Newcastle skipper Nigel Boogaard says it is “not good enough” that the Jets haven’t made the finals since 2010 and has declared making the top six as a bare minimum for the club this season.
The Jets last made the A-League finals seven years ago and since then the Hunter outfit has finished seventh three times, eighth twice and last twice.
In the 2016/17 campaign under Mark Jones, Newcastle collected its second wooden and won just five games.
Veteran coach Ernie Merrick has been installed and several promising signings have been made.
Local product Boogaard, who returned home to the Jets in 2015 from Adelaide United, told FourFourTwo the club has big goals for the new campaign.
“Every year when you’re playing in a 10-team competition an achieveable goal is the top six, and that’s the bare minimum,” he said.
“If you’re not aiming for that then there’s no point being a professional in a competition like this. For us, top six is bare minimum. We say it every year but this year it has to happen.
“It’s not good enough for the club to have gone for as long as it has without making the top six. And once you get there, anything can happen. In saying that you’re always aiming for the top, no matter what you do.
“As professional sportsman you want to finish on top and I’m sure that’s everyone’s internal goal is to win the league and that’s what we’re aiming for and that’s the mindset in training.
“Every detail we do is geared towards having a successful season and hopefully at the end of the season we’re there or thereabouts and challenging for a title.”
Newcastle have been undefeated against northern NSW opposition in pre-season, but lost 2-0 to the Mariners in a friendly in July and went down 1-0 to the Reds in the Round of 32 in the FFA Cup.
New captures at the Jets include Roy O’Donovan, Glen Moss, Kosta and Dimitri Petratos, Daniel Georgievski, Mario Shabow and Nikolai Topor-Stanley.
In total 12 plays have left the club, with the likes of visa players Aleksandr Kokko, Morten Nordstrand and Mateo Poljak all departing.
Centre back Boogaard is hoping to strike an effective partnership in defence with former Wanderers stopper Topor-Stanley.
“A big one for me is Nikolai at the back, last year we conceded a lot of goals,” the 30-year old said.
“It wasn’t good enough but with his experience, not only on the ball but organizing. He’s a big talker and really communicates with everyone in front of him, which is going to be a big thing for us this year.
“A lot of the teams that were successful last season, their first XIs pretty much stayed the same throughout the year.
"They formed partnerships, whether it’s the back four or a front three, as having an understanding of each other and letting that build over time and games.
“I’m really looking forward to playing with Nikolai, getting an understanding, and having a good year.”

I don't think that is real. There is no manufacturer logo for a start. Looks more like either a cheap knock-off or a Best & Less supporters gear.

But seriously, who would bother making a fake Jets shirt, with the A-League logo done correctly, and A-League logos on the collar and tag etc.?
I agree that it might be a 'supporter' shirt, and they'll sell about three of them.
Their manufacturer was announced to be 'Viva' - I think the only thing I've seen from them before is baseball gear - the ABL teams and Baseball Australia teams wear their gear.
Looking at the Viva site, they've got a football catalogue, including some Jets supporter gear, and they've got Viva logos in the same place on all their shirts (just below the right shoulder seams) and that's not on the shirt above, so we can assume it's not made by them, so it's not on-field wear or anything you'll ever see club players or staff in.

A little bit of fudging there methinks:-
"The Jets last made the A-League finals seven years ago and since then the Hunter outfit has finished seventh three times, eighth twice and last twice.
In the 2016/17 campaign under Mark Jones, Newcastle collected its second wooden and won just five games."
2016/17 was their "THIRD" wooden spoon!

That sounds right to me (I mean 3 spoons). Sadly we stopped them getting a hattrick over the last 3 years.A little bit of fudging there methinks:-

That's horrific, didn't think anyone could come close to our palm tree abomination but the Jets are trying hard!

Judging by that strip, it appears that the only people who hates the Jets more than Central Coast fans is the Jets club itself.
Still not as bad as MV's security guard jersey, but it's up there

Newcastle Jets owner signs multimillion-dollar A-League deal:
The Jets’ Chinese owners will see a partial return on their investment after winning a multimillion-dollar contract to supply LED signs to six A-League stadiums.
The Ledman Group will supply LED strip signage to QMS Sport, which earned a three-year renewal of its FFA contract last week.
QMS provides all advertising signs for A-League, W-League finals, FFA Cup, Socceroos and Matildas games.
Ledman bought the Jets for about $5.5 million last year and is understood to have lost about $3 million running the club last season.
The lighting firm’s deal with QMS is understood to be close to $3 million.
Jets boss Lawrie McKinna said it was pleasing to see the club’s owner derive commercial success from their A-League investment.
“It’s great for Ledman and great for the league,” he said.
The 240m LED signs line three sides of the pitch during A-League games.
“QMS have purchased five sets from Ledman and then they’ll lease back one set from the Jets,” McKinna said.
“Obviously with FFA and our involvement and Ledman it’s all just worked out well. It’s a big investment.”

A-League: Jets soar past Sydney FC in friendly:
COACH Ernie Merrick was confident that the Jets’ new-look attack would produce goals.
They had little trouble hitting the target against NPL and regional opposition and recorded a 3-1 win over Melbourne City in a friendly a fortnight ago.
He challenged the group to reproduce that slick performance against defending champions Sydney FC on Saturday and the Jets delivered with a 2-1 win at Magic Park.
Dimi Petratos put the Jets ahead in the 12thminute. His goal was cancelled out by Charles Lokolingoy in the 47th before replacement Mario Shadow (71st) scored the winner.
Apart from the goals, the Jets created numerous opportunities against a full-strength Sky Blues outfit, which conceded only 12 goals last season.
Playing in their new strip in front of a crowd of about 1500, the Jets played with power and purpose.
Keeper Glen Moss made a great one-on-one save to deny Bobo and Sydney hit the post twice, but overall the Jets deserved the win.
The home side had a goal disallowed inside 10 minutes and Roy O’Donovan had strong claims for a penalty ignored when he was felled in the box.
Petratos put the home side ahead in the 12thminute. Latching on to a piercing through ball, the winger out-paced Michael Zulo and then angled a low shot past the outstretched boot of Andrew Redmayne and into the left corner of the net.
Sydney, who had hit the woodwork early, eventually got on top and were camped in the Jets half. The home side were dangerous on the counter but struggled to play out at times.
Petratos nearly doubled the advantage on the stroke of half-time with a free-kick. His attempt from 20 metres was curling into the top left corner, but Redmayne got a finger to it.
Sydney coach Graham Arnold, with the FFA Cup quarter final against Melbourne City on Wednesday in mind, made mass changes at the break.
It took just two minutes for the new crew to strike.
The Jets were caught napping and Matt Simon got played in down the right and delivered a cross for Lokolingoy to fiinish.
The Jets controlled the remainder of the game against a “B team” which included Simon, David Carney, Seb Ryall and Paulo Retre.
The breakthrough came in the 72ndminute. Shabow got played in, showed decent pace, and then put squeezed a shot under Andrew Redmayne. The Sydney defence scrambled to clear it off the line but to no avail.
