Honestly no idea why we are looking at bridge when we play with 1 striker up front. Plus is he any better than Kokko (based on his European leagues form and stats) or Nordstrand based on what weve seen since he's been with us??

That, and bridge back in the team would would one could be realized to use a visa spot elsewhere in the squad.
With the recent developements of weak ankles knee being no good, I think we've firmed as chance to sign him. If his hip goes, go get bridge on the back of your shirt.
Now you've pretty much guaranteed well sign him on Marquee wages
I think I read on Facey this morning that she had just given birth to a little boy, Oscar..
Congrats to them both..
Yeah Jets posted something this morning
If Bridge has a Vote1 Lawrie shirt in his kit you can rest assured a deal is forthcoming.
Jets Powerchair Football club won their fir Australian Power Chair Football Club Championship title over the weekend, beating Brisbane PFC 1-0 in the grand final. BRisbane beat them 3-0 during the round robin comp just the day before, which resulted in the Jets coming 2nd overall.
You can find them on facebook

Excellent stuff, they share their winning mentality with our Aleague side??
Bridge has a fractured kneecap, so Jones is still keen on signing him - of course... what could possibly go wrong...

It's moments like this that sway my opinion on Jones from passable coach who may improve to outright moron - why is he so intent on giving wankles a comfortable retirement plan at our expense? He's never been a Joel and he never will be, if we want to throw big money at him (and I couldn't see wankles coming here unless we were offering far more than he's worth at this point in his career with his best football being behind him), I cannot see the value in it, he was too half-assed to be a Newy legend in the days when he did play for us, why would he become one now when he doesn't even appear to fit the mold of the team we're building?
Life isn't the same without Con... but it can only improve without Tinks...
We can only hope it's lip service from Jones.Bridge has a fractured kneecap, so Jones is still keen on signing him - of course... what could possibly go wrong...

Maybe he doesn't want to lay the boot into Bridge publicly. I would never wish injury on anybody, but I can't say I'm disappointed that Bridge won't be joining us for this season at least
Such a shame they didn't have a little girl, best song opportunity missed.
Either way, it was Knees up Mother Brown
A player like Bridge suits Jones style more. Breaking fast. Counter attacking. In my opinion this is the reason Kokko doesn't get a start. Not saying he is right but people will have their opinions. Probably the reason Nordstrand is getting a start. Chase long balls into corners, breaking the line etc. It's why I think O'Donovan would probably interest Jones so much. All my thoughts. Which are usually bullshit 11/10 times.
Those words should never be used with Bridge. Not in the last 3 years and never again.
Is Bridge even that fast??
And with the amount of long balls we generally do Kokko would be useful as well as give us an ACTUAL option when we kick off long from teams pressing us high
Not anymore. Used to be, about 3 years ago.
Kokko suits counter attacking more imo.
Hold the ball up when isolated waiting for quick wingers to counter.
100% and kokko can hold it up then lay it off to clut or brown to put hoole or nabbout through
Agree with the comments on Kokko, a good outlet who can link up with those around him is crucial. Having said that I thought Clut performed the hold up role excellently a few games back, I can't remember who against. Received a lot of passes under heavy contest from defenders, hardly lost it and probably won 5 free kicks from being fouled after beating his closest marker. Had a great first half and was subbed around 55 for Nordstrand. I think it was at home against Adelaide.
Hopefully it will come out as the season progresses why Kokko is still not involved, he must be close to if not fully recovered from the jaw but didn't even make the bench for last game. I really hope we get to see him play some minutes and show what he can do.
