Match29 Dec 2029

11 matches without a win for Adelaide United

The run now stands at 11, and the questions being asked around Adelaide United are no longer polite ones.

Match31 Dec 2029

Every point is an argument now for Adelaide United

Position 12 and 1 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

The dugout31 Dec 2029

Cameron Cook: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Adelaide United have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market31 Dec 2029

Ajak Riak has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Adelaide United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad31 Dec 2029

Dylan Pierias 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 Adelaide United this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad31 Dec 2029

Nikos Vergos 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.

Player ratings31 Dec 2029

Nobody could get near Lachlan Rose

Successful dribbles: 20. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match29 Dec 2029

Adelaide United come up short against Wellington Phoenix

Wellington Phoenix left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Dec 2029

The manager makes an example of Akol Akon

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Match22 Dec 2029

No end in sight to Adelaide United's wait for a win

10 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Adelaide United has to find a result from somewhere.

Match22 Dec 2029

No clean sheets in sight for Adelaide United

10 games now with at least two against. The back line has been rearranged, the goalkeeper has been backed publicly, and the goals keep going in anyway.

Squad24 Dec 2029

A one-man rearguard from Joshua Smits

There were 7 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.

Squad24 Dec 2029

Words exchanged at Adelaide United

Nikos Vergos and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad24 Dec 2029

A row about effort at Adelaide United

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

Match22 Dec 2029

Adelaide United come up short against Melbourne City

Melbourne City left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

The manager makes an example of Tomislav Uskok

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

Jordan Palmer: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout24 Dec 2029

The form table has caught Jake Marshall

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Jake Marshall breaks a bone — 15 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 15 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad9 Jul 2029

The knee: Mohammed Hussaini out for 35 days

35 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Adelaide United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market9 Jul 2029

Jake Najdovski agrees terms with Brisbane Roar

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Adelaide United people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market9 Jul 2029

Samuel Isife 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 Adelaide United can pretend not to have heard.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Real improvement from Akol Akon at Adelaide United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Akol Akon is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Market9 Jul 2029

Abdallah Maga is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Adelaide United is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Joshua Smits signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Joshua Smits commits to Adelaide United for another 2 years.

Transfer targets9 Jul 2029

Door shut on Caleb Kramer

Adelaide United asked and ADO Den Haag said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets9 Jul 2029

Adelaide United try to borrow Connor Metcalfe

Borussia Dortmund have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Jake Marshall breaks a bone — 22 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 22 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad2 Jul 2029

The knee: Mohammed Hussaini out for 43 days

43 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Adelaide United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market2 Jul 2029

Akol Akon has said yes to Ba

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Adelaide United have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market2 Jul 2029

Abdallah Maga puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Adelaide United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market2 Jul 2029

Ajak Riak has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Adelaide United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom2 Jul 2029

Abdallah Maga has agreed to leave Adelaide United for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Joshua Smits signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joshua Smits and Adelaide United agree another 2 years.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Words exchanged at Adelaide United

Dylan Pierias and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market2 Jul 2029

Wellington Phoenix are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Adelaide United will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Squad25 Jun 2029

A fracture rules Jake Marshall out for 30 days

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

Squad25 Jun 2029

The knee: Mohammed Hussaini out for 51 days

51 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Adelaide United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market25 Jun 2029

Jonny Yull asks to leave Adelaide United

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market25 Jun 2029

Ajak Riak has said yes to Macarthur FC

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Adelaide United have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market25 Jun 2029

Adelaide United turn down Brisbane Roar for Jake Najdovski

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom25 Jun 2029

Adelaide United beat the market to James McGarry from Wellington Phoenix

Wellington Phoenix will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. James McGarry has pre-agreed a move to Adelaide United, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Transfer targets25 Jun 2029

Door shut on Freddie Draper

Adelaide United asked and Lincoln City said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
