Ticketmaster can get *******!

What was a $15.00 parking ticket is now over $20.00 as they have added a $5.10 "handling fee" - 33% addon for what?

At least I get some exercise in.

[StannyCFCJET]

What is the go with Eli Adams?

[Mark325]

What is the go with Eli Adams?

Hamstring injury, same as Kota but seemingly not as severe

Fully belongs in the 'what grinds my gears' thread.
Ticks me off to no end as well.
I wouldn't mind so much if a human being was handling the transaction.
It's an inanimate computer.
Ticketmaster can *O*D.
People with mobility issues getting screwed over.
:mad:

[My2BobsWorth]

Bit worried about the hype around certain players atm, senior players need to keep everyone focused, and grounded, otherwise we're fukt

[belchardo]

Wow, that was a mad first 8 minutes.

[StannyCFCJET]

This first half sums up why I dont like System managers

[plague]

Copping what they deserve.

Garbage performance.

Game 3 and Milligan has been worked out.

Enjoy the rest of the season.

[plague]

Imagine being outcoached by Ufuk Talay.

[Jeterpool]

Most goals scored. Most goals conceded. At least we're entertaining.

Pathetic tonight

[Jeterpool]

Another week where turnovers and quick counter attacks proved costly.

We need to adjust to have more protection at the back. We're far too exposed with two slow central defenders and Kosta Grozos ambling back

[Jeterpool]

I've looked back across the 3 league matches so far. So many have come from turnovers and counter attack

CCM goal 2 - turnover with a pass from Cooper to Bayliss. Di Pizio scores
VICTORY goal 2 - tackle bypasses midfield and Jelacic exploits space between RCB and RB
Sydney goal 1- Grozos pressed and turnover. Space exploited between RCB and RB
Sydney Goal 2 - turnover with intercepted pass to Badolato. Grozos shows no urgency and 2 v 3 created. Again space with high fullback exploited.
Sydney goal 3 - Susnjar turnover and Toure exploits RB/RCB space with fullback high.

The others were a penalty, the late scramble post penalty miss, turnover from our throw, shot post a parried save

The high line leaves us incredibly exposed when we turn it over cheaply in the centre of the park. The approach each time was our 2 CB and holder are matched and pressed by opposition front 3. CCM, Victory and Sydney all did it and each time they brought success.

We need to solve this problem

[ForeverRed]

We need a keeper

[Jeterpool]

We need a keeper

This too. Apparently broadcast said Noah James is back in full training and fully fit. If he's not back for Roar maybe for Perth after international break. I hope he fares better. I've got little trust in Delianov

[My2BobsWorth]

We're fukt!

[anfield]

Too many passengers over the whole field yesterday. Without the ball Sydney were very dominant especially in the second half. We didn't appear to get enough numbers forward and Gibson just got swamped in the second half. The space in the channel between RCB and RB was exploited Toure and then Wood profited from just getting into space in that area.

[Jetmaster]

I think the issues are obvious and well covered here. We will score goals but need to stop them as well to have a top half finish.

Every team will have identified that a turnover and quick break will more than likely get a goal.

[ForeverRed]

Sadly Noah james isn?t the answer, he had a go last year and cost us two games before he was sent packing, what is it with keepers parrying everything, crazy stuff

Milligan seems to like the Ange way. Would need to change his system or adapt it to protect us more

[Jeterpool]

Maybe not, but i'd prefer him over Delianov

Let's be honest, keeping in this league is at a low standard at the moment. None of them look convincing, none of them can catch.

[My2BobsWorth]

They can ditch that close passing bullshit too, save it for the training paddock, it looked so pathetic when they tried to look clever and gave it away for a goal. Also we might not loose so many games if the backs stayed back. It's in the name, simple

[Jetmaster]

That's why I am not over critical of the CBs. They were left hopelessly exposed.

[380]

Time to move Grozos on in January, Very average footballer.

Just saying to my son he is not a good footballer.

[R Ramjet]

I'm still trying to work out which was worse.
Our performance or the paper planes !

[Jeterpool]

Didn't notice it mentioned, but seems Fryer is out for the season with a knee injury. I think I read ACL.

If it is, not sure if it's the same leg or not. Poor kid....another long road ahead of him.

Different knee to previous, no replacement allowed as players only on $300,000 are allowed replacements

Terrible news for sure.

I thought the crowd would have been bigger on Saturday and pushed 10,000. Interesting to know if the Country music show in Newcastle got a higher attendance?

[Jetmaster]

Crowds are what they are - other things on, storms around, live streaming, general apathy. It's not what it was - MV brought nobody and even SFC didn't bring as many as they used to so it isn't just us. Credit to us for the Mariners turnout.

I don't think it needs to be hyped up much, unless we are seriously up there I doubt we will crack 10,000. Remember too, alot of damage has been done to the brand and the community needs to rebuild trust with the club.

Slowly increasing average attendance post-COVID recovery.

Very cyclical and appears to ebb and flow pre and post World Cup years maybe but definitely a slow and steady rise since Covid.

[My2BobsWorth]

I went to every game in the covid years, haven't been since, and as JM says, a lot of damage has been done to the club/member relationship. They don't seem to be doing much to repair it

[StannyCFCJET]

The days of consistent 10k+ crowds at Jets games are done. Accept it as a club and work towards upgrading a smaller local stadium and move there

[The Dunster]

People with young families are probably prioritising paying bills and the mortgage over watching jets wing backs failing to track back to defend. or midfielders gifting possession to the opposition then watching the slowest Centre back in the league get burned for pace by any forward with at least one good leg.
