Perth Glory v Wellington Phoenix Olympic Kingsway v Melbourne Victory Avondale FC v Stirling Macedonia Some good games in the #AustraliaCup for the three WA representatives.

Brian Kaltak on a multi-year deal is a real coup for Glory. Sure, they already have a load of centre backs on the books but you don’t turn down one of the league’s best when he lands in your lap.

Until the next one 🫡 #AUSvJPN

Head coach and goalscorer both understandably delighted to sit on the cusp of World Cup qualification. “You can’t script it better than that,” said Tony Popovic, but he admitted Japan were a lot tougher than his side. #AUSvJPN

A few surprises in the Japanese lineup - Kubo and Endo amongst those on the bench. Great to see Circati back in the Australia side. #AUSvJPN

Around 57,000 tickets have been sold for Australia v Japan at Optus Stadium.

Hajime Woriyasu and Wataru Endo are speaking to a packed media room ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup qualifier. They’ll have a mix of youth and experience against Australia but the approach won’t change.

$50 for The Shed to watch Glory play AC Milan, don’t mind that at all.

The manual count is far easier than it should be for a big finals game #WUNvMCY

6 years is a long time in football, and this feels like a lifetime ago.

Glory finish the season with an average attendance of 6396 and HBF Park. Considering how bad things have been on the park, that’s a very good effort from the fans. There’s still a pulse.

It was really nice to enjoy a Glory game again, brilliant performance and a deserved third win of the season. Nice boost for the goal difference too… #PERvADL

It sounds like David Zdrilic will stay on as Glory coach next season, with the club backing him and making changes at board level. #PERvADL

Nah, this isn’t funny anymore 😭 #WUNvPER

Yellowcard, Motion City Soundtrack, Plain White Ts…my ears hurt but what a night👌🏼

The falsest of false dawns from the new Glory ownership, a terrible season somehow managed to get even worse tonight. #PERvBRI

It’s this angle for me, what a strike by Amos 🔥 #PERvBRI

Another satisfactory election #WAVotes2025

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
