From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

Matthew Sutton 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.

Squad

The step up is real for Grant Harrison

At 14 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Perth Glory

4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market

Perth Glory promote Declan Gallagher from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Declan Gallagher 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: Callum Thomas joins the Perth Glory first team

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

Josh Crawford steps up from the Perth Glory academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Josh Crawford has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Kai Walsh joins the Perth Glory first team

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

Squad

A falling-out at Perth Glory

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

Squad

Perth Glory are still strangers to each other

11 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief
