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: Fan chaos in the Scottish Cup 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.

So, you're telling me there's a chance?

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.

Finals hopes fade to grey

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?
