Youngest side ever they've put out in the NPL, and if Charlestown lose tomorrow, Jets Youth will finish 5th which will be a fantastic achievement especially after having just 1 point from the first 5 games and around 20 goals conceded or something like that, which included some heavy defeats. Last 2/3 of the season have been really good for them (aside from the pasting Magic gave them when they were missing 4-5 starters).
I'd say almost all of them will be back next year. Pawiak is ineligible to go around again next winter and there may be another 1 or 2 who will follow through the exit door. They will definitely push for top 4 in 2017. I hope they'll be allowed to play in the finals next year should they qualify, knockout football which can go the distance is another learning experience altogether which they'll need. They aren't far away at all, pushed Edgy right to the end twice as well as Olympic and Maitland once, where perhaps inexperience caused those games to slip through their fingers.
