Holy Christ on a Bike...

In this episode of the Far Post Perth, Blayne Treadgold, James Renton, and special super-sub Murray Stevens dissect the 2-1 loss to the Roar, questioning whether Perth was simply out-muscled or were Brisbane just "better on the day."

The boys dive into the "Good, Bad, and Ugly" of the week, covering everything from the Glory's impressive home crowds to the ongoing VAR controversies and the absolute chaos that was AFCON. 

There's also a look at the Glory Women's incredible form, the impending NPLWA Men's Night Series, and a broader discussion on the state of refereeing (the handball rule... still confusing).


Key Topics


Glory vs. Brisbane Review: A frank assessment of the 2-1 defeat. Was it Perth being "out-muscled" or just a case of not taking chances? The team discusses the impact of early substitutions, the lack of midfield control, and the questionable VAR decisions (or lack thereof).


The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly:


Good: The electric atmosphere at HBF Park with over 12,000 fans, Glory Women continuing their winning streak, and Ben Smith's positive article on the club's culture.


Bad: The ongoing VAR frustrations (did it hit the hand? Was it a penalty?), the stop-start nature of the game due to officiating.


Ugly: The farce that was AFCON (African Cup of Nations) with teams walking off, security issues, the usual AFCON chaos, plus the sad state of the Western Sydney Wanderers.


Reinforcments incoming: With the impending arrival of Stef Colakovski, does this provide Adam Griffiths with a new card to play?


A-League Round Up: A quick whip-around the rest of the league, including the Original Rivalry, Melbourne City's win over Auckland and the sacking of Alen Stajcic


State League Focus: A look ahead to the NPL Night Series kicking off this weekend, with fixtures to watch and a shoutout to the local clubs.

Out Muscled, Out Played

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.

In this special Christmas edition of the Far Post Perth, Blayne, Neil, and Donna are joined by A-League royalty, David Williams.

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.
