In this episode of the Far Post Perth, Blayne Treadgold, James Renton, and special super-sub Murray Stevens dissect the 2-1 loss to the Roar, questioning whether Perth was simply out-muscled or were Brisbane just "better on the day."

The boys dive into the "Good, Bad, and Ugly" of the week, covering everything from the Glory's impressive home crowds to the ongoing VAR controversies and the absolute chaos that was AFCON.

There's also a look at the Glory Women's incredible form, the impending NPLWA Men's Night Series, and a broader discussion on the state of refereeing (the handball rule... still confusing).

• Key Topics

  • Glory vs. Brisbane Review: A frank assessment of the 2-1 defeat. Was it Perth being "out-muscled" or just a case of not taking chances? The team discusses the impact of early substitutions, the lack of midfield control, and the questionable VAR decisions (or lack thereof).
