Furns (@newyboys) is joined by regular co-hosts David (@Jeterpool), Michael (@BodyNovo) and Heath (@parksey_10) to discuss all the action (or lack thereof) from the Jets away draw in Adelaide. We go through the game stats before we attempt to break down a fairly defensive Jets display, player performances and the coaching and tactics.
We also cover off the Jets W-League and NYL results.
In off-field news we chat about the players coming off contract at end of the season and who we should keep, we discuss the #NewyHelps charity campaign before jumping into the recent furore regarding a certain NewsCorp anti-football “journalist” and an old fogey with a AM breakfast show that only octogenarians listen to.
Then we go through the current injury list as we preview the game against Brisbane at home this Saturday before giving our thoughts and tips on the other games in Rd 8.

THE REFEREE: – Alan Milliner
The W-D-L record under Milliner is 2-2-2. The one match he has refereed at Hunter Stadium was a 2-1 win over the Melbourne Victory.
Milliner has never shown a red card in any Jets fixture. He does, however, quite freely show yellow cards at an average of 4.5 per match.
He has never awarded either team a penalty in a Jets fixture.
Milliner was last week involved in the controversial re-take of a free-kick by Sydney because he had not yet blown his whistle to resume play.
The Jets matches Milliner officiates tend to have plenty of goals, with an average of just under 3 per match scored.
He’s never officiated a Jets v Roar clash.
