The Ewing Theory

Tommy and Kelechi are here to recap week 4 of the NPLW!
There are wins for Balcatta over NTC with Tommy chatting to Abby Meakins, RedStar running rampant and maybe better than ever? Perth SC start to show some swagger and there is fluid free flowing football from Fremantle City.
 
We are also delighted to have Ben Gilby give us his take on Balcatta NTC as well as Perth RedStar UWA and give us just enough of a tease of his excellent interview with NTC Starlet Violet Longmore - you can check it out right here - https://impetusfootball.org/2024/04/17/violet-longmore-hitting-the-heights-with-the-ntc/ 

Scrap heap at the end

It's week 6 of the NPL Men's competition and Sean, Tommy and Kelechi are here to break it all down for you.  
The boys talk Bayswater's and Fremantles City's big wins, ask if there are any changes to the Perth Glory style of play from the previous season and also ask if it's it time to worry if you support Perth RedStar  or Stirling Macedonia?
We try very hard not to talk about "you know who" but honestly reckon they owe us some kudos for them playing so well.
We also have an interview with James Collins (no not that James Collins) talking about the huge cup final for his Inverurie Locos team.
 
There is all and another naughty boy on this episode of the PFP

She knows!

Sam joins Kelechi to go over the weekend that was! Sam gives her perspective on the Perth v Balcatta game before we listen to a summary of the match and a snippet of an incredible conversation with Morgan Springer from Ben Gilby. From there we talk Subiaco's big win and some happy and frustrated team mates during celebrations before discussing the NTC's win over Fremantle and ask what they need to do to stop the rot. Oh and RedStar are good aren't they?
 
All that and more on this episode of the PFP - remember to check out Ben Gilby's article about Morgan here - https://impetusfootball.org/2024/04/10/morgan-springe

Tomato Sauce Muscles

Sean, Josh and Kelechi give you a run down of a bumper weekend of football.
The boys talk Olympic Kingways v the very calm and predictable Perth Glory where we have a naughty boy sighting. We talk Inglewood v Floreat where we highlight some coach killing mistakes and decide to stop talking about Floreat. Our favourite soul singer is in the back in the kitchen Cooking up a storm and as much as things change in life, at least Balcatta remain predictable (and unlucky). We also talk Stirling and their revival, Fremantle belonging in this league from the early performances and do a deep dive on Knights v the Army with interviews from their respective coaches.
 
All that and more on another episode of the PFP!

NPL Women - Our favourite Anderson

Tommy and Kelechi are joined by Ben and Ava from Impetus Women's Football to talk the weekend of action.
The group focus on the big one at Dorrien Gardens where somehow it Perth SC playing superb but Redstar getting the points. The Ben give his take on the match and Tommy has an interview with Caitlin Doeglas.
We then focus on Balcatta's impressive victory over Fremantle, but the stats suggest a little more than the 3-1 victory for the Red and Blues and we talk just how good Lucy Jerram has been since coming back to Perth.
We finish off with UWA's draw with Subiaco and talk how far the league has come!
