Blayne Treadgold, James Renton and "Super Sub" Murray Stevens dissect what might be the worst Perth Glory performance of the Adam Griffiths era.

In this episode, the boys try to make sense of the 3-1 "disaster-class" against the Newcastle Jets. We break down why the Glory reverted to "hoof-ball" the massive hole left by Tom Lawrence, Nicho Pennington and Rhys Bozinovski.

It’s not all doom and gloom though—we celebrate the magic of the FA Cup, discuss Susan Phonsongkham’s stunning "Olimpico" for the Glory Women, and preview the massive Night Series Final between Olympic Kingsway and Stirling Macedonia.

Plus, we tackle the big "Burning Question": What should be the Top 5 priorities for new A-League CEO Steve Rosich and Football Australia CEO Martin Kugler? 

Key Topics:

Glory vs. Jets: A tactical breakdown of the loss

The "Griff" vs. Milligan Debate: One coach wants to play proactively; the other went pragmatic. We ask if the squad is good enough to adapt. 

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:

Good: The romance of the FA Cup, Macclesfield’s spirit, and Wrexham drawing Chelsea. 

Bad: Lewis Miller’s heartbreaking Achilles injury and Glory’s "retreating" defense. 

Ugly: The disgraceful state of the Allianz Stadium pitch and overzealous security in "The Shed." 

The CEO Wishlist: A deep dive into what the new bosses of Australian football need to fix in 2026—from a united football pyramid to a broadcast deal that actually works. 

A-League Women: Susan Phonsongkham scores directly from a corner to stun Canberra United. 
Local Corner: A look at the WA Night Series Final: Olympic Kingsway vs. Stirling Macedonia.

Disaster Strikes 

In this episode, Blayne, Neil, and Jaxon break down the 2-2 draw against Macarthur—a game where the Glory snatched a "lucky point" thanks to a Filip Kurto disaster-class.... and has Luke Amos played his last game for Perth?

The boys also dive into the hottest debate in Australian football right now: Adam Peacock’s proposal to shift the A-League season to a calendar year model. Would Perth fans actually turn up in the rain, is the "clean air" argument a myth? And would playing in cooler conditions increase Australia's transfer revenue?

Plus, we look at the massive recruiting coup for the NPL WA with Danny De Silva and Daniel Stynes coming home, ask if the Glory Women’s "Finals or Bust" season is now a bust, and call out the "ugly" tackle in NPL NSW that made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Key Topics:

The Macarthur Miracle: Dissecting the 2-2 draw, Filip Kurto’s "nightmare," and why Sulemani started over Taggart.

The "Season Shift" Debate: Adam Peacock’s proposal to move the A-League to winter. The boys debate the pros vs. the reality of fans refusing to watch football in the rain.

Stars return home: Danny De Silva to Olympic and Daniel Stynes to Bayswater—How much of a buzz is it for the local leagues?

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:

Good: The Premier League title race and the Super Bowl halftime show (even if Neil didn't understand a word of it).

Bad: A horrific "dog act" tackle in NPL NSW and the subsequent red card.

Ugly: The "Luke Amos situation"—is his time at Glory done after failing to make the squad again?.

Glory Women: A 1-0 loss to Wellington leaves the "Finals or Bust" mantra looking shaky. Is it time to ask hard questions about the club or the coaching regime?.

WA Night Series Wrap: Olympic, Glory, Stirling and Redstar make up the Semi-Finals

Predictions: Can the Glory get a result against a high-flying Newcastle Jets in a "goals galore" fixture?.

Still in the Hunt

The heat was on at HBF Park, but Jaden Kucharski brought the fire! In this episode, Blayne and James break down Perth Glory’s "smash and grab" victory over Auckland FC, proving that a long ball over a high line is sometimes all you need.

We are joined by Glory midfielder Nicholas Pennington for a fascinating chat about his journey from Rome to Perth. Nico opens up about the brutal pressure of Italian football versus the physical demands of the A-League, his new role as an "Inside 10" under Adam Griffiths, and why he thinks this squad is finally ready to go on a run.

Plus, we dissect the Sydney Derby atmosphere, ask what on earth is going on at Western Sydney Wanderers, and call out the "ugly" behaviour in the stands. We also wrap up the latest from the A-League Women and the WA Night Series.

Key Topics:


Glory 2-1 Auckland: How "hoof-ball" exploited Auckland’s high line and why Kucharski & Colakovski changed the game.


The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: The Sydney Derby atmosphere, WSW's capitulation, transfer rumours regarding a midfield exit to Holland, and the disappointing jeering of Oli Sail.


Feature Interview (Nicholas Pennington):


Growing up in Rome: And the Cagliari system.


Serie C vs. A-League: Why Australian football is physically harder but tactically freer.


The Griffiths Effect: How training intensity has transformed the squad's work ethic.


Position Change: Does Nico prefer the #6 role or the attacking midfield spot?


A-League Women: A stalemate against Sydney FC—great defence, but where are the goals coming from?


WA Night Series: A wrap-up of the group stage as the local pre-season heats up.


Predictions: Can Glory do it on Friday night against Macarthur?
