Squad

James Delianov stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The dugout

Noah Wallace 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.

Market

Brandon Comley 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.

Squad

Tempers go at Newcastle Jets

Clayton Taylor was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

Newcastle Jets come up short against Melbourne City

Melbourne City left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

In brief
