The Jetstream Preview – Toast Toppings & Punching Santa

Furns (@SquadronNewy), Michael (@BodyNovo), Grant (@Grant BLK) & Glen (@SufferJetsCity) preview Rd3 @NewcastleJetsFC away to @WSWanderersFC

**We are very pleased to welcome Grant Black from the Fill the Hill Friday podcast (available on Soundcloud) and Anthony Scarcella to the Jetstream team for this episode and for the upcoming season.**

After the opening question degenerates into a discussion on toast, the panel then drag the chat back to discuss the stats and general impressions around the upcoming game on the weekend against WSW, before an excerpt from the Fill the Hill podcast with Todd Blackwell and Grant recorded live at Jets training at Ray Watt Oval. This leads into the discussion on tactics and possible formations, the ins and outs of the squad, and the likely starting XI.

We then jump into an interview that Furns conducted with Brendan from the Around the Bloc podcast (@ATBWSW) where they discuss the Wanderers side of the upcoming match going into their performances in their first two games, their squad and likely lineup and how he sees the match unfolding. The panel then return to discuss Wanderers players to watch and any weaknesses in the team.

We then give our predictions for the game, along the rest of the A-League round. We finish off by going over the latest news from the last few days.
