Furns (@newyboys) is joined this episode by David (@JeterPool), Michael (@BodyNovo) and Glen (@SufferJetsCity).
After the opening question, we spend some time reviewing the loss away from home to Adelaide United. We review the overall performance before discussing tactics and formations, as well as highlight some stats and player performances, including our new signings.
We discuss some correspondence from fellow Jets supporters before delving into the protracted Carney transfer to Sydney FC and how it affects the club, our other transfer business as well as how the current state of the club affects us in the transfer market.
We then preview the game on Sunday 7th February against Melbourne City at Hunter Stadium and give our tips and thoughts on the rest of the games in Round 18.
We round out the podcast by reading out your iTunes reviews.

Furns (@newyboys) is away again this week, so David (@Jeterpool) hosts this edition with Michael (@BodyNovo) and Heath (@parksey_10) live from Wests Leagues. They go into detail on the heavy defeat at home to Melbourne City FC. Dave also talks about the Jets Youth match against the FFA CoE, as well at the W-League game on Sunday that took place prior to the A-League game.
In off-field news the lads talk about the imminent departure of Lee Ki-Je to Ulsan Hyundai and rumours of David Carney moving on, where we need reinforcements to replace them, the Jets Members Christmas Party and the #NewyHelps raffle draw we conducted live on Periscope.
Then they preview the home game against Adelaide United at Hunter Stadium this Friday and give their tips and thoughts on the rest of the games in Round 11.
No storms or power failures this week, but plenty of background TV noise.
