Can someone please tell me what's been happening
Nothing
No signings
No drama
Literally ****ing nothing
We got a few injuries.
Oh, our main striker is also missing 10 games.
Behind closed doors friendly with Sydney. Currently were down 2-1 Le Fondre with a double and Thurgate with 1
Looks like Sheppard didn't play. Italiano got a run in goals and Virgili 2.0 started.
Sounded like Sydney dominated and we got in behind on the counter a few times.
Thats not how Merrick described it in his interview
I read my report on Reddit, turns out it was from the Sydney FC website.
I just read the Jets version and they seem to say the exact opposite. Its a friendly so it doesn't matter too much. We still only have half an attack to play.
Sheppard didn't travel with the team. So i'm guessing he is back with his NPL side waiting for a phone call from Griff.
We are currently trialling Gerrie Sylaidos who is a diminutive winger from northcote city. Still only 19 and after asking on another forum I was told he has crazy skills and technical ability and was always the 'other' playmaker behind arzani in the city youth set up. Not sure why he isn't still with them.
The way I am reading the situation of shephard/ sylaidos/other trialists is it will come down to whether Merrick decides to sign a target man or a winger. I think Hoffman's form as a central striker this pre-season is key to this decision.
Actually this is what I was told about sylaidos:
Quality player, technically superb was always the 2nd standout attacker at City youth after Arzani. Takes players on with ease, good with both feet and has a lethal strike on him.
Still a teenager though wont be picked up by the Jets this time.
Is there a reason why not?
Yeah not sure why not, asking that question now
ive been doing some research on Kaine Sheppard, and beside his 2 goals in FFA Cup, he doesnt seem to have such a great record. im not believing all this, but more so would like to hear from anyone who has seen him in action to tell otherwise
Hasn't sheppard got 15 or so goals this season? He mainly floats around and plays off their more 'highly rated' striker Liam Boland.
he does have 20, equal with boland, but in past years he has been very quiet not traditionally a starter. more so asking why him and not boland, or any other star in vpl. i guess merrick sees value in him with his preferred system? just trying to if see if anyone follows the vpl and can shed any further light on his credentials
Did Boland score against the gypos to knock them out of FFA cup a few years ago? Name is familiar!
WE DON'T DO WALKING AWAY !
Jets up 3 zip @ halftime v Edgeworth. Dimi with a double and Ronald the 3rd
Yes that is him
Jets v Edgeworth finished 5-0 Hoffy with 2 in the second half
Not all NPL stars actually want to play AL.
OK
