    Fan questions for Lawrie for Jetstream interview

    OK, so we have put a request to the club to have an interview with Lawrie McKinna similar to that held at the beginning of the season. The club and Lawrie have made time for us to speak on May 5th.

    As per previous interviews, we will table questions to Lawrie posed by people on here. As always, questions will be moderated by us for language and clear trolling so be respectful in what you ask. Lawrie has always been willing to speak with us and both he and the club have supported the podcast having access.

    Questions will close Wednesday 3rd May to allow us time to review the questions, group themes and construct the flow of the interview.

    Finally, please post all questions in this thread.

    Lawrie agreed that the Jets would buy some however We were asked to source them and find around 200 buyers so something.


    Has someone found a supplier? Have we got 200 committed buyers?

    I'd like him to clarify our Visa spot situation. Now that we have both a Chinese and Chilean partnership are 2/5 spots going to these every year? are we looking at OS marquees etc soo that we are not bound by these countries? That puts added stress on getting the other 3 spots exactly right.

    Has he got a genuine scouting network.. Or will they invest in one? Will they be using all the salary cap concessions available to them? They certainly need to as we are pathetic

    Adding to this, are we looking at overseas based Australian players struggling for game time or out of contract? Burns and Milligan have both spent time at the Jets and fit the above criteria. I'm sure there are plenty of others I'm missing

    Jeterpool can you ask Lawrie if there has been any further discussion with TransGrid about relocating Jets admin staff into their building beside Ray Watt Oval. This was rumored some months ago (with TransGrid staff receiving internal emails indicating that discussions were being held).

    And will the Jets build a shade cover for those that #FilltheHill during training.

    given the damage to the Jets 'brand' done by nearly a decade of poor management and results, where the team and club lurched from one disaster to another, does Lawrie think it's worth re-branding the team to something other than the Jets? or changing away from Knight's colours?

    With BLK now bust and discussions mentioned last year a number of brands were being considered, who will the Jets be securing as the kit supplier?

    With the prices for the friendly priced between $30 and $40, how long before they are reasonably priced?

    Alternatively, how are the sales going and what sort of lineup will Audax be bringing?

    Many would say that the stability in the coaching department is a key component to onfield success

    Since the Gypo CEO and the Chinese Lightsalesman have arrived we now gone through 2 and leading on to 3 soon.

    Being the decision was made to appoint Jones on your watch . Why were the pair of you unwilling to offer him adequate support??

    By my calculations Jones was offered a pretty poor squad
    He was given SA NPL level players as recruitment options
    He was also given a pretty inexperienced coaching department around him

    Now considering the pretty shit cards the bloke was dealt by the club why was no patience and loyalty to stand by your man that YOU gave a 2 year deal to??

    The club has a shitful run the last 6-8 weeks of the season and based on that implosion you decided to blow everything up and start again instead of having the courage to back the coach

    You personally ask me in January to give the Jets (you) a chance, then asked on NBN last month to give the Jets (you) a chance ..... how many more chances should we give you?

    Better still - at the forum last year we were told that the fans would get to choose colours for the club, but not for last season due to orders already committed. Majority that night wanted gold and E&C alternate. What is happening here?

    Well done for sacking jones. A dud at best...

    Is Merrick going to get a vastly improved squad?

    Will you step down after you fail next year?

    Can we give mfks concrete shoes?
