Article says he's expected to arrive just after our game with them.
Edward's post Adelaide match presser is worth a watch http://video.couriermail.com.au/v/144291/Perth-presser
Scott Jamieson set to miss the rest of the season with a ruptured achilles tendon. Real shame for him, he has been fantastic this season.
Tony's gonna sue someone!
Much as I dislike Burns a 2 week ban seems a trifle excessive.

Agree about Huchinson. At the time I thought he should've been straight off, even though he was severely provoked. Amusingly ironic then that he is now apparently Burns best friend and prime witness for the defence. "He hardly stepped on me at all, your honor!".
Some one should tell Tony he is a second class citizen.
Grumpy old bastard alert
to be fair he has improved on that a hell of a lot while at Perth. eight last year three the year before
Pantelidis off to Malaysia. Won't play Against Nix this week
I doubt he will be missed. Just a thug.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
Agree based on time pre Perth. Has been much improved there.
Smeltz out for 4 weeks
Sidnei injured himself against us, sadly 90 mins too late!
TopLeft07 better look away, this is the state of the NIB pitch after it hosted a Taylor Swift concert.
Reports of a bust up between Burns and Edwards Snr, after the Glory's 2-0 loss tonight.

Happy times. Could be the end of Burns time at Perth. 2nd time father and son issues have happened over there
Are we looking for a DM? (note:this is just to wind news up)

Sounds like Edwards has got the boot. Shame if true, he has done some very good things with Perth since taking over. But he only has himself to blame.
What a horrendous mess. I feel for Edwards but if these reports are true (and you can't take it for granted that they are) then he does have himself to blame to some degree. Stubbornly playing your two sons is bound to get the older players' noses out of joint and cause a dressing room division.
As coach he obviously should be able to pick the team he wants but to not foresee the consequences of those selections is a little naive.
Bit of a rough old week for coaches in both hemispheres, it would seem ...

Daddy edwards has got the sack... anyone surprised?
Nope
I have an amazing ability to find my way out of mazes. I'm pathological.
When a coach has his son playing, the son has to be much better than the other players. In this case they were not.
If you are old and wise you were probably young and stupid
I reckon his daughters would have been better
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet
Good read about what happened - http://theworldgame.sbs.com.au/les-murray/blog/1176898/Inglorious-assassination
Wow. What a great read. And what a bunch of muppets.

Bonuses for sons. Glad hes gone then. What a fuckwit
If he wants to sign his sons, that's his business but then if his sons are shit, he has to be accountable for the results of that. Jacob got his nose out of joint cause he got sent off once again for being a cunt and is a bit upset cause he does not come straight back in? At some point that ass has to get the message to sort his shit out and he's the coach that took a stand on it.
Rookie move by the CEO. You leave the situation as it was and if results don't come, then you fire him. Coach is paid to get results and you'll never know if he was on the right track (think Ange and Roar when he kicked out the old guys and the fans said he was mad. What happened next?) Also I would have told the player to fuck off. If the coach gets results, who cares how many minutes you play?
While Perth aren't the worst team, we won't know how it's going to pan out only 10 games into will we...
Grumpy old bastard alert
New coach kenny lowe was in midst of 8 match ban for abusing female ref. classy
