Join Josh Parish and George Donikian for the debut episode of our new weekly programme, The State Of Our Football Nation!
Every Thursday from 6pm, we'll discuss the issues in Australian football that matter with the people that matter.
On tonight's show, we're joined by Premier League referee Simon Hooper, who is in Melbourne on the FFA/PGMOL exchange programme. He'll be refereeing an NPL Victoria game, and imparting some valuable wisdom upon our up and coming match officials.
We then welcome Macarthur FC CEO Archie Fraser to the show, to discuss the club's goals and preparations for their entry into the A-League in 2020. Archie chats indigenous football programmes, the stadium deal at Campbelltown, A-League independence and much more in this wide-ranging chat.
