Match27 Nov 2027

Newcastle Jets bow out of the cup

Macarthur FC go through and Newcastle Jets go home, 1‑0 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Sam Hunter keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Newcastle Jets may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market29 Nov 2027

Only the photograph left for Alex Nassiep

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Alex Nassiep will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Newcastle Jets the goodbyes have quietly begun.

A falling-out at Newcastle Jets

Harry Souttar and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match27 Nov 2027

Newcastle Jets end the wait against Macarthur FC

It had gone 5 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

One of those days for Deklan Payne

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.05, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

Benjamin Halloran beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 17. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Lachlan Rose

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings29 Nov 2027

The afternoon belonged to Daniel Wilmering

A mark of 7.98, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The terraces14 Jun 2027

Supporters turn on the $1.4M sale of Patrick Wood

He is going to Central Coast Mariners, the club has $1.4M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Market14 Jun 2027

Alex Nunes asks to leave Newcastle Jets

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Makai Welch at Newcastle Jets

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Makai Welch is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market14 Jun 2027

Alex Nassiep has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Newcastle Jets they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

No thanks: Louis Page rejects the move

Newcastle Jets had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Leicester City, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Market14 Jun 2027

Patrick Wood moves on

Central Coast Mariners pay $1.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Newcastle Jets

James Delianov and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

Door shut on Matthew Young

Newcastle Jets asked and Sunderland said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Clayton Taylor falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Zach Clough signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Zach Clough and Newcastle Jets agree another 3 years.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $150.0K for Joey Garuccio

Newcastle Jets have gone to Adelaide United with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Newcastle Jets

Harry Sawyer and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Newcastle Jets rebuffed over Alby Kelly-Heald

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wellington Phoenix have kept their man, and Newcastle Jets go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Newcastle Jets promote Sam Hunter from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sam Hunter has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Newcastle Jets promote Matt Parker from within

One of our own: Mitchell Davis joins the Newcastle Jets first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Mitchell Davis is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Grant Murray joins the Newcastle Jets first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Grant Murray is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Newcastle Jets

25 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.
