Beware: Angry Mob

We're back, baby! The Far Post Perth returns for 2026, blowing out the cobwebs with a bumper episode covering the highs, lows, and everything in between from the holiday period.

Blayne Treadgold, James Renton, and Jaxon Bassett dive straight into the drama at Manchester United, the A-League transfer window chaos, and Perth Glory's resurgence. From Darren the Robot's rollercoaster week to the A-League's 'Good, Bad, and Ugly,' no stone is left unturned.

The team also breaks down the Glory's recent form, including the men's 3-0 demolition of Central Coast and the women's team finding their winning groove.

Plus, they gaze into the crystal ball to predict which Glory stars will be staying or going as contract talks heat up.

It's a packed show with plenty of laughs, serious football chat, and perhaps a questionable prediction or two. Are you not entertained?

Key Topics
Good: Glory Women & Men both securing wins, Darren the robot's redemption arc (complete with kit number), and the general vibe around Perth Glory.
Bad: INEOS's handling of Manchester United, Ruben Amorim's sacking, and the ongoing mess at Central Coast Mariners.
Ugly: Josh Cavallo's social media statement regarding Adelaide United, and the worrying safety concerns for fans heading to the 2026 World Cup in the USA.


Glory vs. Mariners Review: A deep dive into the 3-0 victory. The boys discuss the tactical shift to move the ball quickly, the solid defensive display, and how the team is finally clicking under Adam Griffiths.


Transfer Window & Squad Audit: The January window is open! The team goes player-by-player through the Glory squad list, predicting who stays and who goes for the 2026/27 season. Will Taggart extend? Is Cook on the way out?


A-League Round Up: A look around the grounds at the rest of the league, including the Melbourne Derby stalemate, Newcastle's away form, and the upcoming slate of matches.

David shares incredible stories from his career, including his time in Europe as a teenager, the realities of playing in the A-League, and his recent success coaching the WA Paras team to a National Championship. 

He also discusses his new role at Stirling Macedonia, his philosophy on player development, and the importance of creating a positive team culture. It's a candid and insightful conversation with one of Australian football's most respected figures.

Christmas Special feat. David Williams

The team dissects the massive news that Adam Griffiths has officially had the interim tag removed, signing an 18-month deal to become the permanent head coach of Perth Glory.

Blayne, Neil, Jaxon, and Donna break down the 1-0 loss to Sydney FC, a game defined by a spirited effort but ultimately hampered by a lack of cutting edge. The crew dives into the weekly "Good, Bad, and Ugly," covering everything from Juan Mata’s silky skills to the contentious use of PA music drowning out the Shed.

Plus, there’s all the injury talk, the looming January transfer window, the heartbreaking MCL injury to Cam Cook, and a look around the grounds at the rest of the A-League action.

Key Topics


Griffo Signed & Sealed: Analysis of the club's decision to appoint Adam Griffiths on a permanent basis. The team discusses the stability this brings, the length of the contract (end of next season), and whether it was the right move given the current ladder position.


Glory vs. Sydney Review: A look back at the 1-0 defeat. While the effort and "vibes" were there—acknowledged by the fans post-match—the injuries to key strikers Adam Taggart and Jaidyn Kucharski exposed a lack of depth and finishing power.


The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly:


Good: Juan Mata's masterclass (hitting the crossbar, general class), the end of the coaching speculation, and the mature reaction from the Glory faithful post-loss


Bad: The injury ward is overflowing (Taggart, Kucharski, Wales,  etc.), and Blayne’s gripe with the stadium DJ drowning out the organic crowd atmosphere.


Ugly: A dismal crowd attendance of 1,942 at Central Coast, Jaxon's dismay over Tottenham's 3-0 loss to Chelsea, and the general state of attendances across the league.


Injury Update & Transfer Talk: Can the Glory find cover for their depleted forward line?

Around the Grounds: A quick whip-around the A-League, including Auckland FC’s form, the Melbourne Victory/Adelaide clash, and a nod to the Glory Women’s 1-0 win.
