we have a habbit of not marking properly for crosses and corners so maybe they feel that more bodies in the box will stop opposition runs and allow us to get to the ball first

You can forget Finkler, just signed multi year deal with the Nix
Apart from his free kicks, I don't rate Stinkler at all..
if triff doesn't start and we put in another solid performance
that would pretty much put him on the plane home
Seen on Facebook that Leo has come to terms with leaving. He posted something about having 3 weeks left in Australia and then it back to Netherlands, Rotterdam.
Nice to see his confident we won't make the 6.

Interesting comments about fringe players.
Agree. It happens in all sorts of sports.

This bloke was one of the best Australia has ever seen and yet in training he wouldn't have beaten a pit pony. On game / race day though he was the best in the world.
So if you are a coach you are going to select the players that show you nothing in training?
Watson started the season in the first XI and his performances have seen him drop out of the team. He benefits from our formation including 2 players in his position. The 3 fringe players in the article have plenty of competition for their position, who are playing well enough to hold their spots, and clearly don't do enough in training.
As long as the sun rises and falls, there will be people on this forum banging the drum for players that have never actually been seen play. Because the myth must surely be better than what trots out for the Jets each week.
It's the coaches job to get all players improving and pushing for a spot
Take Lundy for example kills it in NYL
Then can't get a run in the HAL when we are going shit
To make matters worse they then rub him out of NYL as he is wanted for HAL then don't even play him
Who the **** is to blame for that other than the coaching staff???
Actually I find it refreshing to have a coach speak the truth instead I leading kids on that were poorly recruited from previous staff. I have watched them all over a few years play including Themba who has left with a year still to go on his contract except Brennan which I have watched this year in youth only and shake my head, who picks these players, I thought it was just me. I can see why they are having issues with recruiting and retaining players at youth level.
Not sure if there is any logic here?
So a player kills it in an inferior league/division so he therefore must be automatic selection over a player, playing in a higher grade, whom is competing/playing well in that position?
Lundy was given a chance against Sydney, someone pull up his stats for that game will prob reveal to you the extent of why he has not been I ncluded since..
We should always put out our strongest 11. Hence why Birraz was put back in as soon as medically fit. Lundy, Brennan and co.. Are not in our strongest 11
So if the coaches take him out of football by not playing him in the Yoof or the HAL side and stop him playing at all where is the logic in that??
If he is doing well in the Yoof and getting close to a HAL spot you either pick him in the HAL side or you leave him in the Yoof to keep putting performances in
That is logic
You don't take him out of playing like the coaching department has done
Also if you write a young kid off after one appearance as a sub you ain't showing any logic whatsoever either
I'd rather sit on the A-league bench than play NYL every week. And so would a lot of these kids as well given the the choice.
I would suggest Miller has seen enough of Lundy,Pavacevic and Brennan to decide they aren't up to A-League standard.
Just because most haven't sighted them doesn't mean that Miller hasn't seen enough to make that assessment.
Any of you lads go to watch training?
State League and the NYL competitions are nowhere near the quality on offer in the A-league. Hence form in these lesser rated competitions means SFA at the A-league level.
Brown, Minnecon, Rooney, and Kale [to a lesser extent] completely dominated NYL yet at A-League level they were not able to produce the required form on a weekly basis.
Watson like it or not is way ahead of any of these NYL players - playing over 100 A-league games pretty much makes arguments to the contrary a complete waste of time.
i can see Members point. everyone has full faith in Millers opinions on these kids yet he's made some pretty baffling statements/selections and in game decisions.
aren't we allowed to call him out on some of his errors?
he's got no problem throwing his own players under the bus.
In situations like the Jets find themselves in, I like to ask myself: what would GVE do?
We have a weak squad. Maybe he thinks they are slightly less shit than the other ones.
Alivodic has been dropped in what is a big indicator he won't be around next season. With finals now gone I think Miller is looking at playing those who will be around and then not playing those who won't be.
The only shock is that it took this long for him to be dropped
He has been pants for ****ing months
I think we can conclude Leo, triff and enver won't be here next season
Thought Cooper done ok.
imagine how good we'd be with someone like former Soccerroo David Carney in our team........
Before tonight was happy to resign Cry Baby, I mean Leo.
However after his and Mateos little bitch fest over who would take the penalty I was over his shit. Nail in the coffin was watching him sprint down the tunnel after the full-time whistle.
All of today's antics along with his instagram post he can **** right off.
yeah unfortunately he looks like he's done here. he could have been something special, especially if he had a few more quality players around him.
I know he had some injury issues early in the season but gee it's taken till round 25 to finally see Brennan get a run and you know what I reckon he done okay in the 20 minutes or so he was on. Would start him next week in that position and start Cooper in his best position at #10....he is not a wide player. Getting a bit over Leonardo's antics and as mentioned his tussle with Mateo over the penalty was kids stuff.
I'd get rid of Poljak without hesitation. He's just too ****ing slow.
Any Leonardo lovers do yourself a favour and go watch training. The blokes a mental case. The other day I saw him abuse ugar for about 5 min because in a gameplay situation at training, ugar defended him well and stole the off Leonardo with ease. He is consistently walking around yelling at his teammates in Portuguese.
By now it seems to be a running joke for the rest of the team.
