Squad

A one-man rearguard from Alby Kelly-Heald

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad

Alby Kelly-Heald 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 Macarthur FC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Ben Gibson

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

No hiding place for Harry Politidis

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

Match

A bad afternoon for Macarthur FC against Brisbane Roar

0‑1 to Brisbane Roar, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market

Macarthur FC sign Michael McCallum, one for the future

Michael McCallum is 17, and Macarthur FC have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market

Macarthur FC buy the years ahead of Mitchell Scott

He is 16, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
