In this episode Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by the APL’s Managing Director Danny Townsend to discuss their decision to unify Australia’s top domestic leagues under the uniform banner of ‘A-Leagues’, doing away with the ‘W-League’ moniker.

Following that Simon Hill returns to the program to reflect the ABC’s mid-week Four Corners report into club ownership in Australia. What was the program’s objective? What did it achieve? Why now?

The Athletic’s Andy Naylor also analyses Brighton’s cracking start to the Premier League, Graham Potter’s side having defied expectations to sit sixth after six matches.

Willem van Denderen and Derek Dyson cover football from all corners of the globe, from the FFA Cup to the Champions League, and plenty in between.
