I always wonder if people realise that we don't have a list of players. We don't scout players or watch other leagues or really pay attention to other teams in the league.
Our only source of signings is when agents come to us with a player. Then, we review some footage and take a guess whether or not they'd work in the league.
The Jets are a two-bit operation. Last year was a fluke, Dimi and Nabboot were flukes, we will have years of mediocrity and then something good will fall on our lap for a year or two and we just need to enjoy it when it happens. Anything positive that happens to the Jets has very little to do with the hard work/skill of those running the place.
I find it strange the way our 3 spokesmen (Lawrie, ernie and Griff) operate. They seem to always be contradicting each other's comments in various media
Yep fair comment although I did have a conversation with lord Griff about recruiting and his role in everything and he told me he has a rather large network of agents and contacts (ex teammates etc working in football) that he corresponds with constantly throughout the year.
I have no doubts about Lord Griff being able to compile a list of players.
Unfortunately I'm not so confident when it comes to the club actually being able to make competitive offers to players.
Gallop is no doubt a dill
But he really is the least of our worries at FFA
The bloke is just the public face puppet of the circus there

Brisbane have just turfed a heap of players..
Bautheac
Holman
Devere
Babalj
Lokoli-Ngoy
Tongyik
Lopez
Mikkelson
Not saying we should, but would you look at any for next season??
None of them.
Babalj could have been anything but like so many went overseas to improve himself and instead came back half the player he was. I'd question if this blokes even State League level these days.
Devere has been injured / below par for the last 4 years. He was good but after 4 years of showing nothing I'd say he's finished as well.
The others are either over priced imports or players the Jets smashed with ease all season.
Seriously, I reckon busted arse Devere is better than Boogs. I don't want us to sign him, he's useless nowadays. But resigning Boogs and Jackson is just the ****ing worst decision we've made.
None of that list will be signed by us, a few might go to the Mariners. Devere, Nigro, Tongyik and Caletti will probably be in talks with the scum. Then will move on to be recycled again in another year.
