We will jut up the contracts of Kanta and BK. Nothing to see here......Quote:

ill give him the benefit of the doubt.
There are a few performances that suggest otherwise...
rofl. Miller had less doing better. Anyway Jones is a genius, cause he tells us.Quote:

Lee needs to start using every concession he can, doesn't have to be a 2 mill a season Marquee, but the little work arounds outside the Cap that are available will allow more quality players to be signed within the Salary Cap.
All this will do is help the Smurfs Wankers Heart Victree get better marquees and fit more players under the capQuote:

Smurfs and Heart aren't exactly well run clubs. They just achieving success based on wealthy owners funding them.
All this new system does is help them get further ahead.
It doing nothing for Gypos and Phoenix. Like what an extra couple hundred grand going to do when the Gypos ain't interested in spending the full salary cap now??
Smeltz to Wello. We should thank them for saving us.
He will score 4 against us, they will be his only 4 of the year but you just watch!Quote:

Under the current system regional clubs are essentially bidding for the players the bigger clubs rejected. Moreover, they are not only buying weaker players - they are also forced to pay too much for them.
By removing restrictions on foreign players the supply increases and all else equal the price must fall for a given standard of player.
Completely unrelated, but this from the abc app.... Regions cheaper than capital cities
The cheapest beer cost just $1.39 per 100ml at Hunter Stadium in Newcastle, followed by Canberra's Manuka Stadium at $1.46.
The most expensive place to buy a drink was Perth's Subiaco Oval at $2.42 per 100ml, followed by Adelaide Oval at $2.09.
Thought you all might like to smash that up a bit. Ta
Is that because Adelaide and Perth actually serves beer and we serve beer coloured soft drink?
The cost isn't relevant unless the products are identical.
Well given the beer at hunter is piss, you can read the story and see that around the country and compared to overseas we are paying too much for shitty crap beer. Just sayin.
Here is the link...

The problem of selling mid strength to calm down the "riff raff" is discussed. There are links to other articles too...most interesting.
It's worse than that. When Schooners were less than a $1 I had no troubles picking up hot women between 18 and 25 years old. At current prices no female under 50 will even look at me let alone get naked for me. Hence, as beer prices have increased it appears that women have got a lot fussier about who they have sex with. It's a national disgrace and yet what is the FFA or the government doing about it ? Absolutely nothing.Quote:

My favourite bit about Janjetovic moving is the SFC fans going into meltdown and calling him Judas. He was a starting calibre keeper last year, why shouldn't he want to play first team football? And it's not like any other club has a massive gap at GK they need to fill.

If we want to win the ACL, the HAL or even finish in the top 3 then we need a proper first team keeper.
Janjetovic would be a step up, but I don't buy into his hype as much as others. In saying that he's good enough for the no.1 position in the HAL.

Janjetovic is a prime example of the drop in standard of HAL keeping for the last 3-4 years. Either young guys are getting dropped too easily or teams are screaming for 'experience' no matter what that 'experience' was prior to joining a team.
Duncan isn't good enough yet to play for the socceroos but he is doing well enough to not need to panic yet. He is young enough to fix some weaknesses in his game so rather than spending money we don't have on an area that isn't costing us points every week we should probably sit on our hands and pray to Zizou that he doesn't get injured.
Smelly sure to kick the living crap out of JD's face, Janjetovic in.
Why in ****sname are you advocating we replace Duncan for making a mistake with a bloke who punched the ball into his own net in front of the Cove in a Sydney derby???Quote:

Couple of mistakes, yes, but every player makes them.
For now he has earnt the spot and the right for a decent chance. If he was to be replaced it would have to be by a keeper well above any currently in the a-league otherwise I don't see the point. Duncan will only get better with more game time.
Herald half-time - including Lowey's thoughts on what fit of player we should be looking for in the window:

Holy hell. Now IMO JD is a fine keeper and one of the best performed in the league this year, but thats just my opinion and you have yours.Quote:

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but the club raised what they were doing in the last Members Advisory Group meeting. I'm aware of some members giving up their time on the day to volunteer and assist.
This is a real positive contribution to the community, and in my opinion, another sign we are getting things right off the pitch. It's great to see the club giving something back and allow those who are less fortunate or not necessarily able to get a Christmas lunch to have a meal.
We smash the club for a lot of things they do wrong, so it's only fair they get some kudos when they do something very very right. Well done to those who are on board.
Quote:
Newcastle Jets will show the spirit of Christmas this Boxing Day when the Club hosts a free luncheon for approximately 350 people involved with local groups at its Summer of Football double-header at McDonald Jones Stadium. Clients from community, charitable, and Indigenous organisations including Compass Housing, The Big Issue, Samaritans, Life Without Barriers, Variety, OzHarvest, Awabakal, and Bungaree will join the Jets for its clashes against Western Sydney Wanderers in the Westfield W-League and Wellington Phoenix in the Hyundai A-League.
With support from Greater Bank, Inspirations Paint, Bibina, Northern NSW Football, McDonald Jones Stadium, Gema Group, and Coca-Cola the Jets will provide free admission to the games for all of the participants plus a complimentary barbecue lunch.
The groups will also receive a visit to the Stadium tunnel and warm-up areas, and experience a meet and greet with some of the Club’s Hyundai A-League squad members. Moreover, each participant will receive a complimentary Christmas gift bag to take home from the double-header.
Newcastle Jets Chief Executive Officer, Lawrie McKinna, said the Club wanted to use the festive season to make a contribution to the community through football.
“The collective efforts of numerous people and organisations have helped bring this concept to life,” McKinna said.
“Originally we envisaged that we might be able to do something for about 200 people, but the response from the community, charitable and Indigenous organisations we’re in touch with has been overwhelming, while the support from our network of partners has enabled us to grow the idea.”
“Hopefully this day will help brighten the Christmas of all the participants and we can make it an annual event on the Newcastle Jets’ community calendar.”
