Haven't been beaten by the Gypsies in something like 711 days and something that will hopefully continue Smile

Keeping a clean sheet will be absolutely key for us. Hopefully Aloisi is out through injury as we all know how much of a threat he is.

1 - 0 win Jets, Griffo to score.

Impending stats, facts and trivia
In terms of previous finals experience in both the Hyundai A-League and the old NSL, the Newcastle Jets and Central Coast Mariners have overall similar records. While Newcastle can call upon more players in its squad with some form of Australian finals experience (14 Jets players have played in finals campaigns before, compared with 12 for the Mariners), the combined finals appearances of Central Coast players (175 finals matches) is actually higher than Newcastle's (128). Newcastle are entering their third Hyundai A-League final's campaign while the Mariners have been in the Finals Series just once previously.

Final Score
Newcastle jets 2-0 Central Coast Mariners
i was close with the prediction
the griffiths brothers have pretty much put the jets into the grand final (the only way they cannot get to the grand final is if central coast beat them 3-0 next week which i think is unlikely)
Adam Griffiths scoring first in the 22nd minute
Brother Joel scoring in the 85th of a penalty kick

looks like Newcastle will be playing sydney in the final Wink
