Stynes, who joined the Jets from Perth, tapped in a Trent Buhagiar cross in the second minute.
From there, it became little more than a training run against the amateur outfit.
Buhagiar was a constant threat with his pace and laid on goals for Stynes and Mikeltadze.
When Stynes put away a rebound from a saved Buhagiar shot, it was 7-0 after 21 minutes.
Former Arsenal and England defender Carl Jenkinson made his first appearance for the Jets, playing alongside Matt Jurman for the opening 30 minutes.
Callum Timmins and Reno Piscopo did not feature.
The friendly, watched by a crowd of about 2500, was the culmination of a five-day training camp, featuring double sessions each day and workshops in the evening.
Included in the squad were triallists, Zach Lisolajski, Joey Jevtic, Stefan Brecevic and youth team players Peter Grozos and Ben Van Dorssen.
The Jets have trials against Sydney and Macarthur earmarked for the next fortnight.
