+x+xWil Glory play matches at home with Hitler's border closures or have they come to NSW for a couple of months to play home matches? What an embarrassingly poor set of circumstances to be experienced by the likes of Sturridge and Sardinero. Perth play 9 games in a row in the east, they are all considered away games, so they will get a run of home games back in WA towards the end of the season. Fair enough especially considering current border difficulties.. But all the Nix 10 games they have to play in Australia to start the season. Half of them have to be arranged as home games. Not quite so fair. If the current WA border restrictions remain in place until March (which is what we have currently been told), it will mean the Glory home games R10 (WP), R11 (NJ), R12 (MAC), R25 (MC) and R16 (WU) will all need to be either postponed or relocated interstate. If things change in QLD, it could also effect R15 (BR) if QLD is added to the WA blacklist. If the games are moved interstate, it would suck for the fans. However if the games are postponed, it would suck for the players as it would likely result in weekday games played with short turn arounds from previous games.

Looks like another line through this season before it even starts. 9 in a row will be extremely tough.

+x+x+xAnyone else see this? Would be pretty bullshit.. mind you could get somebody else in exchange.  Is this fake? Can't see it anymore Keep the onus on the Owners, its always the owners that don't fork out abit extra to keep a gun player.. They don't view the fan as too important because the fan wants to have the best tesm with their bedt players to stay at the club. It is fine to try and prostitute the club off to a rapping pimp with ties to bitcoin though. Anyway, Mariners and Adelaide are doing the tight ass rap as well. You will always see Sydney and City paying the realistic, required amount to build teams. It’s a completely fake rumour

+x+xBrandon Wilson is gone. Terminated contract...mutual. Didn't expect that. Just in time for January. Another A-league club? I have a feeling he might join the new MacArthur Bulls side. Think that would be a good move for him.

+xI hadn't realised Fornaroli got his Australian citizenship as early as 2017. I thought he was taking up a foreigner spot but apparently not. Does he qualify as an Australian for ACL as well? Nevermind in regards to ACL. Doesn't qualify.

+xIf you simply looked at global superstar Sam Kerr, you would think women's soccer in Western Australia was going better than ever. But the reality is, Kerr was the last WA player to debut for the Matildas, Australia's national women's soccer team. It has been 10 years since she made her breakthrough as a 15-year-old against Italy back in 2009. The drought has occurred despite the success of the Matildas, as well as a continued surge in participation. On the other hand, the recent the junior Matilda's team that came 4th in last months AFC under 16 tournament featured 5 players from Western Australia (Football West NTC x3, Perth Glory, Cockburn City)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_AFC_U-16_Women%27s_Championship_squads

If you simply looked at global superstar Sam Kerr, you would think women's soccer in Western Australia was going better than ever. But the reality is, Kerr was the last WA player to debut for the Matildas, Australia's national women's soccer team. It has been 10 years since she made her breakthrough as a 15-year-old against Italy back in 2009. The drought has occurred despite the success of the Matildas, as well as a continued surge in participation. Sam Kerr smiles as she and Caitlin Foord celebrate a Matildas goal against Brazil. PHOTO: Kerr (left) and the Matildas have had much to celebrate, but women's soccer in WA is still facing challenges. (AAP: Dean Lewins) Football West figures show there are almost 40,000 female players in the state, an increase of nearly 40 per cent over the period from 2016 to 2018. That is staggering growth. So why isn't WA producing more national representatives? A disjointed pathway with no NPL Many are blaming the lack of a cohesive pathway from juniors to seniors and a disconnect between the local league and W-League side Perth Glory. In Western Australia, there is no women's National Premier League like in some other states. The NPL is a structured second-tier competition that sits beneath the W-League and A-League. So the absence of the NPL in the west makes the system for female players in WA disjointed. A tight shot of the legs of two Northern Redbacks Women's Soccer Club under 16s players with red socks on and a ball. PHOTO: The number of female soccer players in WA has soared towards 40,000 in recent years. (Supplied: Kenit Png) There are strong senior clubs with no junior pathways and a lot of good junior clubs that have no senior team. Leadership from the governing body is needed to bring all the different groups together, but so far that has proved difficult, according to Conrad McKelvie, who has been a member of Football West's women's standing committee. "The reality is even if we start moving towards that, it is going to probably be five years down the track before we are at a situation where clubs are at a level where they can even be considered in the same breath as the eastern states NPL programs," he said. Right now, a girl cannot join the game and play at the same club all the way though to the senior team. Four women celebrate their favourite soccer team at an oval in Sydney PHOTO: The Matildas' success is yet to translate into more WA players in the national team. (AAP: Bianca De Marchi) Football Federation Australia ultimately wants a women's NPL in all states, but right now WA is falling behind — and it is to the detriment of the sport. AFL teams 'full of ex-soccer players' There is another major challenge. While soccer has always been a strong drawcard for women without being well organised, but now there are increasing options for talented female athletes. "Top players from the league are going to AFL instead because the opportunities and the standards are better at the moment," McKelvie said. "You have got players who have played premier league here [in Perth] who have had no look in at the Glory, who have now gone to play for the Fremantle Dockers or the West Coast Eagles team. "Those teams are full of ex-soccer players." A lot is also hinging on the proposed high performance state football centre, earmarked for Maniana Park in the southern Perth suburb of Queens Park, which is still waiting on funding approval from the WA Government. The timeline remains uncertain despite a $16 million election commitment by the Commonwealth Government. Politicians in suits stand in front of cameras and children in a football field PHOTO: The Morrison Government has pledged $16 million towards the establishment of a state football centre in Queens Park. (Supplied: Football West) "If we had the money of course we would build it and other community sport-supporting infrastructure," WA Sport and Recreation Minister Mick Murray said in a statement. "But the reality is that the budget position makes a state contribution very difficult. "We are currently engaging with the Commonwealth Government to understand the arrangements surrounding its election commitment." https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-10-05/sam-kerr-is-a-superstar-but-not-the-saviour-for-wa-womens-soccer/11548688?section=sportIn the meantime, women's soccer in Western Australia is stalling, as other codes circle their best talent.

Perth Glory is delighted to confirm that BHP will be the club’s new principal partner for the 2019/20 season. One of the world’s leading resources companies, BHP extract and process minerals, oil and gas and employ more than 72,000 staff and contractors, primarily in Australia and the Americas. It is a major force within the Western Australia resources sector, notably through its Iron Ore assets, which include an integrated system of five mines and four processing hubs based in Newman, Yandi, Mining Area C and Jimbelar. The company’s logo will feature on the front of Perth Glory’s Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League shirts and all training apparel this season and club Chief Executive Officer Tony Pignata believes that the partnership is a hugely significant one. "BHP is a global powerhouse in the resources field and its Western Australian operations play a key role in driving the State and National economy," he said. "We are therefore extremely proud to have partnered with them and look forward to their logo being front and centre on our Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League shirts as both teams look to build upon last season’s success in their respective competitions." BHP WA Iron Ore Asset President Edgar Basto, meanwhile, feels that the two organisations share a number of common values. "BHP values the contribution Perth Glory makes to the people of WA," he said. "Our partnership is underpinned by a mutual commitment to achieve outstanding results and greater inclusion and diversity and we believe this approach has a positive impact on our organisations and the broader community. "Our Company and culture is shaped by the many people from diverse cultures and backgrounds around the globe who call Western Australia home, so we think it makes sense to sponsor one of our State’s must successful and diverse sporting teams. "Throughout the years, Perth Glory FC has #SetTheBar for football in Australia and we wish both their Hyundai A-League and Westfield W-League teams every success in the 2019/20 season." Glory will sport the BHP logo for the first time in Sunday's season-opener against Brisbane Roar at HBF Park (kick off at 3pm).

+xGood. At least we have ACL kits to look forward to as well. They should go for an overall colour change this season. A DARKER PURPLE would be nice to advertise glory in the ACL  This is too light, Perhaps even make the orange a few shades darker also.

+xAny news on Spiranovic and Djulbic? Getting frustrating, expecially with Spiranovic. If he doesn't want to play for us then I'm not sure I really want him back Djulbic i wouldn't want back anyway. Should retire at this point I think. Spira doesn't seem like he's coming back. He was only ever on a one year contract so doesn't owe us anything at this point. I assume he's G O N E. Although the longer we wait the more hopeful i become...with most competitions starting i think it's becoming more likely he'll play in the a-league. Would be very frustrated if he came back but not to us though. Especially since he spent half of last season nursing himself back to full strength. Mcrella, Grant, Tratt, Wilson and Osama. Stocks for CB don't seem too bad. Wilson has been converted to CB which I have been shouting for...so silverlining. Much prefer to see Wilson play and develop at CB than see Dino there. Losing Lowry was a massive blow as well...if we don't get Spira back we should be on the lookout for a leftsided CB to compete/back up Grant.

+x+x+xThe West says we are looking for a Davidson replacement that is currently playing in South Korea. I think you’ve misinterpreted that. I understand it as Davidson is now playing in Korea Oh yeh, oops. Was right anyway somehow. Anyone go to the friendly yesterday? Interested in knowing how Kim and Grant went.
