I read this and I thought of Ljubo straight away.
Think back a few years and the Jets finish last in 08/09, at the same ex-Socceroo big Lubes' career is at a crossroads after being dumped at Victory.
The Jets need a leader at the back while Lubes needs a club to give him a chance.
The rest is history, the Jets have a decent run in the ACL and play in the HAL Finals, getting past the much-fancied Gold Coast in the process with big Lubes playing a significant role in both and attaining "instant hero status"....as Grimario would put it.
Perfect opportunity now for someone like Herd to come to the club and do a similar thing to what Lubes done!
