All good fun speculating. I would be just as delighted if you were right but after 12 seasons I have learnt to lower my expectations.Originally Posted by The Camel
All good fun speculating. I would be just as delighted if you were right but after 12 seasons I have learnt to lower my expectations.
I feel like two strikers and a 10 is too narrow. Unless you're a dominant possession team where fullbacks can set up camp in enemy territory it might struggle.
I think Juve were playing a diamond last year or the year before? Granted they had some phenomenal midfield players.
Ansell, FBK and Bray released from MV. Let's get all 3 of them.
Building a team with players other A-league teams rejected has not worked for us in the past. Can't see it working in the future either.
It simply keeps us a year or more behind the opposition.
Worked for Adelaide.
Worked for WSW (apart from the GF).
Worked for Sydney this year as well with rejects from 9th and 10th.
PS they rejected the guy that won the Joe Marston medal...
PPS we signed him
Id take Bray though, or at least a trial. Surely better than BK and Arcaba.
2018 update: we destroyed him.
Did they reject him or did we throw more coin at him??
Bray would be worth a look in, but considering he'll just warm the bench i wouldn't be overly bothered if we do or don't
i hope we dont sign FBK, if we're gonna poach other clubs foreigners they need to be the very best, merrick has found dudes like bonevacia who i rate higher then FBK and who have more years ahead of em too.
Ansell would be far from the worse if we had to steal another teams centre back, but i would rather us look a bit higher if possible
Agreed
I feel like this off season there's a lot more quality being released/off contract compared to other years. Signing some of these could either go two ways
- other clubs sign better foreigners and the league goes to another level whilst we get again finish low on the table.
- the Jets bank on some of these quality players being released as they're proven in the A league and other clubs struggle to replace them.
It's a relatively low risk way of recruiting. Other years I'd say no way but this year has seen some very good players hit the market
We are the Jets. We are not Adelaide, WSW, or Sydney FC.
And who were the rejects at SFC ?
To be fair this major rebuild should have been getting done when we signing Georgevski Petratos O Caravan etc
Changing managers has now cost us as Merrick left with just the shit left over to go through and not able to negotiate with the blokes who have renewed deals at their existing club or signed for rivals like Risdon Rhys Williams etc
Typical Newy Jets though disorganised from top to bottom
this is a good summation of the issue and the Jets def think they are doing option #2 but in reality option #1 is happening and we are getting pants again.
everyone* is learning from the New England Patriots motto of letting players go 1 year early rather than 1 year late.
*well everyone except the Newcastle Jets and about 31 other NFL franchises.
Come on mate. They have the worst coastie still in the league, rejected by coasties.
who are we? cant even keep a set of colors in our hood.

Was told by someone at the Gypo's end of season bonfire jamboree that O'Donovan said, while collecting his top goalscorer award, along the lines of "As much as I love you boys, I can't wait to score a hatrick in Gosford"
