Match22 Jan 2033

Perth Glory run riot against Macarthur FC

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

3 goals for Grant Campbell

The match ball belongs to Grant Campbell, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Player ratings24 Jan 2033

No sign of nerves from Grant Campbell at 19 — 9.16

The hardest thing about being 19 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Grant Campbell did not need any: 9.16, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Perth Glory supporters have found a favourite in Adam Johnston

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Adam Johnston has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Match22 Jan 2033

Grant Campbell at the heart of a fast Perth Glory start

2 goals inside twenty minutes with Grant Campbell in the middle of it, and Macarthur FC unable to get near the ball long enough to change anything. Some matches are won before the first drink.

Squad24 Jan 2033

Words exchanged at Perth Glory

Anthony Didulica and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Kye Phillips signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Kye Phillips and Perth Glory agree another 3 years.

The dugout24 Jan 2033

The manager’s verdict

“I am not going to get carried away and I will not let them either. It was a good day. There will be harder ones.” Kevin Falcao kept it short after the 4‑0 win, which is what managers do when they are happy.

The dugout24 Jan 2033

Matthew Sutton gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Matthew Sutton is on it.

Words exchanged at Perth Glory

Clayton Taylor and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Perth Glory promote Kye Phillips from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Kye Phillips 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: Caleb King joins the Perth Glory first team

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

Market13 Oct 2031

Perth Glory promote Ethan Palmer from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ethan Palmer 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.

Market13 Oct 2031

Adrian Ward steps up from the Perth Glory academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Adrian Ward 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.

Squad13 Oct 2031

Rhys Harris signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Rhys Harris commits to Perth Glory for another 4 years.

The dugout13 Oct 2031

Alex Badolato asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad13 Oct 2031

Words at Perth Glory training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Blake Kennedy 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 dugout13 Oct 2031

The manager makes an example of Blake Kennedy

“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.
