Genuinely interested, how has the Jets pre season gone so far (in all the age groups)
I have heard a couple of results in next season's 13s and 15s but not much else
Playing Lakes at Evans Park tomorrowOriginally Posted by WOW2.0
They got beaten in every grade except 18?s by Blacktown City a week ago. The 13?s beaten by about 11
Against Blacktown 13s got well beaten but first game against a Sydney team - just need to get used to the pace, 14s 3-1 down but could have easily won, 15s 4-3 down, again could have won, 16s 1 nil down and 18s 1 nil win.
Against Lakes I think it was pretty dominant across the board as you would hope. 6-1, 8-0 type scores for 13/14/15s. Not sure of 16s and 18s.
Central Coast this week who got some good results against Blacktown so a good test.
The scores against Lakes blew out late in all games. There were some young fellas playing for Lakes who could quite easily slip into the jets teams.
I thought the jets struggled in some of the games early on, but fitness got them there in the end.
Agreed, City did well and most goals came in the second half.
Apart from fitness, there's also a certain psychological reason behind blow out scorelines too...which is another reason teams run away with it at the end.
Who chooses who the Jets play locally though, they've played New Lambton and Lakes...rather then the traditionally stronger clubs?
They'll play TSP again at least in the younger age groups, but from what I saw last time (earlier this year) the TSP team was clearly set up to fail. 3 groups of mixed kids, given 10-15 minutes to play and then team switched out. Given the instruction to "go out and have fun" after a low intensity rondo (1 group didn't even have a coach to help with theirs) while the Jets kids got a full high energy warm up, whiteboards out, etc.
There were so many fouls committed in one of the games I'm surprised no one got hurt...I don't even know why they bothered when they did it in such a way.
(Then after that "show", the Jets got beaten 6-0 from Syd United the next weekend)
Hi WOW, did you manage to watch the games Jets v TSP in the younger age groups earlier in the week? If so, what are your thoughts this time around?
No I didn't go. It was an earlier session and my son had his music lesson
(Usually we do that before heading to TSP...his not very good 😂
I did have a parent call me after and say they played 2 halves where TSP changed teams...team 1 got beaten by a fair bit, team 2 got a draw but I was told that they had "outplayed the Jets" (can't validate that though and it might just be bluster...things often are)
(I think there were quite a few of the TSP kids absent)
13's 1-1, 14s 6-1. Not sure of any detail, just the results.
As the TSP only played half a game each, shouldn't you show the 4 results?
Pushing them together just looks like padding
Should really be an invited TSP "select", Vs the Jets and have a proper game if the Jets were after value in the outcome 🤷
Found out some more info. Each half result.
13s 1 nil TSP, 1 nil Jets. No info on how it was played.
14s 5 nil Jets, 1-1. TSP has some very good periods in the second half, Jets more chances. Good depth in the age group.
TSP in 13s only had 14kids so it was like a normal game set up for that age group.
Some kids in that TSP side that would really help that 13s team i think
FNSW draws are out.
