Centre midfield, centre forward, right wing, left wing, attacking midfield, left back, impact sub - there are few positions Joel Chianese hasn’t covered for Perth Glory this season.

Perth will meet Adelaide on Friday at Optus Stadium with a place in the grand final up for grabs. Having already beaten the Reds twice and drawn once in three previous meetings this season, Chianese says the squad is in a good mood after a weekend of rest.
"We’re well rested after having the weekend off, although we did train pretty hard over the last week,” he said.
"It’s been nice to sit back and watch the other teams go to work, and work pretty hard, especially the Adelaide-Melbourne City game. The boys are in good spirits and everyone’s excited now.”
Adelaide beat Melbourne City in extra-time in the first round of the finals, and Chianese says the Glory will be wary of their counter-attacking ways.
"We know Adelaide can be a very structured team,” he said.
"We know Kurz can have them tactically ready for any opponent. They’re always dangerous, they’ve got players who are quick and can be dangerous on the break. We definitely won't be taking them lightly.
"We’ll be ready though, I guess the boss here has had us ready for every game. Everyone knows their role here, knows their job and we know the opposition inside and out. We know it won't be easy but at home we should take advantage, especially early if we can.”
