Show Preview
A traditional F3 Derby will kick off the Newcastle Jets and Central Coast Mariners’ seasons in the Hunter, with bragging rights up for grabs in the opening round of the new A-League Men season. Join The Roar for live scores from 4:05pm (AEDT).
After a miserable 2020-21 where only the pathetic play of Melbourne Victory saved them from the wooden spoon, Newcastle have had their prospects brightened by some exciting new signings and decent pre-season form.
A total of 15 players departed the Jets during the off-season and another 12 have now signed on the make the difference the fans long to see. Georgian Beka Mikeltadze and Cameroon International Olivier Boumal look dynamic A-League additions and all the talk around Newcastle has been the discipline and commitment demanded by new manager Arthur Papas.
Blending his squad will be key, as will be the case for Nick Montgomery on the Central Coast.
After losing much quality and off the back of a brilliant season under Alen Stajcic, the new manager will be hoping Frenchman Beni Nkololo and Japanese Cy Goddard can fill the gaps created by the departures and that the Mariners can continue to re-invigorate football on the Central Coast of New South Wales with another competitive season.
A third place finish in 2020-21 will be tough to emulate, yet if the Mariners even dream of doing so, a win against their derby rival is a must on the opening day of the season.
