Cameron Cook keeps Macarthur FC in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 8 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

A fracture rules Zane Helweh out for 48 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Macarthur FC will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Tempers go at Macarthur FC
Tomislav Uskok 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.

Graduation day at Macarthur FC
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.

Jackson Brown steps up from the Macarthur FC academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jackson Brown 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.

One of our own: Hugh Cooper joins the Macarthur FC first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Hugh Cooper is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Mitchell Duke the difference as Macarthur FC beat Brisbane Roar
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mitchell Duke. 1‑0 against Brisbane Roar, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
Player ratings26 Oct 2026
Ryan Fraser was unplayable
Successful dribbles: 16. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

12 new faces, and Macarthur FC are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
In brief
- The dugout The manager’s verdict
- Boardroom Macarthur FC say no to the training-ground money
