Melbourne City are seven points clear at the top of the table following a demolition of Macarthur FC last time out, but Rado Vidosic insists there is more to come.
Reigning premiers City head to Perth Glory on Saturday night following the permanent appointment of Rado Vidosic, who will remain in charge until 2025 having replaced Patrick Kisnorbo in November.
City are warm favourite against the Glory, but will need to be wary of the hosts and their six-game unbeaten run – seven undefeated at home – that’s lifted them to seventh on the table and back in the hunt for finals.

Vidosic’s side have been ruthless in their eight games against bottom-half opponents this season with seven wins for a 22-3 combined scoreline, but he warned there were more levels to reach from their 6-1 thrashing last time out.
“Against Western Sydney (1-1 draw) we played better, against Adelaide (3-3 draw) we played better, what was missing … was just goals, our performances … and phases of play were better,” he said.
“We can play better … there are still areas of our gameplan we can do better.
“If we can control transition moments we can improve, in both of those games we copped goals from giving the ball away … we didn’t deal with the transition moments.”
Vidosic will take charge of his first game since signing a permanent deal with City earlier this week.
An Australian football statesman having coached in A-League Men, Women’s and Youth league and been a technical director, he’s got the talented City squad firing.
“I’m enjoying every minute I’m working and spending time with the players … (it) was a no-brainer, I didn’t even speak to my wife about it,” Vidosic told reporters.
“When I got the interim job, the club told me if it was going well and the players were showing they’re appreciating your ideas, you can continue for longer.
“Everyone’s showing there’s a trust, believing in what we’re doing, and on the weekend we got rewarded for all the hard work.”
