I actually think he has been at 50% since the away victory over Brissy. I think he has realised nothing short of a miracle will see him unemployed be seasons end and.

I just am very cynical of anything both the papers/journos or the club' pr dept. produce.
Looks like it could be Zane who steps up.

Club has taken the cheap option by shuffling the decks around. No new employees so the payout doesn't affect anything.
Zane to Coach.
Bridges as Assistant/Player (its like an All Age Team set up)
Deans to Youth
FFS Bridges if you're going to be Assistant do the right thing and retire from playing. Other then that I have no dramas with this, should be interesting to see how Zane goes.
Also no problems with GVE as Technical Director of the emerging jets program, how ever I'm not sure about Deans having the youth team.
The way this appears to have been done with no one new being employed. If bridges were to retire, I couldn't see the club filling the space.
The whole Player/Assistant Coach thing is a bit of a stretch though. Do one or the other, surely there is a conflict doing both. That aside I have no issues with Bridges as Assistant. Jury is out for me on Zane being appointed.
Because I'm a complete ****ing idiot I will keep turning up to support the Jets regardless of who the coach is. If I had the slightest bit of intelligence, I would have walked at the end of season three.
That being said, if Clayton Zane is handed the Reins I'll be posting regularly in the Zane Out thread.
I never thought I would be saying this but -- why not Deans as caretaker?
Zane has been less than impressive with the youth team from all reports (MFKS plz correct me if I'm wrong), and didn't he coach the W-League Galacticos team (with Barbieri, De Vanna, van Egmond, German chick etc.) to a disappointing 5th place which effectively destroyed our entire W-League outfit?
Probably being harsh but the move doesn't strike me with a great deal of confidence.
Actually I've had a change of heart. No to Bridges for Assistant if Bridges is Assistant then that means we won't get Ljubo.
isn't deans just a yes boy to GVE anyway, i think a fresh word from Zane might be the kick start the team need.
i think it would be better though if they went and got someone new like okon, milicic or papas right away though so they can have this season and the off season to start changing things for the better.
Confirmation it's been done. Source - Jets twitter
Mutual termination of contract as Jets head coach effective immediately.
Deans isn't exactly associated with GVE though. He was kind of a club-assigned staffy who just got put on whichever coach came in.
I think it's a pretty big statement by the club if they were to appoint Zane as caretaker as opposed to Deans. Deans has had the chances/experiences to warrant that caretaker job at the very least (he's statistically the most successful coach in HAL history with a 66.67% win record). The lack of faith shown to him by the club is huge here - wouldn't be surprised if he moved on tbh.
Just Announced - Clacka is the new coach. I'm not sure about this move - Will he have the support of the players? Can't be any worse i guess, but doesn't have a super record as a youth or W-League coach.
I heard that GVE had finally lost the support of a few senior players.
change the thread title.
Yeah, TWG has it that "Youth team coach Clayton Zane is expected to be given the reins on an interim basis till the end of the season until a long-term replacement is found."
It does seem odd that he would be given the interim job over Deans.. Not sure how I feel about Clacka at the helm..
let's see what 'inZane in the membrane' can do
I wonder if we will see a jump in the membership tally?
signing up for a membership now - where are your seats baz?
As for Zane as far as I am concerned the jury is still out on him.
Jets Yoof in the NBN went down hill after he took after from Pappas in not just quality of play but results.
Last years NBN was a disaster except for the fact we blooded a pile of young blokes.
Our results in the NYL are nothing to fap about either when you consider these blokes are together all year against other teams who congregate just for the NYL
As for his coaching well he has more of an idea on implementing the GVE way of play than Gary did so that's a positive.
That also being said I feel a great coach who was a former player should get good results from his players who play the role he used to play back in the day. On that note Kale has regressed in the last 12 months under Zane.
That being said Zane always picks Kale despite his indifferent form and rarely hooks him so obviously has some love for the bloke.
I am not convinced he is the man for the job but will give him the support to take the opportunity. Bloke pairs Kale and Griffo together this weekend against the Scum then I am calling for a statue for the bloke though

I felt a tribute was necessary
