Overall, a good Glory performance and it’s a bit disappointing that they don’t have more than one point to show for it. Although, they faded once the subs came on. #PERvSYD

Without wanting to sound dramatic, Taggart might murder Aoyama the next time he doesn’t press #PERvSYD

Glory’s best half of the season I think, just missing a goal. They’ve looked far more composed on the ball and been patient going side-to-side. #PERvSYD

Luke Amos fan here, bossing it so far for Glory #PERvSYD

Just Paramount+ things when a goal’s scored #CCMvWSW

Another half of football where a bad 5 to 10 minutes has cost Glory. They’re lucky to have only conceded once, although they should’ve scored themselves. #MCYvPER

Lachie Wales says he’s keen to remain in Perth beyond this season and talks with Glory about a contract extension are already underway. Definitely the sort of guy you want as part of your rebuild.

If this is the end of 15 to 87, we’ve had it good 🫡 #SuperBowlLIX #ChiefsKingdom

A very happy #SuperBowlLIX Day to all who celebrate #ChiefsKingdom

A very healthy looking Shed end tonight, great to see #PERvMVC

Pretty good crowd in, might go close to 10,000 thanks to all the free tickets given out to registered footballers #PERvMVC #manualcount

My favourite pic from the latest Arrowhead Invitational #ChiefsKingdom

A fifth Super Bowl in the Mahomes era, I’m going to need another Monday off in a fortnight! #ChiefsKingdom

For once, it’s the children who are right. Chappell Roan winning the #hottest100 is spot on, a brilliant tune.

Feels like steps backwards for Glory today, even with a point. Just a really bad performance and they were dominated for most of the game. But at least there was resolve to salvage a draw. #NEWvPER

The weekly Greatest League in the World highlight just dropped #NEWvPER

45 degrees today just inland of Perth. Luckily, it’s a much cooler 42 for those of us close to the coast.

A lovely night of football watching City and United

Two great goals, big crowd, general good vibes. Auckland did expansion well. #AKLvMCY

Spoiler: I love the bucket hat

Just A-League things as the sprinklers come on in the 74th minute #PERvWSW

Tony Popovic is in the house for a Tony Popovic Derby. A long way to travel just to watch Jaylan Pearman. #PERvWSW

Glory have a real one in Jaylan Pearman, what a way to score your first A-League goal 🚀 #PERvAKL

A very fine Perth evening #PERvAKL

Glory ran out of legs a week ago against Western United so the logical thing to do after a midweek trek to Sydney and back is to name an unchanged team against well rested Auckland. #PERvAKL

Another miserable game to watch. Not a single shot on target and 3-0 was generous across 90 minutes. Can’t wait for two home games in four days next… #SYDvPER

“I thought that was the turning point at home,” says David Zdrilic. “It’s one of those things, what do you say?” regarding the manner of the defeat. Points to a lot of positives in terms of the atmosphere around the team and chances created. #PERvWUN

Lost for words. Glory were very good and had a 2-1 lead in the 92nd minute. They lost 3-2. #PERvWUN

Back for another year 🫡 #PERvWUN

Very impressed with Melbourne City’s press, young players all working together and recognising the triggers. Good to watch.

My kind of Friday starts now

A day late but happy 10th anniversary

New year, new Perth Glory? It really needs to be after a disastrous 2024. farpostperth.com.au/five-things-...

Give that man a monocle and top hat

$30 to watch Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Leylah Fernandez and Felix Auger-Aliassime play on a summer’s night. The #UnitedCup remains Perth’s best value for money sporting event for me.

Glory’s A-League record for the calendar year 2024 makes for grim reading. Played - 27 Won - 4 Drew - 7 Lost - 16 For - 35 Against - 74 Points - 19 A purple patch (pun intended) in January and February accounts for 12 of those points.
