The Adelaide United deal is off
Everything was agreed until it was not, and Bonphas Munyasa reports back to Perth Glory with a summer to forget. Neither club is saying who walked away from the table.

A falling-out at Perth Glory
Matthew Sutton and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

One of our own: Thomas Baker joins the Perth Glory first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Thomas Baker is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Perth Glory promote Jake Price from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jake Price 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.

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

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Bailey O'Neil, and the manager let it.

When it matters, Trent Ostler plays

A door opens for Blake Walsh
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Perth Glory keep producing them
74 graduates from an academy now rated 11 out of 20. A club this size does not survive any other way, and every name on that list is known in the town.
In brief
- The dugout Will Kennedy keeps his manager's vote
- Squad Will Kennedy is the talk of the training ground
