Round Ten Report

Best of Round Ten:

Player: Nick Carle, Newcastle - the fantastic game-clinching goal demonstrated his determination to succeed and capped off a solid all-round effort

U-20 Player: Alex Vrteski, Perth - back in goals following Petkovic's leg break means he's back on track for the Rising Star Award

Coach: Gary Van Egmond, Newcastle - has he fired-up the Jets or what?

Match: Newcastle Jets vs Adelaide United

Goal: Nick Carle, Newcastle - shades of Saeed Owairan's box-to-box gallop for Saudi Arabia in a 1994 World Cup match against Belgium; not quite the evasion required for that effort, but similarly done at a scintillating pace - in the 90th minute! - and with a sharp, cunning finish

4-4-2 Team of the Week:

Archie Thompson - Yuning Zhang
Adrian Caceres - Nick Carle - Grant Brebner - Joel Griffiths
Matt Thompson - Andrew Durante - Alex Wilkinson - Andrew Packer
Danny Vukovic

Subs: Alex Vrteski, Wayne O'Sullivan, Fred, Reinaldo

Hi James

I thought Zhang ran out of petrol a bit and was replaced early. Reinaldo got a full game and was brilliant. This year he has come out of his box and shown a totally different and physical Brazilian style to our eyes. Plus his goal celebration is the best in the league. In fact I'm a little tired of the agressive corner flag fight we see from others.
