Hi all,
Welcome to the blog. My stomach feels a bit funny after one mammoth drive back to the big smoke. It's probably not a good idea to drive for about seven straight hours to Perth in the middle of the night.
But anyway, I'm temporarily back in town, and it is interesting to see the growing optimism in camp Glory after Sunday's win.

So this is what it feels like to win in the first round.
Perth Glory thoroughly deserved to have the three points from yesterday but the 1-0 scoreline would suggest it was a close thing.
In fact Glory were dominate for about three quarters of the game, mounting attack after attack - like waves.

I think it's safe to say that everyone who is a fan of the round ball game would have been relieved the season has finally started.
They say that idle hands are the devil's playthings, so with six months of nothing you can imagine the crap that has happened.
At least we can now focus on the football.
