Story on Mark Jones and his daughter
NBN - Bert says no Burns

I'd rather Dimi than Burns. Dimi is still improving, more versatile, and has a killer shot on him as well.
We just need away for Brown to not play anymore gamesQuote:

No it doesn't. And anyway, you should support local journalism or it won't exist. Even Bob Dillon deserves a job.Quote:

Merrick talking up the signing of Roy which is interesting because Roy signed before Ernie, didn't he?
Regardless, two of the best we have had here in a long time!
I think he technically got signed after jones got sacked, but before merrick got signed. Realistically it was more Jones signing then merricksQuote:

Much like when Miller was dismissed and people were making similar comparisons with Jones (i.e. How would Miller have HIS team performing?), the fans making these points need to move on.Quote:

Last season we had a dip before the strong middle part of the season so the challenges over Jones' appointment when compared to Miller was a more relevant discussion. Additionally, Miller was popular and had started to take us ahead from where Stubbins left us - Jones had taken us back to the wooden spoon.
What interests me greatly if we allow ourselves to forget squad additions etc is what each coach got out of the existing squad that is directly comparable.
Under Merrick, I see Kanta & Vujica in particular as reaching way bigger heights than they did under Jones. Particularly Vujica - and Merrick has spoken publicly about how he viewed his previous performances as opposed to what he wanted output-wise from him. It feels like Merrick has coached Vujica into a more suitable style and mentality for our system, and so far he has been thriving from it.
Inversely under Jones we had a fair amount of reliance at times on Jackson, Johnny K, Cowburn & to an extent Clut and none of those three currently look barely on the radar of replicating their previous form either due to not being given enough chance or not good enough for our setup now. And definitely Clut but also to an extent Johnny K look almost ostracised by Merrick. Let's not forget Jackson, Cowburn & Clut were all part of Gombau's Olyroos too.
So that makes me wonder in Lowey's fantasy land where Jones gets the same squad additions that Merrick has gotten, how differently those half a dozen above mentioned squad players would and wouldn't be used.
Bigger issue is 2 of those coaches played conservative (defensive) football, the other is way more flamboyant.
Signings or no signings Merrick ‘style’ is much more fan friendly and would be coaching it no matter who was wearing the shirt.
Also Miller kept publicly throwing his players under the bus. That’s just a terrible way to coach. I don’t wanna see or hear any of that shit.
To Miller's defence the players didn't TECHNICALLY have the right MENTALITY to perform TACHTICALLY on the pitch.Quote:

We should petition Nuatali for replica cinnamon and emerald City of Newcastle flags with the crest to sell at MJ Stadium home matches.
Herald (suddenly Dillon wants to write about the Jets now)

Lowedown
http://www.theherald.com.au/story/50...m-start/?cs=12
firstly as always cheers to Turbo for posting these articles.
but
can someone explain to me what exactly we are reading from 'Lowey'?
He basically just gives the same hackneyed point form rundown from the weekend, except by the time its 'news', the cliched drivel has already been spouted out on TV, in print and online for days.
where in these columns is he offering any sort of original thinking?
here are his revelations:
- No one thought the Jets would be this good.
- Merrick has an attacking philosophy
- Sydney will be a difficult game
ok cheers Captain Obvious.
although congrats to the bloke on getting paid to run this racket. ill never knock a bloke for getting that cash.
Hmmm, really saying why do we have journalism degrees or even journos at all when anyone anytime can put a known piece together 24/7 online.Quote:
