2025: 2nd (Promoted via Playoffs) | GF: 48 | GA: 28 | Top Scorer: Bourne (11)
Cockburn bounced back from a difficult few years by winning promotion in a dramatic playoff shoot‑out. Strong at both ends last season, they’ve added quality with Robinson, Rae, Geeves, Guzman and Bulatovic. With Kenny Palmer in his second year and a young, motivated squad, they aim to push toward the top four.

Young Players to Watch: Several emerging first‑team regulars after a full year of senior football.



CURTIN UNIVERSITY​


2025: 10th | GF: 31 | GA: 46 | Top Scorer: Witt (8)
Curtin survived their first Division One season but struggled defensively. Troy Reid enters his sixth year with a strengthened squad including Tanna, Langham and Oliver. Improvement hinges on tightening up at the back and finding consistency.


Skipper: Jeffrey Ledwith
Young Player to Watch: Christian Price – aggressive, high‑energy full‑back.



FLOREAT ATHENA​


2025: 12th NPL (Relegated) | GF: 23 | GA: 51 | Top Scorer: Mathet (6)

Young Players to Watch: Not announced



GWELUP CROATIA​


2025: 6th | GF: 43 | GA: 39 | Top Scorer: Mba (9)

INGLEWOOD UNITED​


2025: 9th | GF: 29 | GA: 43 | Top Scorer: Nilson (7)

Skipper: Rostyn Griffiths
Young Player to Watch: Leon Giglia



JOONDALUP CITY​


2025: 3rd | GF: 41 | GA: 26 | Top Scorer: Edwards (9)

Skipper: Liam Peacock
Young Player to Watch: Tyson Poule



KINGSLEY WESTSIDE​


2025: 4th | GF: 36 | GA: 24 | Top Scorer: Adamson (14)
Kingsley were one of 2025’s surprise packages, finishing fourth after losing just once in their final 14 games. They’ve retained their core and added smart signings, positioning them as genuine top‑four challengers.


Skipper: Robbie Linford (Gillies & Koffler as vice‑captains)
Young Players to Watch: Ben Wyeth, Max Adamson



MANDURAH CITY​


2025: 7th | GF: 34 | GA: 33 | Top Scorer: Galvin (6)

Young Players to Watch: Not announced



MURDOCH UNIVERSITY MELVILLE (MUMFC)​


2025: 5th | GF: 50 | GA: 46 | Top Scorer: Giron Marulanda (13)

Skipper: Eddie Wynne‑Wilson
Young Players to Watch: Lochie & Charlie Neil, Delic, Thompson



QUINNS FC​


2025: Division Two Champions | GF: 59 | GA: 31 | Top Scorer: Elkington‑Soan (9)

Young Player to Watch: Chad Samuels



SUBIACO AFC​


2025: 8th | GF: 33 | GA: 37 | Top Scorer: Morrison (7)

UWA‑NEDLANDS FC​


2025: 2nd | GF: 52 | GA: 28 | Top Scorer: Ahmedov (15)
UWA enjoyed their best ever State League season, narrowly missing promotion. Despite losing their top scorer, they’ve added quality and enter 2026 as one of the favourites — and one of the most targeted teams.


Skipper: Jordan Pokler
Young Players to Watch: Gregory John, Jay Sheridan, Giovanni Sores

ASHFIELD​


2025: 9th | GF: 35 | GA: 45 | Top Scorer: Scully (10)
New coach Malcolm Tshuma has rebuilt heavily with 12 signings. Improving home form is key after only two wins at Ashfield Arena last season. If the new squad gels quickly, they could rise.

Young Players: Taboka Ndebele, Joe Jaine



BALGA​


2025: 5th | GF: 40 | GA: 37 | Top Scorer: Zuniga (7)

2025: 6th | GF: 45 | GA: 42 | Top Scorer: Kinnane (11)

CARRAMAR SHAMROCK ROVERS​


2025: 7th | GF: 32 | GA: 38 | Top Scorer: Hendry‑Munford (6)

Young Players: Keane Embelton, reserve squad prospects



EAST PERTH​


2025: 3rd | GF: 44 | GA: 27 | Top Scorer: McCready (13)

Young Players: McKenna, Perry, Tanveer



FORRESTFIELD UNITED​


2025: 4th | GF: 41 | GA: 34 | Top Scorer: Reynolds (13)

NORTH BEACH​


2025: 2nd Amateur Premier (Promoted via Playoffs) | GF: 80 | GA: 37 | Top Scorer: Kretowicz (38)

Skipper: Luke Wearing
Young Players: Jamie McLeod, Thomas Hart



ROCKINGHAM CITY​


2025: 10th | GF: 31 | GA: 44 | Top Scorer: Rogers (6)

Young Player: Raph Gomba



WEMBLEY DOWNS​


2025: 8th | GF: 43 | GA: 61 | Top Scorer: Chalmers (12)
Solid first State League season but must tighten defensively. Added significant reinforcements and promoted Chalmers to captain. Aiming to avoid second‑year regression.


Skipper: Josh Chalmers
Young Player: Ryuya Kuroyanagi
 
APIA and Marconi with wins over Sydney fc and wanderers respectively. Traditionally tricky times to play those teams in the early part of the season and when the a league has an international break so fringe players will be getting game time.

Early signs are that it’ll be Sydney united, Marconi and APIA battling it out for the title in nsw. Remains to be seen if St George can keep up the early season pace

Just noticed Port Melbourne are rock bottom of npl 2. What’s going on there, been a mainstay of the vic state league for decades

I’ve always felt they’ve overachieved.

And I hear that they are planning to revert to an Under 23 type of senior team.

No fringe players on our end this week. Was the opposite, few debuts on our bench.

St George City woeful today, will be disappointed if they take points from us.

Hume City defeated Preston Lions 3-2 in NPL Victoria to move to the top of the table on 14 points with their fourth win of the season, one point clear of Bentleigh Greens and Heidelberg United, who defeated Dandenong Thunder 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Melbourne City's reserves respectively. Caroline Springs George Cross leading St Albans 2-1 in the second half of their game, and Altona Magic locked at 1-1 with bottom-placed Green Gully, also in the second half of their match.
 
Sydney united win away at Rockdale, little doubt now they look to be the real deal. Sydney united v Marconi Easter Monday derby will be big. Hopefully draws a couple thousand.

St George convincing losers v spirit… Doesn’t look like they’ll be keeping pace

These are results that no one would have predicted. The top 6 is looking very weird.

Should be a belter. We'd be disappointed with anything less than 2k as well.

Great game against Rockdale yesterday. Thought the boys played well, and deserved the 3 points. Good crowd and atmosphere to top it off.

Dylan Rose what a player.
