The Far Post Perth

Is Perth's season dead, or is there still a faint heartbeat? This week, Blayne, Neil, Jaxon, and James dissect Perth Glory's scrappy 2-2 draw with Auckland. With square pegs in round holes and injuries piling up, the boys run the math on what it will take to secure a miraculous top-six finish. Meanwhile, "Matilda Mania" has hit Perth, but the boys aren't entirely sold. We break down the underwhelming start to the Asian Cup, question the tactical bravery against South Korea, and put out a public service announcement: doing the Mexican Wave when it's 1-0 is a crime against football. Plus, Renton gives us the inside scoop on his fan-representative meeting with Adam Griffiths (while Neil plays the ultimate cynic), we wrap an explosive opening round of the NPL WA, and we cover the global football chaos—including a 23-red-card brawl in Brazil and crowd violence in the Old Firm Derby. Key Topics: Glory’s Glimmer of Hope: Riding their luck in a 2-2 draw against Auckland, surviving early defensive scares, and previewing the daunting "Distance Derby" double-header in New Zealand. The Griffiths Debrief: James shares the details of the fan group's sit-down with Glory boss Adam Griffiths to discuss youth development and play style. Neil asks the hard question: is it genuine transparency or just club PR? Matildas Asian Cup Campaign: Unpacking the performances against the Philippines and South Korea.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Good: A genuine three-horse title race in the A-League Men and a magical FA Cup run for Port Vale's Aussie contingent. Bad: Asian Cup scheduling nightmares, 11-0 blowouts, and mounting logistical concerns for the 2026 World Cup in North America.

In this episode, Blayne, Neil, and Jaxon unpack Perth's toothless 1-1 draw against Brisbane Roar, where the Glory managed to score without actually registering a single shot on target. With finals football seemingly more and more out of reach, the boys ask the hard questions: what is the pass mark for Adam Griffiths now?  Meanwhile, "Matilda Mania" hit Perth Stadium with 44,000 fans turning out for the Asian Cup opener. But was a 1-0 win over the Philippines actually a bit underwhelming? We dissect the performance, the frustrating 1 PM midweek scheduling for the rest of the tournament , and why the "Mexican Wave" needs to be banned. Plus, we celebrate the return of the NPL WA, blast cheap Premier League merchandise, and ask if the upcoming World Cup is shaping up to be a logistical nightmare. Key Topics: Glory's Attacking Crisis: Breaking down the 1-1 scrap against Brisbane. With zero shots on target in two weeks and only three shots from open play against the Roar, where is the creative spark going to come from without Tom Lawrence and the likes?  Matildas in WA: A 1-0 win gets the points, but holding 85% possession for just 15 shots against a low block leaves plenty of room for improvement. Also, a football snob's plea to stop the Mexican Wave. The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Good: A legitimate three-horse title race in the A-League Men between Newcastle, Auckland, and Sydney. Plus, the NPL WA kicks off with a bang as marquees Daniel Stynes and Danny De Silva both find the back of the net. Bad: Tottenham Hotspur's disastrous 10-game winless streak dragging them toward the relegation zone , and the Asian Cup's crowd-killing midweek double-headers. Ugly: Premier League clubs pushing generic, cookie-cutter Saint Patrick's Day merchandise , and mounting logistical concerns just 100 days out from the North American World Cup. Round Predictions: Looking ahead to the weekend, including whether Perth Glory can avoid a 10:00 AM blowout against a high-flying Auckland side. Keywords Perth Glory, A-League Men, Brisbane Roar, Matildas, Asian Cup Perth, NPL WA, Danny De Silva, Tottenham Hotspur, Adam Griffiths.

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.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly: Good: Juan Mata proving his class at Victory and Daniel Bennie’s screamer for QPR.

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?

In this episode, the boys try to make sense of the 3-1 "disaster-class" against the Newcastle Jets.

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.

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.

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.
