loose. very.

[plague]

At a wedding in the vineyards hopefully in a good mood after 18 holes at Crowne Plaza in the morning.

I don't give any ****s about this game and this club.

[BodyNovo]

honestly if melbourne victory rock up to play, i could see 7 plus goals coming our way

if they walk it probably 2-0

[Grimario]

If they didn't already have an 8 goal lead on their nearest in the GD stakes, I would disagree... but they will start Nabbout and scrap out a 3-0 win.

[Blackmac79]

Everyone should try and make an effort to get to the pub for this.

Sydney Junction Hamilton.

Do it

[Hunter403]

If MV don't win by at least 4 then there should be an investigation into betting trends. Corruption will be the only legit reason why it is not a slaughter.

[MFKS]

Can easily see Victree resting their key players on Friday.

They have 2 games in Brisbane next week to play V Roar a few days apart.

That being the case those points are gonna be hard to get and a little more important in their destiny.

Can see their lesser lights get a run. Towel us up from minute 1 onwards but struggle to convert the dominance into goals and scrape a tight win

[Superdylan]

I'll be down at cronulla for the night

Victory 4-0 is my prediction

[leftrightout]

The Jets have conceded 13 goals in the last 10 minutes of matches this season.

I can see this stat happening in this game alone!

[boz-monaut]

we all should have put $10 on the Jets to lose every game this year - we wouldn't be rolling in cash but we would at least have gotten something out of this enormous clusterfůck

Squad for this game:

Newcastle Jets Squad vs. Melbourne Victory: 3. Taylor REGAN, 7. Enver ALIVODIC, 11. Andrew HOOLE, 12. Sam GALLAGHER, 13. Edson MONTAÑO, 16. Jacob PEPPER (C), 18. Allan WELSH, 19. Mitch COOPER, 20. Ben KENNEDY (Gk), 21. Daniel MULLEN, 22. LEE Ki-je, 26. Nicholas COWBURN, 27. Radovan PAVICEVIC, 29. Michael KANTAROVKSI, 30. John SOLARI (Gk), 31. Max BURGESS

Ins: 12. Sam GALLAGHER (promoted), 29. Michael KANTAROVSKI (promoted)

Outs: 5. Ben KANTAROVSKI (groin – 1 week), 8. Zenon CARAVELLA (ankle – indefinite)

Unavailable: 1. Jess VANSTRATTAN (Gk) (knee – indefinite), 2. Scott NEVILLE (groin – 3 weeks), 5. Ben KANTAROVSKI (groin – 1 week), 8. Zenon CARAVELLA (ankle – indefinite), 15. Joshua BARRESI (knee – season), 17. James VIRGILI (ankle – 3 weeks)

No Kanta or Caravella, interesting! Pepper has been the worst of the three when they've played CM together IMO - wonder who will partner Pepper there this week. Maybe Welsh - Stubbins loves to do that. Maybe someone else with the right connexions..

[BodyNovo]

i reckon he might put cowburn at cm, move regan or mullen to right and put his best mate gallagher in the centre

or if hes got some balls he will put little kanta there, but that could ruin his career before it started with having to mark a middle and forward 5 of Berisha, Kosta, Ben Khal, milligan, valeri

[Grimario]

Wonder whatever happened to the definite Stubbins signing (not his squad though), Travis Cooper? Poor bloke can't get in the squad ahead of Burgess.

Will probably be Gallagher or Welsh in mid with Pepper. Given we are going to lose, he could also drop Pepper to the bench and just play both the crappy defenders as midfielders in front of a back 4. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

[Jetmaster]

Might sit back with a pizza and a bottle of red.

In the words of Ken Arthurson - "if you know you are gonna be raped, you might as well lie back and try to enjoy it."

cooper is dead set shit.

No more querying on this bloke required.

The bloke isn't good enough for our team FFS

More importantly where is Lundy??
Bloke gets 2 subs runs and then is nowhere to be seen. You would think the Muppet would be keen to give the likes of Lundy Crowley etc a go if his moving forward bullwhip is to be believed

Peter O'Leary is tonight's referee

W-D-L record is 3-1-3. He's never officiated a Jets v Victory match.

He's pretty even with the cards, issuing 14 yellows to Jets players and 12 to opposition. He's sent one opposition player off.

He's awarded two penalties - one for the Jets and one for the opposition.

The last Jets match he officiated was a Round 7 this year. It was a 1-1 draw with the Wanderers.

I quite like O'Leary as a referee. Generally he lets play go and plays the advantage. He allows challenges to be put in and really doesn't take crap from the players.
