And those that enjoyed last season can look forward to more of the same this season if that game is anything to go by.
No different from thousands of Kiwis who prefer Gold Coast to Wellington in the off season.

Oi Oi Edgecumbe Pennington and Old appear to be holidaying North of Auckland, too, so it's looking like they might all be enjoying a few days off.
I've got to say, though, I cringe at seeing Zawada buying into the superior Australian weather narrative. Wonder which team will offer him the best sea views on a subsidised lease if he plays well this season?

The wife and I tried Rarotonga for two weeks in August. Cheaper than Aussie, very laid back, and uses NZ currency. Had a wonderful time.
zonknz We always play against Jets, CCM and Sydney when we go.
Fold the club.

Just miss the playoffs, I don't mind as long as we have a chance going into the last round even if it requires an unlikely sequence of results.
Will the womens team score more points than the men despite playing 4 less games?

I think that you're being too negative at this point. If Zawada scores 15 goals again. If Kraev can be better managed and maintain his form throughout the season. If Ball, who may not be the Captain, but is the team leader can stay fit. If we learn from our preseason and defend the flanks well. Then top 3.
Too many ifs, and too few players but now is not the time to be negative.

Just from the way he ran at the defence, he looked like Ben Old.
cheesecake Thanks for this, great work from Kraev for the first!
MetalLegNZ Thought his suspension didnt finish till after the season had started.
Friar Tuck I'm almost certain he is available round 1. Remember hearing that from Chiefy on youtube a while back
Friar Tuck Technically is this a club stand down or an actual ban?
Who has the jurisdiction on enforcing a ban across different governing bodies?

Who has the jurisdiction on enforcing a ban across different governing bodies? Ban was enforced by the club i think? Not as certain about that one. It also meant they didn't sign him as early as they would have - so payed him less
Ranix It's today.
Has Conchie finished his ban yet?
I remember reading his ban extends until the start of the A-League season. He will be available for selection for that first game
It finished 3-1 after the 3rd 'half' but it was national league (nix) v Cap prem (oly) by that point. it was 2-0 at the end of the 90; Kosta was the other scorer, just before the 90th minute.

I see Zawada is insta posting from the Gold Coast. Have we got a game over there?

Do we have some preseason hit outs coming up?
Not that I want to call the boys back from holiday, but I do wanna get the football reports side of things rolling.

Was told they were heading to NSW to play a couple of sides, Newcastle & another that escapes the mind.

Anyone know anything more about these games?

Today game
Fold the club.

Wellington Phoenix drew 2-2 with Newcastle Jets in their A-League Men pre-season match in Australua today. Bozhidar Kraev with one goal and the other was an OG.

Season predictions, everyone?
Anywhere between 6th to 12th for me.
Anywhere between 6th to 12th for me.
It will be a dissapointing season on the ladder - but an exciting season for a bunch of kiwi youth's
just for a bit fo balance I'm picking us to sit solidly 4th or 5th.
anywhere 3rd to 6th is my bet.
8-10, but have no basis of that as I’ve no idea what the opposition have done. Feels like the whole league has got significantly weaker.
A bit worried about how thin our squad is in some places, but certainly looking forward to seeing the next generation force their way into the XI and knock off some more established names
yeah I'm going 10th, and I'm not particularly mad about that either

Quick question
Who was the lad who forced the own goal against Newcastle?
Nice little dribble.

Not only is this a young squad, but this must have been our weakest pre-season. Might be a slow start to the season.
As for predictions, most of the league is weakened and following a similar path to us. Those comments from Rudan about the A-League not being able to attract the talent it once did with the wages it pays seems pretty true.
Only two teams are using their 5 import slots.
I'd say top four is not realistic this season, but a finals berth should be.

Yeah, he was definitely moving with that hunched-forward posture and at least seemed to have an 8 on his back.
Where did you guys see the footage of this game?
The club posted an exceedingly minimalist highlights reel – 24sec inclusive of the intro – on their YouTube channel. Ranix also provided a Facebook link containing one of the Newcastle goals partway up this page of the thread.

Any news if Conchie got a run or is even allowed to yet?

Conchie is fully involved in training and can participate in any non-competitive games.
His ban is just for competitive games and ends round 1 (can’t remember if that means he can play R1 or has to wait for R2, I think he’s available for R1 though)
