Player ratings7 Jan 2030

Both of them Haine Eames's — 8.51

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.51, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings7 Jan 2030

Ryan Fraser, 35, rolls back the years — 8.61

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.61 at 35, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Angus Thurgate is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Western Sydney Wanderers will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Match5 Jan 2030

Western Sydney Wanderers cannot stop winning

4 wins on the spin now, and the question has changed from whether the run ends to who ends it. Confidence like this cannot be bought; it has to be earned exactly this way.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Liam Gordon keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Western Sydney Wanderers may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Joel Anasmo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joel Anasmo commits to Western Sydney Wanderers for another 4 years.

Squad7 Jan 2030

Tempers go at Western Sydney Wanderers

Ryan Fraser 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.

Match5 Jan 2030

Nobody wins at Western Sydney Wanderers

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Market7 Jan 2030

Sydney FC join the queue for Matt Dench

Add another name to the list: Sydney FC have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Matt Dench. The answer from Western Sydney Wanderers has not changed — yet.

Squad26 Nov 2029

A fracture rules Josh Brillante out for 37 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Western Sydney Wanderers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match21 Nov 2029

The small margins put Western Sydney Wanderers out

Out, 1‑1 to Macarthur FC, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Noah James is the hero from the spot

A shoot-out is remembered by its ending, and this one ends with Noah James: 1 kept out, and a set of supporters who will describe every one of them for the next twenty years.

Match24 Nov 2029

11 unbeaten for Western Sydney Wanderers

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Western Sydney Wanderers did not have in the autumn.

Player ratings26 Nov 2029

Age has not caught Brandon Borrello yet — 7.84

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.84 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad26 Nov 2029

Tempers go at Western Sydney Wanderers

Ryan Fraser 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.

Player ratings26 Nov 2029

Ryan Fraser runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The terraces26 Nov 2029

The crowd has taken to Liam Gordon

At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match24 Nov 2029

Alou Kuol sends Western Sydney Wanderers past Sydney FC

It finished 1‑0, and it was Alou Kuol’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Western Sydney Wanderers.

A fracture rules Aidan Simmons out for 72 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Western Sydney Wanderers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market25 Jun 2029

Peter Dakka hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Western Sydney Wanderers can pretend not to have heard.

Match11 Jun 2029

Western Sydney Wanderers are in among the leaders

Position 2 and 38 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.

Squad11 Jun 2029

A fracture rules Éric Mefoe out for 98 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Western Sydney Wanderers will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Market11 Jun 2029

Western Sydney Wanderers sell Grant White for $290.0K

Grant White has left for Sydney FC in a $290.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Brandon Borrello 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.

Squad11 Jun 2029

Richard Nkomo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Richard Nkomo and Western Sydney Wanderers agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
