Furns (@newyboys) is joined by Michael (@BodyNovo) Grant (@Grant BLK) & Anthony (@_ascarcella) to preview Rd2 between @NewcastleJetsFC & @BrisbaneRoar
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 the panel discuss the stats and general impressions around the upcoming game on the weekend against Brisbane, before discussing tactics and possible formations. We then have 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 the current state of the squad for the game on sunday, the ins and outs, and the likely starting XI.
We then jump into an interview that David conducted with Adam, Ben and James from @TheRoarCast where they discuss the Brisbane side of the upcoming match going into their performance last game against Victory, their squad and likely lineup and how they see the match unfolding. The panel then discuss Brisbane’s players to watch and likely tactics away from home.
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 before getting into a short discussion on A-League expansion and promotion and relegation.

TALKING POINTS:
Memorable Match – 17th November 2013
The first match where the Jets came from behind at half time to win. Brisbane took the lead through a Luke Bratten goal on a soggy afternoon in Newcastle. The second half saw the Jets score two goals through Adam Taggart, with a little help from a large puddle of water, to run out 2-1 winners.
General
There has only been one scoreless match between these two teams in the history of the A-League.
The Jets last beat Brisbane in February 2014.
The Jets are 7383 attendees from having 1.5 million people attend an A-League game at the stadium.
Mark Jones and Nick Nick Theodorakopoulos are the only managers in Jets history to draw their opening match.
Gary Van Egmond is the only manager to have won his first match against the Roar.
Players
Wayne Brown is the 7th Jets player to score on his A-League debut.
The last substitute to score for the Jets, Radavan Pavicevic, scored his goal against the Roar.
5 players made their debut for the club last week, the same number as Round 1 in the previous two seasons.
Wayne Brown is the 66th player to score for the Jets.
Newcastle Jets
The Jets have scored the first goal in their last 3 fixtures.
The Jets have won 5 of the 10 fixtures held on a Sunday between these 2 clubs, while 2 of the 3 wins in Newcastle have come on a Sunday.
Newcastle have scored a goal in their last 5 games – the longest streak in 2.5 years.
Brisbane Roar
Brisbane have scored the first goal in this fixture on 5 of the last 6 occasions.
Brisbane have managed to claim 20 points from a losing position against the Jets over the course of the A-League’s history – the most of any team against Newcastle.
Injuries
Newcastle Jets Daniel Alessi – Knee (Season), Mateo Poljak – Calf (possible), Morten Nordstrand – Knee (possible), Daniel Mullen – Knee (12 weeks), Ben Kennedy – Achilles (Season), Jason Hoffman – Calf (Unknown)
Brisbane Roar
PREDICTION: –
After one round, the Jets are already facing a test of their squad depth with Mullen sustaining a serious knee injury while Hoffman and Kokko are also in doubt. The return of Poljak and Nordstrand should help to aleviate the loss.
Jacob Pepper will likely deputise for the suspended Matt McKay in midfield. The socceroos midfielder’s presence will be missed but Pepper will bring energy for the Roar in the middle of the park.
The Jets will look to build upon a solid first performance against Adelaide, but to do so they will need to defy a trend of poor restuls againts the Roar in Newcastle.
With the 1.5 millionth fan at the stadium likely to be in attendance on Sunday, I think the Jets will have enough to get over the line. Jets 2-1
Furns (@newyboys) returns to host this weeks’ episode and is joined by a returning David (@JeterPool), Glen (@SufferJetsCity) and Michael (@BodyNovo).
After the opening question, we jump into discussing another 2-1 loss this time away to the Brisbane Roar. We go through the game and review the overall performance of the team and talking points of the game including the goals and yet another red card to Captain Redtastic. As there was no Jetstream Extra this week, we have included Scott Millers post match press conference as well as an interview Michael did after the game with Jets supporter Drew.
There wasnt anything new to talk about regarding transfers and ownership so we discussed the Jets laying on buses to the away F3 Derby as well as some correspondence via social media.
Then we preview the final game & F3 Derby of the season this Saturday 9th April March against the Mariners away at Central Coast Stadium. We finish the episode by giving our tips and thoughts on who will take out the 2016 A-League Premiership and the individual games in Round 27.
