Was playing for Adelaide's youth team. With the promise he is showing I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up back there and in the first team picture for next season.Quote:

I would re-sign them. I wouldn't let them resign.Quote:

Depends exactly what Ledman has in store for the club.
If we are going to continue down the path of running the club on the smell of an oily rag then sign him up now.
If we are actually going to show some ambition then we have to say no.
Project players are not needed for a side trying to get to the business end of the ladder
Ready made players for the here and now are required
Wasn't there a suggestion that he has some deal to return to Adelaide? not sure how or if that could workQuote:

To me we can not afford to carry him and Boogaard going forward. One of them has to go and it is him that has their contract up first
he's experience, solid and I don't consider he dives in, he has made some crucial tackles and clean ones at that, isn't that what a defender is supposed to do? just cos a ref gives you a red card when it was actually the other guy (Bozanic?) who committed the foul doesn't mean you're at fault, it just means we have sh*t refs in this league...Quote:

**** Mullen off.
Keep the kid. You need a mixture of youth and experience, regardless of what Jared says.
Good for him. Hopefully his retirement goes well.Quote:

Maybe football, whether playing injured or not, is fulfilling to him? I know many people including myself who continue to play with ongoing injuries. This is a choice that we manage. The positives far outweigh the negatives of sitting wondering "what if"Quote:

He gets paid great coin and would have better medical cover than you and i could ever have. I think he would be stupid not convince some chump of a club to resign him... which will definitely be us. I would put good money on us resigning him at season's end. Facebook fans will be overjoyed.Quote:

Totally agree. Four knee ops in 6 years on the same year and he's only 24, similar to Jobe in that he has probably never played a full season in his entire career due to injuries. Cowburn would be cheaper to keep and plus you are getting more bang for your buck with a more resilient player not someone who invariably gets injured every season.Quote:

Im pretty sure Jones has some sort of Gentlemans agreement with adelaide, that JK will return there next season and that we wont make him an offer.Quote:

There was also some other Tall young lad training that I do not know
Also surely the club would look at making someone like Curtis Good a priority, he needs First team football, we can give that to him.
Vujica, Good, Boogs, Cowburn
Not a bad back 4
Was just on NBN, I believe his name Is Harrison Sawyer from Roar youth. No mention of why he was training with the team. Will just say if this is the calibre of player (a youth player) we are looking at in the Jan transfer window then this club is finished for me!Quote:

From one of the herald stories above.... two things:Quote:
And with consecutive home games against Adelaide and Wellington Phoenix (Boxing Day), the Jets are well positioned to begin the new year in the top six.
1. We will lose miserably to both.
2. Even if we win, we don't deserve to be in semi final positions after our season so far. Top 6 in a 10 team comp is a joke!
Good on the club to bring them all down instead of sending a player or two to the school! Best of luck to Saxon - my bet is he'll always remembers.Quote:

Hasn't he played like two games in 5 years due to injuries? We'd be better with Spira.Quote:

Makes sense to me. Duncan needs another keeper to put pressure on him. He is getting too comfortable and that sure affects concentration......maybe not Covic...:wink:Quote:
