16/17 HAL Round 21 | Newcastle Jets v C Coast Mariners | Sun 26th Feb 2017 5:00pm

[hawk]

Shouldn't need much motivation to get the team up this week.

Thats what we say everytime and nearly everytime we casually canter around hoping someone will do something.

So, last chance win or or hand ya shirt back

[Nou Camp]

who is suspended for this game?

[Macca]

Boogard, Brown, Lei Lei. Surely either Clut or Kokko will be starting with the other to feature off the bench.

[Nou Camp]

so the team will be

Duncan
mullen Jackson kout hoff
urga polkaj
hoole nobby nabo
kokko

[Jardelsimage]

Jones is onto a win-win situation, no matter who he plays and what the outcome is.......

we lose: Understrength team and we tried real hard, game plan didn't work because of the new players...Kokko, plays him, he's shit.
we win: super coach with under strength side, game plan devised worked great. If Kokko starts and scores, finally fit enough.
Jones is a genius!!!!

[furns]

I can't see it
Cowburn or Vujica will return to LB, Hoff will go back to RB and Mullen will partner Jackson.
Expect Clut to come in for Leilei.
Any other changes will be on the subs bench

[evanhayes5]

so the team will be

Duncan
mullen Jackson kout hoff
urga polkaj
hoole nobby nabo
kokko

This will be the team

or Clut in for Kokko

[Jeterpool]

This will be the team

or Clut in for Kokko

Mullen needs to be central to handle o'donovan

Two young CBs is asking for trouble

[Nou Camp]

Purely just going off what the pecking order for players seems to be at the moment
I had the same thought with the 2 younger centre backs

[RAM]

Mullen needs to be central to handle o'donovan

Two young CBs is asking for trouble

Mullen's shit.

The two younguns won't handle the devious, street smart, O'Caravan though.

[The Dunster]

Play Kanta and instruct him to kick the shit out of O'Donavan and make it clear it's the only way he will get another contract with the Jets.
If he gets a red card so what, we probably weren't going to play him again anyway.

It's disappointing that nobody else came up with a similar plan.

[Jeterpool]

Mullen's shit.

The two younguns won't handle the devious, street smart, O'Caravan though.

Would we rather Mullen against O'Donovan with the help of Jackson or against Pain or Ferreira?

I know I'd rather Hoffman and Cowburn against Pain and Buhagiar than out Mullen on the right.

[Jetmaster]

Sign Griff on 1 day contract....he starts...kicks O'D in the nuts, headbutts him...and walks off to a standing ovation.

[Jeterpool]

And zads to go through that grub McGing...but do it from the bench Timmy style

Would love to see a good crowd, but still worried people are voting with their feet. Our crowds have been steadily dwindling due to another season of inconsistent football and people are still disillusioned by it all after so many years of failure - if it were true that our playing style is enough to draw in the crowds we would be seeing an increase rather than steady decline at the turnstiles. We need results, and solid results at that, to turn a few more through the gates, game v Tards was a really good game but we didn't win, followed by a gutless loss the next game against the cellar dwellers, and no-one is going to have great expectations of us thrashing the gyppos, so why would they wanna turn up? All our coach will say if we lose is 'it is what it is' - totally over if Jonesy, we have the cattle to be a top 6 contender, if you aren't capable of making them meet their potential f*ck off back to Adelaide juniors and let Clayton coach us for the rest of the season...

[Jetmaster]

Now about McBreen on Shoutout the other night - said he begged GVE to sign him up for the Jets when he came back from overseas. Sounded like some bad blood there.

[q-money]

surely kokko bags a hatty

[hawk]

surely kokko bags a hatty

Would immediately win hearts and minds of newy and become Mayor

[Jeterpool]

Would immediately win hearts and minds of newy and become Mayor

He does that it would allow him to say hi to Griff.

A lot of people are doing it tough financially at the moment as well which won't be helping. So for many families without a season ticket it's a relatively expensive day out. Hence, the team needs to be even more consistent than it was in the past to keep crowd numbers up as people are looking for a lot more from a dollar during these times.
People like myself that don't work and essentially live off savings are not keen to throw money at anything that's not a sure thing so to speak. I can buy a weeks groceries for close to what it costs to go to a Jets game - and lets face it - they are not worth starving over.
Admittedly, there are some people that place watching Jets at the top of their lists as well. But I would say they are the exception to the rule.
