Match23 Oct 2032

Jesse Randall leads the rout of Perth Glory

3‑0, and Jesse Randall took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Auckland FC tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

Both of them Jesse Randall's — 8.73

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.73, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The dugout25 Oct 2032

Stefan Taylor: 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.” Auckland FC have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Player ratings25 Oct 2032

Up for the corner, and Fin Conchie delivers — 7.91

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Fin Conchie scored, was marked 7.91, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Boardroom25 Oct 2032

Graduation day at Auckland FC

5 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.

A falling-out at Auckland FC

Riley Dalziell and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Auckland FC promote Eli Wilson from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eli Wilson has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Aaron Ward steps up from the Auckland FC academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Aaron Ward 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.

Marcus Hamilton steps up from the Auckland FC academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Marcus Hamilton 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.

Tempers go at Auckland FC

Riley Dalziell 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.

Jordan Craig steps up from the Auckland FC academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jordan Craig 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: Peter Watson joins the Auckland FC first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Peter Watson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Callum Nelson stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Callum Nelson and Auckland FC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
