Match

15 matches without a win for Perth Glory

The run now stands at 15, and the questions being asked around Perth Glory are no longer polite ones.

Squad

A falling-out at Perth Glory

Tom Lawrence and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Perth Glory

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

Match

Arion Sulemani’s goal not enough for Perth Glory

Arion Sulemani scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Wellington Phoenix, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

Perth Glory count the cost of losing Patrick Beath

21 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout

Luke Roberts faces the questions

“We were not good enough today and I am not going to dress it up.” Luke Roberts after 1‑2, in the tone of a man who knows the next question and does not intend to answer it.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Brian Kaltak

“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.

The dugout

Sam Sutton has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Perth Glory will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad

Arion Sulemani is off the mark for Perth Glory

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

Match

The wait goes on for Perth Glory

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Match

6 matches without a goal for Perth Glory

The chances are being made and something is happening between the making and the finishing. 6 matches now, and the anxiety in the ground arrives a little earlier every week.

Boardroom

Luke Roberts signs on for the long haul

Perth Glory moved before anybody else could: a new deal for Luke Roberts, agreed quietly and announced loudly. Boards extend managers for many reasons; the good one is the one this looks like.

Squad

A falling-out at Perth Glory

Tom Lawrence and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Perth Glory

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Tristan Byrne joins the Perth Glory first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Tristan Byrne is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Perth Glory promote Adam Gordon from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Adam Gordon has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Aaron Moore joins the Perth Glory first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Aaron Moore is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Jesse Spencer joins the Perth Glory first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jesse Spencer is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
