That late in the pre season, the time for intra-club trials has passed its usefulness imo.
Much rather be warming up against other A-League sides.

A-League teams give you dual advantages in both getting 'competitive mins' in to players legs for match fitness as well as a true reflection of where your squad is at, in regards to getting results against your 'real world' opponents.

An 'intra-club' game of your starting XI v your 2nd-stringers allows for the final sharpening of tactics that Okon or any Coach may have been keeping close to their chest & not showing pre-season opposition in those games, as well as lessening chances of injuries from real opposition players fighting for places.

Wouldn't be surprised if Okon plays one of these 'intra's' as the final session just before Rnd:1, honing his patterns of play.

Maybe Merrick thinks Newcastle are where he wants after their win over SydFC & a "3 game in a week - tired" Wellington.

Doesn't give new signing, Ronnie Vargas much hope of bedding in, with his only taste of the A-League coming from playing against his team mates in a non-combative friendly

..... he last played back in ..... May !

I can't see their new import doing too much if that's his first ever game with the team. Still I think they look much much better with him in the squad.
Very very slow at the back. Wil not play a high line which should leave space for our midfielders to exploit and get it into DeSilva. If they do play high then our quick guys like Pain Appiah Buhagiar will kill them down the wings. We should also monster them in midfield with Hiarjei and Brama against Brown and Kantarovski.

I don't like Asdrubal's chances of an easy game against hyphen and boogs. He'll more than likely get hacked to pieces. A welcome to Aus. Hoping to see some fire in this.

Lawrie McKinna confirmed today that Roy O'Donovan is a Jets Marquee player

To the tune of TOM JONES - Delilah

Why? Why? Why? O`Donovan
You said, Good- bye O`Donovan
You went out of the door,
We don`t love you no more
You`re just a Scummer, you`re just a football whore
You`re just a Scummer, you`re just a football whore

ODONOVAN !!

I think you misread that,

Lawrie was only confirming that Roy is living in a 'tent'

hooley shit, that's the most glorious thing I've ever seen....

Scum depth to be tested over the next month. Georgievski out for a month at least. They lose a lot of pace in their back line without him.

They need Adelson/Cowburn to step up or they will be in trouble I think. Hoffman is nowhere near A-League quality at right back.

I was surprised they put Hoffman straight in. With Adelson getting game time pre season I thought he would have been right for a go.
what I would give to have Adelson in our side right now

Ok I admit I haven`t kept up with all the latest rule changes/interpretations etc. but can someone explain to me why Roy O`Donovan wasn`t off-side for his first goal against Wellington?
Wasn`t he "Goal Hanging" as described in the rules?
And none of the commentators said a word against him.
Very strange.

There's nothing in the laws about goal hanging.
For offside, there needs to be a 2nd attacker involved. "...in an offside position when the ball is last touched or played by a teammate"
In this instance, there was no teammate.
Also, it was a defensive pass. Can't be offside when the defence has controlled the ball anyway.
Make sense?

Having said that, O'Donovan scores. Runs off with his shirt over his head.

This is a mandatory f****** booking. God, the refereeing is just getting worse and worse.
It's like they're not even pretending to do their job anymore.

Hey Gus ,thanks for that.
I found the2017 FIFA Rules etc. & you`re 100% correct.
The rule book I looked at clearly had the opposite so it must have been outdated.

So....Jets are in first place.........

 

[Insertnamehere]

Jets are the real deal this year. Jets and merrick are a match made in heaven atm.
See how they go for 27 rounds, nix seemed that way too.

 

[Pirate Pete]

I watched a bit of the game on Saturday.
The bit where some Irish bloke missed a couple of sitters and elbowed someone the head to get a yellow card.

Agree it was good to see the Roy of old miss some sitters, they are playing with confidence and some luck but more importantly taking the chances when presented like the two poor back passs in two weeks. Next few rounds will be a good test especially a SFC coming off a flogging by the mighty Mariners, we couldn’t have planed it better.

Definitely will be in the 6 this year, if not they should hand in their HAL license.
