8pm NZT kickoff in this one. Newcastle up 2-0 from first leg. Winner into Grand Final, loser hosts Queensland next weekend in a one-off match for the second place in the final.
CCM need to score twice to force extra-time; if Jets score, CCM need to score four because of away goals rule.
Jets have won their last four games; CCM have just one win in their last five.
New Korean signing Song Jin-Hyung gets his first start for Jets.

Interesting: just watching the SBS football show in which ex-Oz international Craig Foster gave his A-League 'style guide', ie, the best football-playing teams. He put Qld and Newcastle way ahead of the other 6 teams, while CCM were 3rd last.
Phoenix he had 5th, and said how much he's enjoyed watching them this season, especially Felipe and Daniel. For the record:
Qld
Newcastle
Melbourne
Adelaide
Phoenix
CCM
Sydney (who he said were awful to watch - bit harsh!)
Perth

Foster... 
I mean, he spent half of last year making a twat of himself advocating Branko Culina coaching Sydney (a fellow SBS employee) then once he get's there he makes comments like that about Sydney ?
He really is just a joke and SBS has become completely irrelevant... don't even start me on Les Murray. See his latest piece ? My IQ dropped just reading it.

SBS's always been a bit of a smug boys club. It's the only thing we've got on free to air in the way of serious football analysis. Culina's comments were almost cretinous, so it was no surprise whatsoever to me that he failed miserably with Sydney.

Griffiths is a fascinating and complex personality. Saw an in-depth TV piece on him last week. He likes to cook steak for tea, and he likes playing computer games. Awesome.

If there was justice (or competent officials) it would go to Griffiths, J.
