Squad

Tempers go at Perth Glory

Jonty Bidois 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Daniel Gordon at Perth Glory

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Gordon is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Stefan Colakovski

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

The terraces

Perth Glory supporters have found a favourite in Kavian Rahmani

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Kavian Rahmani 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.

Match

Perth Glory find a way past Macarthur FC

Macarthur FC made Perth Glory work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings

Henry Hore stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.88 on the card, and the Perth Glory support went home talking about one name.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Perth Glory

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout

Rodrigo Costa has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Rodrigo Costa on a 1‑0 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

Squad

Andriano Lebib 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.

Squad

Real improvement from Liam Jackson at Perth Glory

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Liam Jackson is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad

Jonty Bidois 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 Perth Glory this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

A row about effort at Perth Glory

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

Squad

Daniel Gordon signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Daniel Gordon and Perth Glory agree another 4 years.

The dugout

No hiding place for Kostas Argyropoulos

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

The dugout

Anthony Didulica has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Anthony Didulica has written the date down.

In brief
