Player ratings

Rhys Harris, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.00

A mark of 8.00 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Harrison Devenish-Meares asks to leave Perth Glory

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The dugout

Anthony Didulica: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Perth Glory have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Boardroom

the manager signs on for the long haul

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

Match

Perth Glory make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Perth Glory have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad

Matthew Sutton in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Perth Glory this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Graduation day at Perth Glory

7 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Rhys Harris

He is 19 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Grant Campbell sends Perth Glory past Auckland FC

It finished 2‑0, and it was Grant Campbell’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Perth Glory.

In brief
