I think you're looking at these guys with the wrong perspective. They can do well against teams for 20 mins, after the other team has tired but for years have proven to not be good enough to start for their respective teams. We don't need bench players. We need definite improvement of the starting 11.

I'd say we can turn over a maximum of 4-5 players without effectively starting again next year. (i.e. wasting all the improvement we may or may not have made this year depending on your view.)

Left back, 1 CM, 2 attackers. This would be an easy way of not disrupting the team dynamics but still improving across the park. Then, only if we find real quality, we replace Mullen or another midfielder.

We don't deserve to have Song back.

What a ledge.

You could use a sun dial to clock him over 100 metres.

Brennan back in.
Was he in last week? I didn't look...

Us slow runners need to stick together.

Stanny - if you're referring to Kanta as one of those CDMs, don't forget he can fill in basically anywhere in the backline plus CAM earlier in the season. Arguably our most versatile player, particularly of bench level.

RIP and I 100% agree im guessing he trains really well so miller keeps picking him. Only explanation

Without Jackson on the bench and Cowburm starting, we need both Kanta and Watson also on the bench. Doesn't mean both make the field.

I think Brennan may get a run this week

get rid of Watson flood bench with attacking players Cooper brennan kitto crowley and BK go for broke

Kanta comes on for a DM, as happens every every week. Watson is there only for insurance and comes on for any injury to the back 6 defensive players with s reshuffle.

Cooper and Brennan/Kitto are the attacking subs

Kanta will be filling in for Mullen.

Watson will be on the bench.

/argument

Lets hope Watson stays on the bench for the full 90 + injury time.

Better still hope he gets lost on the way to the stadium.

Looks like there will be little transfer activity until ffa find new owners.
Meanwhile all other A league teams can sign and prepare for next season.

With the youth team having a decent season, 2nd in group. Which players should be looked at for senior side?

Big raps are on lundt?
Tom whiteside?
Ben hay?

Dont know much about them, any reports?

Lundy that is

Lundy played 3 out of the 8 games and already has a senior contract which will expire this year after 2 years I can not see the Jets keeping him he will be moved on?? Tom Whiteside has been let go as too old for upcoming NPL for the youth and not offered anything from the senior side assuming he has gone back to Sydney where he was from. Ben Hay is playing with Jaffas. I would not read too much into the Jets Youth coming 2nd in a 5 team comp over 8 rounds with very inconsistent teams fielded, Sydney and Newcastle playing week in week out several senior contracted players whilst WSW mainly played youth players throughout the comp and Centre of Excellance AIS are 15 16 17 year olds and Central Coast had a few games where they brought back senior contracted players but predominately played a youth side.

Possibly huge clean outs on the way.

Would we want any?

Would they want any of ours?

Discuss.

Many of those players are fringe players at their teams and I don't see them as being anything better than what we have here.

Naumoff would be a good addition. He's got potential to be a solid player.

I said a few weeks ago that I'd have a run at Finkler ahead of Leo.

For once I think we are covered at CB options. Thomas would be a handy back up if Birighitti leaves and we decide to promote Kennedy again.
