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. We discuss the goalkeeper crisis, Alana Kennedy playing as a #6, and why HBF Park is the perfect cauldron for the quarter-final against North 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.


Ugly: Widespread fan chaos at the Scottish League Cup final, giving away free Asian Cup tickets to pad the stats, and an absolutely mental 23-red-card brawl in Brazil.




Local WA Football: Floreat Athena claiming the State League Night Series, Bayswater's 7-0 statement win in Round 1 of the NPL, and looking ahead to the Women's Night Series Final.


A-League Predictions: The Mariners' stunning resurgence, Melbourne City's domestic nightmare vs. Asian success, and our tips for the weekend.
