off, is there a Stanton out fred

[Maito Mitch]

Buhagiar really knows how to miss a goal.

I don't think we've really deserved anything from the game but considering their handball penalty, the VAR debacle not awarding us a goal and some Buhagiar misses, this could've been a much different scoreline

[Jardelsimage]

And these biased commentary teams......???

embarrassingly biased...

[Mark325]

I am impressed that this version of the Jets goes down 4-1, then turned around in the second half and put the ball in the net 3 times. It's a refreshing change of pace from the team that almost always puts their head down and never ends games strong.

Bin Hoff and Jenkinson and this team will be infinitely better. I hope that change alongside Goodwin and Piscopo eventually rejoining the squad will keep us relatively competitive until the potential buyout and hopeful additions to the squad

[MFKS]

So there was a woman on VAR ??

If true says plenty

Maybe we should focus on merit not diversity hires

[anfield]

Jets need an old school centre back. Someone who will command the area, win challenges, bark orders. Basically the opposite of Hoffman.

I would have chased the Swiss centre back that was at Western United for the last 2 years. The guy was a machine.

[Frodo]

I don't think I'll ever understand how someone can walk into the Jets job right now, knowing full well that we will probably lose most weeks, and not realise that all fans want is a bunch of kids trying to improve instead of some old plonkers doing exactly what we know they will do.

[Frodo]

Also, obviously anyone with half a brain can see Hoffman and Jenko are both finished.


Either Cancar and Natta as a back 2 next to Ingham and Mauragis, or add in Wilmering at LCB and move Mauragis further up the pitch.

Anything outside of that next week and Staunton is officially dumb and needs to be pissed off to NPL to fight Scott Millar for the dumb dumb award each year.

[Couscous]

Wrong coach with a weak squad.

[plague]

If youd told me we would have 2 wins, 1 draw (away v Perth) and an away loss to start the season I'd have taken it.

Its not all that bad.

Go the Jets.

[Maito Mitch]

2 wins

Its not all that bad.

Go the Jets.

Top of the league as well. We're gonna do it

hashtagconwasright

[mic22]

Taylor is what this team should be about.
Play and develop young and hungry players.

Hoffmann should never have started a game since 2021 at least.
Hopefully this was the last straw.

VAR decisions were obscene, offside is a pretty basic rule of football.
Hard to think there is no malice when the mistakes are so blatant.

Bring back Reags! At least he will kick some ****er! He couldn't be worse than what we have..could he? Surely there are some NPL cntre backs that could do a better job
