91 days out for Zach Clough after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Newcastle Jets will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match24 Oct 2026
Nowhere to hide for Newcastle Jets
0‑5 against Melbourne City, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Mitchell Roberts is a better footballer than he was

Newcastle Jets promote Reece Moore from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Reece Moore 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.

Words at Newcastle Jets training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Lachlan Rose is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Doors closed at Newcastle Jets
The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.
In brief
