Box2Box, with Michael Edgley & Willem van Denderen!
Former Sydney Olympic director/chairman Damon Hanlin’s proposal to take over Central Coast has been before the APL for some weeks, but club & media discussion has been minimal. Championship Mariner Daniel McBreen (10/Paramount+) returns to get to the bottom of things, and assess the varied on-field characteristics of Perth, Brisbane & Newcastle.
As 2025 draws to a close, Simon Hill also returns to reflect on the year that has been in Australian football, its administration, and Socceroos and Matildas - and provide an update on his relocation back home.
Also on the agenda: AFCON kicks off in Morocco, Wellington’s women hit seven goals, Sam Kerr hits three goals in a week, & more…

With 2025 drawing to a close, Joey Lynch reviews the year that was for the Socceroos & Matildas - with majour tournaments to come for both in 2026. Joey also casts his eye over the big issues from the weekend’s A-Leagues round, both on and off the pitch.
Then to Liverpool, where a week has again proven a long time in football; a win in Europe and the League has Arne Slot’s side in better form, while Mo Salah has returned to the squad against expectation. The Athletic’s Reds reporter James Pearce returns.
Also on the agenda: FIFA World Cup ticket price outrage, Donovan says Popovic ‘got that smugness about him’, Newcastle Jets back in the winners’ circle and more…

The PFA’s annual reports into the A-League Men’s & Women’s competitions are always essential reading, but the damning nature of this year’s edition - released last Thursday - felt particularly important. Union Chief-executive Beau Busch returns, with well over half the men’s competition ‘dissatisfied’ or worse with the APL.
The Socceroos World Cup Group has been (almost) decided, set to play a host nation for the first time since 1974. Daniel Garb forecasts what looks a generous group by previous standards, as well as a word on the A-League Men’s on the field, and sad state of affairs at Anfield as Mo Salah goes nuclear.
Also on the agenda: South Melbourne win the Australian Championship, Adam Griffiths turns into self-proclaimed Lion, Wayne Gretzky fails his geography test & loads more!
