Asian rivals ... Mariners coach Lawrie McKinna shares a light moment with Jets coach Gary van Egmond (Getty)
Newcastle Jets and Central Coast Mariners had their first mini-victory in the AFC Champions League on Wednesday night.
The draw for the first phase of the rich 32-team competition for 2009 took place in Dubai and the two Australian representatives managed to avoid holders Gamba Osaka of Japan, J.League champions Kashima Antlers and Korean champions Suwon Bluewings.
Champions Newcastle have been drawn in Group E with Korea Republic's Ulsan Hyundai, China's Beijing Guoan and Japan's Nagoya Grampus. The Jets' three rivals finished third in their domestic league.
Premiers Central Coast will play Japan's Kawasaki Frontale, Korea Republic's Pohang Steelers and China's Tianjin Teda. Kawasaki finished second in Japan, Pohang won the Korean Cup and Tianjin finished fourth.
The top two teams in each of the eight home-and-away groups starting in March will qualify for the first knockout round in June.
"I thought both ourselves and the Central Coast have done quite well," Jets coach Gary Van Egmond said from Dubai in a joint teleconference with his Mariners counterpart Lawrie McKinna.
"We did not want to end up with Kashima and Suwon. Both our groups are favourable and we are particularly happy with where we are at.
"In saying that it is still going to be a difficult task for us to get through. So for us it is important to recruit and recruit well for the Champions League which should then lead us into the 2009/10 A-League."
McKinna, who said his club had some "basic feedback" on the Mariners' group rivals, said he was happy with the draw because "it could have been a lot worse".
"All the teams in the group will be strong and obviously Kawasaki as representatives of the J.League will be very tough," McKinna said.
McKinna revealed the Mariners already had started the process of strengthening their squad thanks to his club's links with English Championship side Sheffield United.
Former Sydney FC winger David Carney figures prominently in his plans.
The Socceroo wingback, who has been out of favour at the Blades, could be enticed to return home on a loan deal.
"I will be talking to Sheffield United about maybe getting one or two of their players," he said.
"I know David is looking to get a move from his club and if he doesn't get away in the January transfer window then I will definitely try and get him on loan.
"I think playing in the ACL will be preferable to playing reserve team football.''
If the Mariners win their group they and the Jets finish second in theirs the two rivals will clash in a one-off round of 16 match at Bluetongue Stadium.
THE FULL DRAW:
Group A: Al Hilal (KSA), Bunyodkor (Uzbekistan), Al Ahli (UAE), Saba Battery (Iran).
Group B: Persepolis (Iran), Al Shabab (KSA), Al Gharafa (Qatar), Qualifier.
Group C: Al Jazira (UAE), Esteghlal (Iran), Al Ittihad (KSA), Umm Salal (Qatar).
Group D: Pakhtakor (Uzbekistan), Al Shabab (UAE), Sepahan (Iran), Al Ettifaq (KSA).
Group E: Ulsan Hyundai (Korea), Newcastle Jets (Australia), Beijing Guoan (China), Nagoya Grampus (Japan)
Group F: Gamba Osaka (Japan), FC Seoul (Korea), Sriwijaya (Indonesia), Shandong Luneng (China).
Group G: Shanghai Shenhua (China), Kashima Antlers (Japan), Qualifier, Suwon Bluewings (Korea).
Group H: Central Coast Mariners (Australia), Tianjin Teda (China), Kawasaki Frontale (Japan), Pohang Steelers (Korea).

yeah he would be
maybe coaches need to think about playing these sorts of guys for about 60 minutes rather than 90, that gives a better chance for their body to hold up to it - the aleague hasnt got many games but it is very physical and the better players are always targeted - just look at hernandez against adelaide this week
i dont know if he would be a flop, but it is a risk

(I'm sure he isnt skint but a big dent in the wallet none the less)
He needs a big pay day to finish the career
