Lets go out on a limb and prematurely put down that we are also the 2010-11 champions?


I posted this earlier. Its good news for the football in the Hunter regions and all other important regions north of Sydney.

First off, thanks Marconi for starting another one.

Anyway, I've seen this new chant against the heart floating around. I think it's alright but anyway what do you guys think. It helps if your familiar with You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi cos its based off the intro I'm pretty sure. Alright so here it is.

We hate the heart,
Their name's so lame,
They give the league a bad name,

And then you chant the guitar solo and then it goes back to the same thing but different words.

We hate the heart,
And their to blame,
They stole Matt Thompson,

Then the guitar solo chant.

We love the heart,
And their to thank,
Cos they stole Hoffman,

Anyway I think it's alright I thought the Hoffman part at the end was pretty funny. I dunno who wrote it I've seen it in various places.

Wow 4-0. I can't look at the Twitter page cos im on my school laptop and its blocked. So can you guys tell me like the scorers etc. Cheers.

Well done Jets.

Jesic to take the free kicks? thats two now?

Nvm found this on the jets site 1 - 0 - Ali Abbas 12'

2 - 0 - Sean Rooney 24'

3 - 0 - Nikolai Topor-Stanley 32'

4 - 0 Marko Jesic 59'

Match report to follow


Lol at Topor.

First one was a fairly lucky deflection, but why not? Honestly he couldn't be any worse than Song was...

Yea Song was a bit weird. He scored two great free kicks against Australia and then he came here and wasn't hitting them very well until the end of last season, he forced a couple of great saves from the keepers. And I was standing behind the goals in Jesic's first free kick and I didn't even notice the deflection. I don't think it changed the direction of the ball very much.

Incredibly Toppa scored with his feet, sorta shows you how poor he is at heading towards goal :lol:

solid result boys

we got a starting team

FWIW I was at the side level with the 18 yard line at that end, was a notable deflection because it slowed down a lot, goalkeeper badly wrongfooted. Sounds like his stike tonight was waymore impressive.

Starting line up is looking like

---------BK

Takka-Ljubo-Toppa-Puz

---Wherman---Kanta

Abbas-bridge-Jesic

------Haliti

Subs Keepers
Hendo/Young

Backs
Regean/ Zadkovic/ Mooy

DM
Zadkovic/ Wheelhouse

Mids
fiorentini/ Kaz

Forwars
Sash/ Rooney/ Brokie

That's probably what we will see against Adelaide i should think? In terms of a starting line up.

8 days :D

Assuming Brockie and Dapuzzo stay injured then we'll probably see this against Adelaide.
--------------Haliti--------------
Abbas---------Bridges--------Jesic
-------Kanta----------Wehrman-----
Zadko-----Topor-----Ljubo----Elrich
--------------Kennedy-------------

Subs:
Hendo
Marcello
Rooney
Petrovski

jaga messaged me from the game, said the kick was beckham-style, curling into the top corner... awesome.

i also didn't notice the deflection in the nnsw game.
either way that's two more goals than song ever scored from free kicks :)

i'd like to see rooney start at the point.
he and bridges were linking up well towards the end of the regular season last year.

I like haliti, but feel that after bursting into the league, kind of dropped off as the season went on.

Rooney looked very poor when he came back from injury. But before his injury was always dangerous but his finishing was poor. He'd be better off the bench as his speed could make an impact late in the game. I'd bring him on for Haliti in about the 60th minute.

Edited by Jets_Fan: 29/7/2010 11:12:01 AM

+1

I think Haliti has it over Rooney ATM. After watching his interplay and footwork against United I think he is going to be brilliant this year.


Can't wait for Adelaide. I'm going to have to purchase some cold beverages to store in my Refrigerator prior to kick off.

8 Days is to long!

Yea my mate pointed out to me earlier at school (i love school laptops during science) that the first game is next week. Im so pumped now. Can't wait till Heart in 2 weeks.

Need an extra syllable on the last line of the second two verses or it will just sound wrong.

Because you guys stole Thompson/Hoffman

Better?

So how many people are making the trip down to Adelaide for the game??

Trying to decide whether to buy in away supporters bay or just go in general admission with better seats

Well you could extend the Matt over 2 syllables. As in you change the pitch halfway.

Forgot to post this article old news but is a detailed match report.
A spirited Rockdale City Suns took on the Newcastle Jets on a wet synthetic pitch at Seymour Shore tonight. Despite an energetic start, the Newcastle Jets quickly took control and began to dominate possession. An early scare in the 4th minute saw some strong defence by Ruben Zadkovich to deny Rockdale an early scoring opportunity. The Newcastle Jets then settled down and began to string together a confident passing game which translated to some positive field possession.



In the tenth minute, the Newcastle Jets fired their first shot in anger after a nice build up resulted in a Michael Bridges shot which went narrowly wide. The early warning shot was a sign of things to come and it wasn’t long before the deadlock was broken. Another positive build up by the Jets saw Marko Jesic’s shot saved by the keeper but a pouncing Ali Abbas took advantage of a fallen keeper and he safely tucked the ball away in the 12th minute.

As the rain continued to fall, the Newcastle Jets continued to dominate with a number of half chances with another Michael bridges effort again narrowly going past the post. In the 25th minute, the small crowd were treated to a classy chip from the edge of the box by Sean Rooney which resulted in Newcastle’s second goal. This was followed by a third to the Jets via Nikolai Topper Stanley, who pushed up for a free kick which was taken by Kasey Wehrman and nodded down by Jobe Wheelhouse for Topper Stanley to finish.

In the late stages of the first half, the Newcastle defence was rarely troubled outside of a free kick which was safely handled by keeper Ben Kennedy. The Newcastle Jets almost scored a fourth goal on the stroke of half time after a confident Marco Jesic shot wide. The teams then went to the break with the Newcastle Jets leading 3 goals to nil.

The Newcastle Jets made two half time changes with Mario Simic and Tarek Elrich replacing Kasey Wehrman and Brodie Mooy. The half began much like the first with Rockdale having the first opportunity with a shot from the right hand side forcing Ben Kennedy to make a regulation save sprawling himself across his goal. This was the last action that Ben Kennedy would be involved in with Branko Culina taking the opportunity in the 51st minute to give Paul Henderson some game time between the posts.

The Newcastle Jets immediately regained control and again commenced to dominate the second half. The Newcastle Jets were awarded a free kick on the edge of the box in the 53rd minute and Marko Jesic stepped up to take responsibility. His strong curling free kick was parried around the post by the Rockdale keeper but Marko Jesic certainly made his intentions known that he was hungry to score a goal. In the 59th minute, the Newcastle Jets were awarded another free kick on the edge of the box and this time Jesic made no mistake driving a right footed cracker into the roof of the net.

With the game well and truly in control, the Newcastle Jets made additional substitutions in 58th, 60th and 61st minutes with Fiorentini, Patafta, Regan, Haliti and Petrovski all getting some valuable game time. Rockdale City continued to try hard but the supremacy of their A-League counterparts was obvious despite forcing a strong saves out of Newcastle Jets keeper, Paul Henderson, in the 78th and 80th minutes. Kaz Patafta almost got his name on the scorers list when his shot was saved by young Rockdale City keeper, James Cane.

The closing minutes of the match saw the Newcastle Jets ease off the pressure until the final whistle with the Newcastle Jets winning the match 4 goals to nil. After the match, Branko Culina stated “It was alright, we did enough, I am happy to see us playing with a bit more tempo but once we got two or three in front bit was a bit easy. He went on to state “we still have a lot of improvement left, the positive is that we trialled two different formations and everybody got some game time. That is important because there are still positions up for grabs and it is important that we played the two formations”.

Captain Michael Bridges stated “A good game to finish the preseason but we are expected to win these games. However, it was good to see that we did not concede a goal which was a result of a stronger defensive shape than last season.

The Newcastle Jets next match will be the opening round of the A-League in Adelaide on August 6th.
