Ben is good people.
Good on him for the new gig.

[MFKS]

Ben O'Neill, Jets Media Manager for those who don't know the name, has announced he's leaving the club and heading to the FFA. I've had a lot to do with Ben over the last few years with the podcast, player data and Wingman material and he's been professional, flexible and helpful.

He's being replaced by Matt Townsend is replacing him. He worked with Lawrie at Gosford Council, according to an article by Barry Toohey that was tweeted yesterday.

So Gypo CEO now is just filling the club with his Gypo mates now ??

Ben is a lovely bloke but he cannot escape some blame for our poor performance. It's best we let him go.

You're right. We should have posted more "1 Like = 1 Prayer" updates throughout the past 2 seasons.

I'd have preferred 1 like = 1 point

Even better, someone suggested changing NTUA to Eye of the Tiger and McKinna thought it was a great question.

I bet his m8 Mark Jones would say it's just another song.

If that is ever proposed I would go off in the member's group.

I just tweeted him and asked if he'd change You'll Never Walk Alone? Forever Blowing Bubbles or Follow Follow?

The song is part of teh club's soul - and if they change it they'd be removing part of what we are.

But hey, everything else appears up for grabs regardless of the history in the joint so why not.

Eye Of The Tiger is the most hackneyed "fire up" song of all time - utterly sick of it.

My fave A-League theme is City's - different and you can't help but feel good.

Isn't City's song "I'm in the money"?

Ambitious considering we've achieved a combined total of 52 in the last 2 seasons...It will sure be entertaining if they pull it off.

Was this before or after I tipped the horse in the KOTH?

Ali is back in HAL....to Nix

Ali is back in HAL....to Nix

Good to see him back! I think he will do well at the Nix.

While he would have been a serviceable option for the Jets, does anyone here see he would be anything greater than a squad player? The Jets at this point are in need of starters.
