The A-League Men is back! Of all the football leagues, in all the towns, in all the world, the A-Liga Blokes walks into mine…

Joey, Stoll, and D'Urbano break down every game of the opening week of the Australian men's top flight, starting with Melbourne City's 2-1 over Western United (8:33). That's followed by Brisbane Roar and Macarthur FC's 0-0 draw (25:54), Central Coast and Newcastle's washout (38:37), and Melbourne Victory's come-from-behind win over Sydney (43:28) as well as the unsavoury bottle-throwing incident (57:08).

Having commentated all three games, Josh then jumps on to discuss the Joeys' successful qualification for the AFC U17 Cup (1:01:00), before the crew turn their attention to Wellington and Adelaide's 1-1 draw in New Zealand (1:16:37) and Western Sydney Wanderers attritional 1-0 win over Perth Glory (1:23:00).

Taryn Heddo then jumps aboard to analyse the Matildas' 4-1 win over South Africa and look ahead to their fixture against Denmark (1:32:13) and then departs as the crew turns their thoughts to the washup from the Australia Cup final (1:48:11), the first week in TNC fantasy (1:57:20), and general nonsense.
