The team dissects the massive news that Adam Griffiths has officially had the interim tag removed, signing an 18-month deal to become the permanent head coach of Perth Glory.

Blayne, Neil, Jaxon, and Donna break down the 1-0 loss to Sydney FC, a game defined by a spirited effort but ultimately hampered by a lack of cutting edge. The crew dives into the weekly "Good, Bad, and Ugly," covering everything from Juan Mata’s silky skills to the contentious use of PA music drowning out the Shed.

Plus, there’s all the injury talk, the looming January transfer window, the heartbreaking MCL injury to Cam Cook, and a look around the grounds at the rest of the A-League action.

Key Topics

• Griffo Signed & Sealed: Analysis of the club's decision to appoint Adam Griffiths on a permanent basis. The team discusses the stability this brings, the length of the contract (end of next season), and whether it was the right move given the current ladder position.

• Glory vs. Sydney Review: A look back at the 1-0 defeat. While the effort and "vibes" were there—acknowledged by the fans post-match—the injuries to key strikers Adam Taggart and Jaidyn Kucharski exposed a lack of depth and finishing power.

• The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly:

  • Good: Juan Mata's masterclass (hitting the crossbar, general class), the end of the coaching speculation, and the mature reaction from the Glory faithful post-loss

  • Bad: The injury ward is overflowing (Taggart, Kucharski, Wales, etc.), and Blayne’s gripe with the stadium DJ drowning out the organic crowd atmosphere.

  • Ugly: A dismal crowd attendance of 1,942 at Central Coast, Jaxon's dismay over Tottenham's 3-0 loss to Chelsea, and the general state of attendances across the league.

• Injury Update & Transfer Talk: Can the Glory find cover for their depleted forward line?

Around the Grounds: A quick whip-around the A-League, including Auckland FC’s form, the Melbourne Victory/Adelaide clash, and a nod to the Glory Women’s 1-0 win.

The boys are back in the studio after a massive weekend of football that saw Perth Glory crack three wins on the bounce and the "Mountain Goat" meme officially reach cult status. Blayne, Neil, Jaxon, and James dissect the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of the week—from the electric atmosphere at the Shed to FIFA’s latest "Americanisation" and ugly side of the World Cup.

We are also joined by the man of the moment, Glory goalkeeper Matt Sutton. He talks us through his whirlwind arrival in Perth, life in the "Glory Frat House," and what it’s like playing behind a defence that has suddenly turned into a brick wall.

Key Topics

• The "Good": Adam Griffiths’ bizarre "Mountain Goat/Lion" press conference quote hits viral areas. Plus, the atmosphere at HBF Park is back to its best.

• The "Bad": Melbourne Victory’s slump continues, and the boys tear into FIFA’s new mandatory "hydration breaks" for the 2026 World Cup (aka commercial breaks).

• The "Ugly": Brisbane Roar’s kit disasters and the "Americanisation" of football with half-time shows at the World Cup Final.

• Feature Interview: Matt Sutton: The Glory shot-stopper joins the show to discuss his clean sheets, his sudden move West, and the "team effort" of living with half the squad.

• World Football: The fallout from the World Cup Draw and why the Socceroos might actually fancy their chances in Group C.

• A-League Tips: The boys try (and likely fail) to predict the winners for the upcoming round.
