The Adam Griffiths honeymoon period is officially over. Neil Sherwin is back from rocking out at Good Charlotte just in time to join Blayne and Jaxon for a reality check on Perth Glory's form. With the finals slipping away, the boys ask the hard questions: have teams figured out our tactics, and do we really want to endure another off-season coaching search?

Then, it’s time to geek out. We are joined by Rob Childs, aka The Kit Dealer, to talk all things vintage football shirts. Rob shares the secrets to spotting a fake 90s Kappa jersey, why the crossover between indie bands and football clubs is booming, and the absolutely unbelievable story of how AC Milan star Luka Jović randomly wandered into his shop in Piccadilly Arcade and sparked a global friendship.

Plus, we look at Juan Mata lighting up the Melbourne Derby, Daniel Bennie's cracking first goal in the Championship, a massive comeback win for the Glory Women, and why "crossing the line" with active support banter does the terraces no favours.

Key Topics:

• The Glory Reality Check: Why the momentum has vanished, the gaping hole left by Rostyn Griffiths, and why the press conference "stonewalling" is wearing thin.

• The Good, The Bad & The Ugly:

  • Good: Juan Mata proving his class at Victory and Daniel Bennie’s screamer for QPR.

  • Bad: Melbourne City’s disastrous season and Western Sydney Wanderers’ massive fumble of the Juan Mata marquee signing.

  • Ugly: When banter crosses the line on the terraces, and a serious chat about the persistent issue of racism in football.

• Feature Interview: Rob Childs (The Kit Dealer):

  • Why the 1995–2005 era is the undisputed peak of football kits.

  • How to authenticate vintage shirts (and why cheap knock-offs can't replicate 90s manufacturing).

  • Sourcing a Manly Dolphins jacket in Sicily and a Perth SC shirt in Bulgaria.

  • The AC Milan Story: How a random knock on a closed door led to hanging out with Luka Jović and Jan-Carlo Simić across Europe and Saudi Arabia.

• A-League Women: The Glory Girls show massive character with a 3-2 comeback win over the Jets to keep their Top 6 hopes alive.

• Coaching Carousel Rumours: Dismissing the Rob Stanton to Perth whispers, but asking the big question: what is the benchmark for Griffiths to earn a contract extension?
