2022/23 Newcastle United Jets Men's Squad

[Eastwest]

Pinched these images off FB from this week, re-laying of the pitch where the stage area was:

Attachment 1818

Pitch was dodgy before due to motocross so we might as well stuff it up every month

Elsey gone. How will our defence cope without his "leadership", lol.


I'll admit I was genuinely excited when we signed him as he was always solid, if a little bland, at Adelaide. But being asked to play anything but a Sweeper (same as Jurman) has shown that he clearly wasn't as talented as I'd thought and Adelaide just had a decent system for him to work in.

Rory Jordan also sent on loan to Apia

Who has offered him a long term deal

He's off to Perth

He's off to Perth

Their recruitment policy is on par with ours

Zads obviously seen enough when the karate kick that gave away a penalty and got him sent off in our first game and feels that he needs that type of lunacy in his side

[belchardo]

I'm encouraged that we are finding a way to move a few players on. I assume it means we have some pretty good prospects for new signings.

I agree with the joke here, unfortunately they've just signed Taggart who would be the best striker in the league pretty comfortably. If they can somehow create chances their defense won't matter.

Your optimism has no place here LOL

sometimes it just breaks through but it is rapidly pushed back to where it belongs.

I just assumed you were being sarcastic, oops.

[Jeterpool]

Hope we have started contract negotiations. Personally, I think Mikeltadze and Thurgate are our priority followed by Stynes and Timmins. Fine with Jurman and Grozos being offered new contract too.

I suspect James will move on. Both keepers have another year on him and if he's going to develop he needs to start getting game time.

Hoff is an interesting one and I could go either way (for the right $$). I think we need to improve on Ingham.

[Alton]

Does anyone come in on money saved on Elsey and Jordan?

[Buddha]

They should fold the club so we can all get on with our lives

[Jetmaster]

You can still get on with your life can't you?

[Buddha]

You must be new here

Depends what the goal is

If we want to be shit again next year then we might as well sign Hoffman Jurman etc

You know the old philosophy if it ain't broke then don't fix it etc

If we want to be good then the only way either should be at a Jets game is sitting in the stands watching

Totally get that. I think the goal depends on the ownership. We're nothing more than a placeholder while the other 4 clubs who run us are in charge.

We won't progress until we are independent of them.

If we have new owners we need to be aiming higher - completely agree. But I can't think about what might be - only what currently is.
