Match5 Dec 2026

No end in sight to Macarthur FC's wait for a win

7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Macarthur FC has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Max Vartuli stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Ryan Fraser runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 26. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Player ratings7 Dec 2026

Mitchell Duke, 35, rolls back the years — 7.85

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.85 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Macarthur FC

Ji Dong-Won and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Harry Politidis signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Harry Politidis and Macarthur FC agree another 3 years.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Words at Macarthur FC training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Harry Politidis is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout7 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Liam Rose

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match5 Dec 2026

Mitchell Duke rescues a point for Macarthur FC

It needed Mitchell Duke to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Newcastle Jets, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Match24 Oct 2026

Brisbane Roar take the points off Macarthur FC

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Macarthur FC

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Harry Politidis was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Too much change too quickly at Macarthur FC

13 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Dean Stewart: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Boardroom26 Oct 2026

Macarthur FC say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.
