1 academy players handed senior numbers at Newcastle Jets
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Patrick Wood’s goal not enough for Newcastle Jets
Patrick Wood scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Melbourne City, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The manager makes an example of Joe Shaughnessy
“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.

One of our own: Eli Murphy joins the Newcastle Jets first team

Patrick Wood finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Newcastle Jets have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Richard Nkomo dropped after a run of poor form
The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.
