Match24 Oct 2026

Nowhere to hide for Brisbane Roar

1‑4 against Macarthur FC, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Jay O'Shea out for 18 days

The medical room confirms 18 days on the sidelines for Jay O'Shea, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Luke Brattan 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 Brisbane Roar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Blake Roberts is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 14 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Boardroom26 Oct 2026

Graduation day at Brisbane Roar

2 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.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Craig Goodwin falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market26 Oct 2026

Hugh Stewart steps up from the Brisbane Roar academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Hugh Stewart 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.

Market26 Oct 2026

Brisbane Roar promote Cameron Russell from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Cameron Russell 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.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Joel King

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

Jordan Lauton is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Ashton Rinaldo turns down Brisbane Roar

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: another club keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Brisbane Roar

Luke Brattan was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Luke Brattan has improved at 36, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Brisbane Roar

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

Market5 Oct 2026

Still no ink between Brisbane Roar and Craig Goodwin

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Brisbane Roar, another week without a signature from Craig Goodwin.
