I wasn't sure where to put this as I couldn't find a relevant BK thread.
And before I post this, I'm not wanting to start the fight about whether he's good enough or not, deserving or not, suits long hair or short. I just want to acknowledge our longest serving player.
This Saturday marks 10 years since Ben Kennedy made his A-League debut.
• First A-League appearance was against New Zealand Knights at North Harbour Stadium on 27/08/2006. The match ended as a 0-0 draw.
• Ben was handed his debut by Nick Theodorakopoulos and is the 26th player to be capped in the A-League for the club.
• Ben has made 127 competitive appearances for the club. He has made 114 A-League appearances, 5 in the Asian Champions League, 2 in the FFA Cup and 6 in the Pre-Season cup. He 4th overall in most appearances for the club.
• Ben was the first Jets keeper to have a clean sheet on debut – Ivan Necevski, Neil Young and Matthew Nash are the only other players.
• Ben has kept 25 clean sheets in the A-League.
• Ben has made an appearance under every coach except one – Richard Money.
• Ben was the 19th player to captain the Jets. His first appearance as captain was against Sydney FC at Hunter Stadium 6/3/15.
• Ben has the 8th most appearances of any keeper in the league.
Love reading up on some stats:rof:Quote:

I suppose during the annus horribilus under the Muppet we must have head 5-6 alone that season.
Here's one for you mate, who has captained the team in the most games?
Off the top of my head I am tipping Zads.
I wonder why the Jets haven't signed their third u20 now they have "resolved" the squad positions with Brennan....mmmm....it's almost like its unresolved
It is sorted... Brenan is the mature age rookie
It's the contract (2yrs) that can be classed as a "mature age rookie" contract, not the player.Quote:

It was strongly tipped to be a local player from the Jets youth a few weeks back ie Cameron Joice. Maybe they are looking elsewhere now as no player really stands out from the youth playing group.Quote:

Cooper, Brennan and Pav left off the China tour.
Joice, Bymora & yoof mf Cody Carroll will join the touring squad instead.
article gives an idea of who is in the running for the U/20 spot

They may want to stay but why would you if you know before the start of the season that you are on the outer and even below youth players in the pecking order.
Going on his form last year, Miller appears to be the type of coach who once he makes his mind up about you in regards to what you can contribute to the squad....he doesn't backtrack on his decision. I'm not saying if this is right or wrong, just calling it how I see it.
Cheers mate.Quote:

Realistically few a-league teams would be chomping at the bit to sign them, (it's safe to assume) no NPL team would have the cash to match their current contracts, so its either find a payday in south east asia (and tunt he risk of ending up at club who doesn't actually pay you), or wait for ledman to sell you to a Chinese 3rd division side or wait out your contract earning cash riding the pine.
Except that he is not.Quote:

To sign a mature age rookie we would have needed to sign another player as the rookie is outside the cap and not included in the squad.
My money is that Parris's article was wrong or hypothetical, citing an unnamed FFA source with no quote from either club or FFA . I would bet one of the three left behind from China leave the club before the season starts and the Chinese player is signed.
Which you think would have been sorted at start of preseason. Nothing indicates this player won't be min wage so not like salary cap implications are not well known, ie, need 55k spare.Quote:
