When I arrived a little early at the Maitland Regional Sports Facility it was quiet but for the chatter of the local birdlife, the movements of coaching staff setting up for the session and the sound of ping pong!
Yes there was a game of table tennis taking place. I sat back to take in the view from the Grandstand. Beautiful surface, and a great facility….ah the serenity.

Brisbane Roar FC vs Newcastle United Jets FC

Furns is joined by Matt to talk over dropping two points at the death (again) to draw away against Melbourne City.
A game where the Jets had the lead and a man advantage after City had Scott Jamieson sent off just before halftime, saw the age-old frailties crop up as City managed to bundle the ball into the net from a corner just before full time to draw. The guys talked over the lineup and performances, and asked why we keep doing this.
Talk then moved on to rumours surrounding a new fullback from WSW before the guys previewed the away game against Brisbane and gave our tips for the other games in Rd 23.
