Jets v Phoenix Trivia:

2. Who was the last Jets player to score in the first 10 minutes of a match?

3. How many players have made an appearance for the Newcastle Jets this season?

[MFKS]

Nailed on loss this one.

How much are Nix paying for the win??

2. Who was the last Jets player to score in the first 10 minutes of a match?

3. How many players have made an appearance for the Newcastle Jets this season?

1. Griff, Sash
2. Holy shit, I can't remember scoring early ever! At a wild stab I'll say Heskey, I feel like he scored early against maybe Victory AND Heart at home.
3. Without cheating and looking up at your appearance list and counting, I'll have a stab at just over the "squad limit", so will go 25.

[BodyNovo]

Well a month ago I thought I was going to wellington for a holiday

Now seems like I'm going for a football game if that's what you call it

2. Who was the last Jets player to score in the first 10 minutes of a match?

3. How many players have made an appearance for the Newcastle Jets this season?

1. I reckon Carles first goal was a penalty. Was the other one someone like Zelic or Okon?

2. I am struggling to think of a game that we started brightly in years. I know they keep talking about it on Foxtel that we've now gone 30,000 games without scoring in the opening 15 minutes... Maybe Heskey vs Heart 2 seasons ago? Was a Friday night game and we won 2-0.

More than that, I reckon. Think we are at 20 just with the people we have on the books now. Throw in the 5 sacked players plus all the ones that "left"... pushing 30, maybe more if I am forgetting a few folk.

Looking it up, we have 22 on our books currently. I think Vanstrattan, T. Cooper, Barresi, Lundy, Solari haven't featured for us, so 17 on our current books have played. The 5 sacked, plus the 4 to have left by "mutual" consent (Jeronimo, Flores, Gallaway, Steele) makes 26. Then I'll add in Cowburn & Crowley as youth-only players to make 28 as my final answer!

Didn't cooper come on against Roar?

Q1 - Wrong and wrong
Q2 - As with Grimario, you're both right. Heskey scored a 10th minute goal back in Season 8 at home against the Heart. That was 50 games ago.
Q3 - Wrong.

1. I reckon Carles first goal was a penalty. Was the other one someone like Zelic or Okon?

2. I am struggling to think of a game that we started brightly in years. I know they keep talking about it on Foxtel that we've now gone 30,000 games without scoring in the opening 15 minutes... Maybe Heskey vs Heart 2 seasons ago? Was a Friday night game and we won 2-0.

Q1 - Nick Carle is right. The others are less right.
Q2 - See above. Good memory on the game. Ryan Griffiths got the other one.
Q3 - Nope

More than that, I reckon. Think we are at 20 just with the people we have on the books now. Throw in the 5 sacked players plus all the ones that "left"... pushing 30, maybe more if I am forgetting a few folk.

Nope - I've double checked but I like your theory.

[Jeterpool]

That leaves one answer for Q1 remaining and Q3.

Didn't cooper come on against Roar?

Didn't cooper come on against Roar?

Cooper started against Roar did he not?

[Grimario]

Cooper started against Roar did he not?

Travis not Mitch.

[borat]

ahhh my bad

[Grimario]

Q1 - Nick Carle is right. The others are less right.

It's not going to be a regular goal scorer... but it's going to be someone senior/experience, I reckon.

Was Milligan on pens the season he was with us? Or maybe Jeffers/Bridges first goals?

[militiamon]

Imagine if we actually won this, lol.
