Well Hoff isnt offering anything and unless the ball is put on a platter Roy is anonymous. Would you rather Deans just keeps ****ing doing the same thing over and over again like we are atmQuote:

As for Roy if you can honestly say to yourself he has had good service this year you clearly know nothing about the game. Service = opportunities = goals.
I would bet my last dollar Roy would get more on target hence a better conversion rate than Yuel any day of the week. The problem is not Roy the issue has been a genuine 10. Roy's workrate and ability should not be in question, What is doubtful is Yuel's ability to put simple opportunities away continually. If not for our poverty pack approach to this season Yuel would be back in Victoria playing for a NPL club.
Trading Ugarkovich for O'doherty makes about as much sense as trading Gal Gadot for Hutcho's missus.
Hope you're all at the game.
Shit effort. You have to score from there Roy. Rip into him Stanny.
56min in and we haven't scored an own goal.
73mins and we get the own goal.
Mauragis and Goodwin need to start next game. Better to give them experience than start players who are probably not going to be here next season.
Yes. Mauragis did looked gassed at the end but will be better for the 45Quote:

Anyone know the longest a-league winless streak? Surely we're pretty close to it. Also by my memory we've picked up an amazing 4 points at MJS. What a fortress
I think the Mariners have set the record over their lean spell. ultimate A-League might have the dataQuote:

Roy could have been less obvious though... butchering a chance like that is a bit suspicious.
From what I saw was, sack the lot of them bar JohnnyK. Not one of them is worth shit.
Special mention of note that this weekend will be Nikolai Topor-Stanley's 200th competitive appearance for the club.
He has made 186 A-League appearances, 5 appearances in the FFA Cup and 8 in the Asian Champion League.
He's one of only 2 players to have appeared in both of our ACL campaigns, Kanta being the other. For those thinking didn't Hoffy - he didn't appear in our last ACL campaign because he was injured.
Well done to NTS - legend of our club.
Agreed about NTS but he has not been nearly half as good this season.
Club needs a shake up and NTS is one of them.
Hyphen is my favourite Jet.
Millar is the problem. We just don't play well when he's on the field.
Turnovers, lack of awareness both in attack and defence, inability to pass the ball or cross it to a team mate.
He wasn't responsible for the goal we conceded - but thats about the only positive.
His coaches as a kid were either clueless or he didn't listen.
He has his moments but his athleticism is not enough to cover the lack of awareness.
Spot on. He's off contract isn't he? I'd get rid. It's obvious he thinks he's way better then he is. Gold luck in EnglandQuote:

The ref tonight was Adam Fielding. But if what you're saying is a general comment - then yes. 100%Quote:

Some local kids need to be in the first team playing for the fans each week if we want to have any sort of standard to aim for. Effort should be the minimum, if we get beaten by better players but put in 100% effort, I'll be as happy as the winning fans.
I was going to say something similar, Stanny was still correct about Ams being a tool so I just left it as is. Haha.Quote:

Definitely should have been a simple penalty call for the first one tho.
How poor was Millar's dive, lmao. That was absolutely disgusting and a fitting way for his Jets career to end IMO.
Good post, Frodo. I agree.Quote:

thought it was Charles Firth, some of those calls had to be a piss-take surely?Quote:

I was talking about Simmons with my mate. Deans has shown he would give young kids a chance, particularly early in the season - Prso, Archbold, Mauragis and then Goodwin.Quote:

Briefly turned on Roar game yesterday to see Champness and antonee Burke-(something) playing. They also played a few young guys.
Antonee Burke was a junior with us right? Didn’t he go overseas as part of that weird swap deal we had when M Lee first took over. Wonder how he ended up at Brisbane.
Edit: did some googling. Junior at Jets. Left to go play for Seattle Sounders 2 or now Tacoma Defiance in their second tier. Apparently started most games.
Came back to Australia. Trialled with the Jets. Must’ve been told no contract. And I had ended up at Roar, maybe via Victorian NPL.
Was really pleased with the second half. Was bricking it for the last 10 waiting for Perth to score what I thought would be an inevitable goal.
How good was topor coming through and smashing thurgate on the bald spot after the goal. Not sure thurgate liked it though.
I’m assuming if Victory lose today, we won’t play our last game? Makes no difference to tables.
Curious to see what happens if Victory draw or win though. Do we then have the right to insist the game gets played since we can avoid last place?
