The Far Post Perth is back to dissect a massive week of football. Adam Taggart etches his name into history as Perth Glory's all-time leading scorer in the A-League era. But was the 1-1 draw against Melbourne City a complete snoozefest? The boys discuss the massive drop in expected goals since key players went down and why the squad looks completely toothless in attack.

On the international stage, the Matildas fall short in the Asian Cup final with a 1-0 loss to a dominant Japan. The crew unpacks the heartbreaking reality of the golden generation failing to secure major silverware and questions the wisdom of holding a fan event the very next day in the grim weather.

Plus, Gary van Egmond blasts the Western Sydney Wanderers as a "shambles", Sydney FC drops a massive coaching bombshell, and Jacob Italiano makes a case for a Socceroos call-up with a hat-trick in Austria.

Key Talking Points

Taggart Makes History: Adam Taggart breaks the record for Perth's leading scorer in the A-League era, hitting the milestone in front of The Shed. However, the 1-1 draw against Melbourne City left a lot to be desired creatively.

Matildas Heartbreak: A 1-0 loss to Japan in the Asian Cup Final leaves the golden generation without major silverware. The boys also call out the poorly timed fan thank-you event held the day after the final.

Wanderers in Shambles: Gary van Egmond doesn't hold back, calling Western Sydney a "shambles" following their loss to Adelaide.

Coaching Merry-Go-Round: Sydney FC drops a bombshell as Ufuk Talay departs (likely for the Wanderers) and Patrick Kisnorbo steps in. We also throw Ante Milicic's name in the ring for the Perth Glory job.

Aussies Abroad: Jacob Italiano bags a hat-trick for Graz AK in the Austrian Bundesliga, putting his hand up for the Socceroos' right wing-back spot.

Local Action & A-League Women: A wrap of the NPL WA weekend, including Redstar's 2-1 win over Perth Glory, and a shoutout to the A-League Women's Pride kit auction.
