Goals Galore for our Aussies Abroad and National Teams Action

1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Foreign hello

2
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:19,240
and welcome to the Aussie Football Passport, your one stop pod for updates on

3
00:00:19,740 --> 00:00:22,560
your favourite Aussie men and women who are playing their club careers abroad.

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,360
I'm your host Alex and this week sees the return of club football in

5
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:30,190
Europe for both our men and women. They also continue to do

6
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:33,590
their thing across the globe, so don't worry, we've got you covered.

7
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:37,470
We've also got some more national teams news from the announcement of

8
00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:41,910
friendlies to junior national teams as well. I've also got a massive

9
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:45,830
apology to make after missing a Matilda's mighty performance last week.

10
00:00:46,470 --> 00:00:49,510
So without any further ado, let's get into the news

11
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:50,230
headlines.

12
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,760
All right, let's start with transfers and we've only got a couple this week and

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,200
our first one is a man moving to England. That's right,

14
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,040
Lewis Miller signing with Blackburn Rovers on a three year deal

15
00:01:08,540 --> 00:01:11,920
with an option for a further year. The transfer fee

16
00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:16,760
has not been disclosed and it takes our total of 18 Australians

17
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,640
in the championship. Wowzers. All right, now a

18
00:01:21,140 --> 00:01:24,840
man moving in the other direction to Lewis Miller. It's Keanu Backus.

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,420
He has signed a two year deal with an option for additional year

20
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:31,300
additional year with St Mirren.

21
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:34,740
Of course, Keanu previously played at St.

22
00:01:35,060 --> 00:01:39,500
Mirren a couple of seasons ago. He did transfer

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,060
from St Mirren to Mansfield Town for last season where he played a year there

24
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,780
in League one and he returns to St Mirren back

25
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,540
to familiar surrounds. All right now crossing

26
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,540
to the international game and the Parramatilters are aiming for their

27
00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,430
third third piece of silverware in as many years when the Intercontinental

28
00:02:00,930 --> 00:02:04,430
cup kicks off in England later this week. Fresh off

29
00:02:04,930 --> 00:02:07,990
an undefeated World cup campaign last year, the Paratilles

30
00:02:08,230 --> 00:02:12,029
enter the five team tournament full of confidence. They'll face the

31
00:02:12,529 --> 00:02:15,630
US and a who they defeated 62 in the world Cup

32
00:02:16,130 --> 00:02:19,670
Final in the Netherlands. They'll also play Nepal and Denmark.

33
00:02:20,150 --> 00:02:23,830
CP football is played on a modified size pitch with

34
00:02:24,330 --> 00:02:28,290
five players starting for each side. Tasman Colley

35
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:31,690
and Karina Georgian join the

36
00:02:32,190 --> 00:02:35,250
squad of eight with Ray Anderson, Georgia Bykoff,

37
00:02:35,330 --> 00:02:38,650
Rebecca Jones and Caitlin Smith making way from the

38
00:02:39,150 --> 00:02:42,770
squad of 10 which won the World cup last year. All group

39
00:02:43,270 --> 00:02:46,690
game fixtures will kick off at midnight Australian Eastern Standard Time.

40
00:02:47,170 --> 00:02:51,730
Make sure to tune in via the International Federation of Cerebral

41
00:02:51,890 --> 00:02:55,530
cerebral palsy football YouTube channel or keep up to

42
00:02:56,030 --> 00:02:59,180
date on Instagram at Para Matildas, so make sure

43
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,500
you follow them. Should be a great tournament and all the best to our

44
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,340
girls in that one. Now staying with national

45
00:03:07,500 --> 00:03:11,220
team news, The Junior Matildas under 17s have

46
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,300
learned their qualification opponents for next year's Asian cup. They've been

47
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,020
drawn alongside hosts Singapore and the Northern Mariana

48
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,210
Islands. The girls must finish on top of the group to progress to to

49
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:26,450
the Asian cup in full next year.

50
00:03:26,950 --> 00:03:30,010
So all the best to our Junior Matildas now

51
00:03:30,410 --> 00:03:34,170
going up an age group to the under 20s young Matildas.

52
00:03:34,670 --> 00:03:38,490
They began their Asian cup qualification campaign with a resounding

53
00:03:38,970 --> 00:03:43,010
14 nil win over Tajikistan. New Matilda

54
00:03:43,510 --> 00:03:47,410
Alexia Apostolakis captained the side in this one and

55
00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:51,310
there were seven different goal scorers as well as an own goal

56
00:03:51,810 --> 00:03:55,710
and a penalty. They then followed that result up with a

57
00:03:56,210 --> 00:03:59,830
three nil win over Palestine despite coach Alex Aparcus

58
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:03,270
making nine changes to his side from the previous game.

59
00:04:03,750 --> 00:04:07,470
Trimas, Lukt, Meyer and Lobo were the goal scorers

60
00:04:07,970 --> 00:04:11,710
in that game and the Young Matildas secured their spot in

61
00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:15,670
next year's tournament with another 30 win this time over Chinese

62
00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:20,130
Taipei. There are another nine changes made to the starting

63
00:04:20,630 --> 00:04:23,890
lineup for this game, but it didn't seem to be an issue in another

64
00:04:24,050 --> 00:04:27,570
great win for our girls. An own goal and Sky

65
00:04:27,730 --> 00:04:31,250
Hallmark Brace made up the score sheet in

66
00:04:31,750 --> 00:04:35,210
that game. Now onto our under 23 women who

67
00:04:35,710 --> 00:04:39,770
lost the opening game of the ASEAN championship going down 3:1

68
00:04:40,270 --> 00:04:43,610
to Myanmar. Surprisingly, Holly Furfy was

69
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:47,640
the the goal scorer in that one. They did bounce back in

70
00:04:48,140 --> 00:04:51,360
their next game with a one nil win over the Philippines who are the defending

71
00:04:51,860 --> 00:04:55,480
champions. So a good win that one. Ten changes are made

72
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,800
between the starting lineups of the two games there and

73
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:04,080
Alana Yank Chevsky was the goal scorer and match winner for

74
00:05:04,580 --> 00:05:08,720
that game. The girls will fight. The girls will face Timor Lest in

75
00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:12,520
their next game, the final group game for for them and a result

76
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:17,400
is required to progress to the next round. Now sticking

77
00:05:17,900 --> 00:05:21,840
with the Matilda's theme, Steph Catley has received a Ballon

78
00:05:22,340 --> 00:05:25,880
d' or nomination for her outstanding season at club and

79
00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:30,480
international level. She made the prestigious 30 player list with

80
00:05:30,980 --> 00:05:34,520
the winner set to be announced on the 22nd of September.

81
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:38,480
So we have everything crossed for you, Stephen.

82
00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:42,350
Let's hope she gets the gong, but I

83
00:05:42,850 --> 00:05:46,470
highly doubt it, unfortunately. We will keep you updated

84
00:05:46,970 --> 00:05:50,390
as to where Steph finishes on that announcement.

85
00:05:50,950 --> 00:05:54,629
All right. Now speaking of the Matildas, news has

86
00:05:55,129 --> 00:05:59,110
broke today that the ladies will play Wales in the October international

87
00:05:59,350 --> 00:06:02,590
window. The game will take place at the

88
00:06:03,090 --> 00:06:06,910
Cardiff city Stadium on the 25th of October local time. It'll be

89
00:06:07,410 --> 00:06:11,250
the 26th or the early hours of the 26th of October Australian

90
00:06:11,750 --> 00:06:15,690
time. This will be the first of two games in that international window. With another

91
00:06:16,190 --> 00:06:19,610
opponent set to be announced shortly and we'll keep you updated

92
00:06:20,110 --> 00:06:23,610
on that one. All right, now over to the men's national teams and

93
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:27,890
the under 17 Joeys have found out their group for the 2026

94
00:06:28,390 --> 00:06:31,610
Asian cup qualifiers. They've been drawn alongside host

95
00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:35,810
nation Jordan, Iraq, Philippines and Bhutan in Group

96
00:06:36,310 --> 00:06:39,680
E. The group winners will progress to next year's tournament,

97
00:06:40,180 --> 00:06:43,440
so best of luck to our Joeys. All right, that's it for the

98
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:45,880
headlines. Next up, the weekly wrap.

99
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,000
All right, it is a big weekly wrap this week, so buckle

100
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:02,040
up. Let's start with our women and in the US And

101
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:06,100
A, the land of the free. Courtney vine. She got one minute for

102
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,980
North Carolina Courage in their 21 loss to Houston. Dash over

103
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:14,820
to the Portland Thorns, who won the Cascadia

104
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,060
Derby against Seattle Rain 4 2. MacKenzie Arnold played the full game

105
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,980
in goal while Caitlin Torpy came on in the 75th

106
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,260
minute in that one. Now to Mexico, Emily gilnick.

107
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,450
She got 45 minutes for Monterrey in their 50 win over

108
00:07:31,950 --> 00:07:35,530
Mazatlan FC. Emily provided the assist

109
00:07:35,770 --> 00:07:39,450
for the third goal, continuing her strong form of late, of course,

110
00:07:39,950 --> 00:07:43,170
with the hat trick last week. That's I missed. So sorry

111
00:07:43,670 --> 00:07:47,650
to the listeners and more importantly, sorry to Emily. She will of

112
00:07:48,150 --> 00:07:51,530
course be awarded last week's Women's Player of the Week.

113
00:07:52,010 --> 00:07:55,570
In retrospect there. All right, now let's jump

114
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:59,850
on a plane and head over to Sweden where Courtney Nevin got a

115
00:08:00,350 --> 00:08:04,490
full game on her debut for Malmo FF in their 10 win over FC

116
00:08:04,990 --> 00:08:08,210
Rosengard. They are now one point from the top

117
00:08:08,710 --> 00:08:11,930
of the table there. So Courtney having an instant impact

118
00:08:12,090 --> 00:08:15,769
by the looks of things. Now Jada Wyman, she got the full

119
00:08:16,269 --> 00:08:19,850
game for AIK as they defeated Christianstad 2 nil in

120
00:08:20,350 --> 00:08:24,050
an Aussie derby. It is a clean sheet for Jada in

121
00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:27,660
that one. So great to see her returning for her club

122
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,780
side. On the other side for Christian Stud, Amy Sayer, she played the

123
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,500
full game whilst Remy Siemenson got 27 minutes from

124
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,260
the bench. Now another debutante, Daniela galic.

125
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,460
She got 17 minutes in her debut for Vitro in their

126
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,700
21 win over Pattaya. Polly Doran, she got 8 minutes

127
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,740
for Linkoping as they lost 4 nil to Vax Joe.

128
00:08:52,530 --> 00:08:56,210
AV Luik, she got a full game for her side at BK Hacken

129
00:08:56,710 --> 00:09:00,370
in their 41 win over Jurgarden there rounding

130
00:09:00,870 --> 00:09:04,930
out the action in Sweden. Now down to England where Katrina Gorey

131
00:09:05,430 --> 00:09:08,890
played the first half of West Ham's pre season friendly against Sparta

132
00:09:09,390 --> 00:09:13,130
Prague which they won 1 nil. Over to France where

133
00:09:13,630 --> 00:09:17,450
there was another preseason friendly that involved our goalkeeper Tegan

134
00:09:17,950 --> 00:09:21,570
Micah. She was a second half substitute as Lyon won five nil

135
00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:25,360
over Servette there. Now to Italy where our

136
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:29,440
three Australian ladies, Winona Heatley, Alex Chidiak

137
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:33,680
and Jessica Nash made their first appearances for their new club sides

138
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:37,960
of course Winona Heatley at Roma, Alex Chidiac at Como and Jessica

139
00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:42,120
Nash at Seswallow. They were all in preseason

140
00:09:42,620 --> 00:09:46,480
friendly action as the Serie A feminile kicks off in October

141
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,560
and the ladies get to know their teammates there. So that's

142
00:09:51,060 --> 00:09:53,960
it for our women for this week. Now let's head over to the men.

143
00:09:54,460 --> 00:09:58,960
There was plenty of action this week and let's start in

144
00:09:59,460 --> 00:10:03,920
our home away from home, Scotland. It was Aussie Derby time on

145
00:10:04,420 --> 00:10:07,640
Tuesday morning. Australian time last week where the Harts

146
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:11,560
played Aberdeen with victory going to Cameron Devlin's

147
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:16,440
Hearts two nil in that one. Devlin got a full game whilst Nicholas

148
00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:21,000
Milanovic played 18 minutes for Aberdeen and Kasuna Yangi played 61

149
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:25,500
minutes. Kasuni and Nicholas then followed it up

150
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,620
with another two nil loss to Celtic at

151
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:33,300
the weekend in Scottish League action. Yangi got

152
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,180
54 minutes whilst Milanovic got 72 minutes in that

153
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:41,220
one. Now heading back to Hearts where Cameron Devlin backed it up

154
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:45,380
on the weekend with yet another Aussie derby. I believe this will

155
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,460
become a bit of a theme of the podcast as it goes on this season.

156
00:10:51,210 --> 00:10:54,730
This time Hearts played Dundee United where

157
00:10:55,230 --> 00:10:58,890
of course Cameron Devlin faced off with Zach Sapsford who himself

158
00:10:59,390 --> 00:11:03,010
was backing up from a Conference League qualification game, but we'll

159
00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:07,010
get back to that soon. However, the Hartz Dundee

160
00:11:07,510 --> 00:11:10,690
United game ended 3:2 to Hartz with Devlin getting a full game and

161
00:11:11,190 --> 00:11:14,850
Zach Sapsford playing 65 minutes. Now back to that Conference

162
00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:19,180
League game in midweek where Zach Sapsford put in a star performance,

163
00:11:20,140 --> 00:11:23,580
playing 89 minutes and scoring a goal and

164
00:11:23,740 --> 00:11:26,780
providing an assist as Dundee United drew two all

165
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,820
with rapid veen there. The return leg is

166
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:35,020
to follow this week. All right, now let's head over to Livingston

167
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,500
where they beat fellow promoted side Falkirk 31

168
00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:43,500
with our Aussies playing a part there. Captain Ryan McGowan

169
00:11:43,740 --> 00:11:47,260
played the full game while Kusuni's brother teta Yengi

170
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:53,800
played 24 minutes off the bench. Now to the man who recently rejoined

171
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,560
St. Mirren, I should say Keanu Backus. He played a full

172
00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:01,640
game in their nil or draw with Motherwell. In yet another Aussie derby

173
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160
for Motherwell, John Katrumbas played 41 minutes while

174
00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:08,800
Apostolos Damatilopoulos played 20 minutes in

175
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:12,640
that one. John Iredale. He got a full game as Hibbs beat

176
00:12:13,140 --> 00:12:17,250
Partisan Belgrade 20 in midweek in a Conference League qualifier.

177
00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:21,970
He then backed it up with 32 minutes in a two all draw against Kilmarnock

178
00:12:22,470 --> 00:12:25,490
in a Scottish Premier League game. All right,

179
00:12:25,810 --> 00:12:29,210
let's head to Netherlands where Jordan boss played

180
00:12:29,710 --> 00:12:33,450
a full game for Feyenoord and provided an assist in their 21 win

181
00:12:33,950 --> 00:12:37,330
over Fenerbahce in the first leg of a Champions League

182
00:12:37,830 --> 00:12:41,450
qualifier. So well done to Jordan there. Particularly of note considering

183
00:12:41,950 --> 00:12:45,570
that Fenerbahce is coached by none other than Jose Mourinho.

184
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,640
He then so going back to Jordan boss, I should say he backed it up

185
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:54,480
with 20, 28 minutes on the weekend in a 2 nil win over NAC

186
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Breda where he came up against fellow Australian Max Ballard.

187
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Max Ballard played the full game for Breda in midfield there.

188
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,440
All right, Croatia now. And Fran Karachic.

189
00:13:06,940 --> 00:13:10,760
He got 84 minutes for Hajic split in their 21 win over Dinamo

190
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:15,740
Tirana in a Conference League qualifier. First leg encounter.

191
00:13:15,900 --> 00:13:19,460
Anthony Kalik got 57 minutes in the same game

192
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,820
and both gentlemen backed up at the weekend in Hajic splits two nil

193
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:28,300
win over Goruka in the Croatian league. Karachic played

194
00:13:28,460 --> 00:13:32,140
23 minutes and Kalik got six minutes in that one.

195
00:13:32,780 --> 00:13:36,180
Austria and Jed Drew. He put in a

196
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:39,940
match winning performance in his 80 minutes on the field as his

197
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,790
side Hartberg won one nil over Blau Weiss. Lindsay there,

198
00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:48,830
so well done to Jed. Sorry for a great

199
00:13:49,330 --> 00:13:52,510
performance there in a bit of a difficult time

200
00:13:53,010 --> 00:13:56,750
for Jacob Italiano. He got 83 minutes for Grazer

201
00:13:57,250 --> 00:14:00,549
AK in their 5 nil loss to Red Bull Salzburg.

202
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:04,710
Ouch. Noah bottic. He got 15 minutes for Austria Veen

203
00:14:05,210 --> 00:14:08,590
in their 43 loss to Bannock Ostrava in a Conference

204
00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:12,680
League qualifier. The first leg of course with the return leg

205
00:14:13,180 --> 00:14:16,520
to be followed up in midweek next week.

206
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,960
He backed it up with 45 minutes for his side in their two nil

207
00:14:21,460 --> 00:14:24,520
loss to Wolfsburg AC in the Austrian League.

208
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Now to more Europa Conference League qualification

209
00:14:29,380 --> 00:14:33,200
action and this time we head to Norway where Nicholas D' Agostino

210
00:14:33,700 --> 00:14:37,360
got 11 minutes for his side Viking FK in

211
00:14:37,860 --> 00:14:40,800
the 31 loss to Basak Shia.

212
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,760
All right now to Serbia where our man Milos Degener.

213
00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:50,160
He got a full game for FK backer Topola in a unfortunate

214
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:53,960
one nil loss to Red Star Belgrade. Now to

215
00:14:54,460 --> 00:14:58,160
USA and KY Rolls. He got a full game for DC United in

216
00:14:58,660 --> 00:15:02,440
a two nil loss to New England. Revolution. Not looking very good

217
00:15:02,940 --> 00:15:06,720
for Kai's side DC United. I can't recall the last

218
00:15:07,220 --> 00:15:10,240
time they win if I'm quite honest. So it's been a little while.

219
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,140
Hopefully things change for his side soon.

220
00:15:14,620 --> 00:15:18,580
Patrick yazbek he got 89 minutes for Nashville SC as

221
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,540
they went down 2:1 to St. Louis where of course Jake

222
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,540
Girwood Reich plays his football. He got five minutes

223
00:15:26,620 --> 00:15:30,700
in that one. All right now moving on to Japan

224
00:15:30,860 --> 00:15:34,500
where Thomas Deng played a full game for Yokohama

225
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,940
F Marinos in a one nil loss to Tokyo Verde in a

226
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:43,510
local derby there Now Mitchell duke he got 23 minutes for Makaida

227
00:15:44,010 --> 00:15:47,710
Zelvia in a two nil win over Vissel Kobe in a bit of

228
00:15:48,210 --> 00:15:52,590
an upset there. Now let's go to Hungary where our man Daniel Auzani

229
00:15:53,090 --> 00:15:56,990
got seven minutes in Federen Cavaros 41 win over Ni

230
00:15:57,490 --> 00:16:01,190
Red Hazar there. So good to see Daniel kicking off

231
00:16:01,690 --> 00:16:05,870
his campaign in Hungary. Now let's head to England and Wales where

232
00:16:06,370 --> 00:16:10,190
we've got so many Australians in action but not too many actually

233
00:16:10,690 --> 00:16:14,250
got on the pitch this weekend unfortunately. But let's start with our

234
00:16:14,410 --> 00:16:18,770
wingman Nestry. Erin Kunder he got 28 minutes for Watford in

235
00:16:19,270 --> 00:16:22,450
their one nil loss to Charlton Athletic and he also thought

236
00:16:22,950 --> 00:16:26,810
he won a penalty but the ref decided otherwise. But it looks like

237
00:16:27,310 --> 00:16:30,810
Nestry has hit the ground running for his new side there.

238
00:16:31,770 --> 00:16:35,210
Massimo Longo he got a

239
00:16:35,710 --> 00:16:39,770
massive amount of minutes. No that is sarcasm. One minute for Millwall in their

240
00:16:40,270 --> 00:16:43,700
21 win over Norwich on the weekend. Now Sam

241
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:48,100
Silvera in a new left wing back role for Middlesbrough.

242
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,020
He played the full game as they went on to win 1 nil over Swansea

243
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,460
for whom Cameron Burgess played the full game. However,

244
00:16:55,940 --> 00:16:59,300
in unfortunate news, Thomas Glover was on the bench for Borrow

245
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,460
but he got no minutes. And of course Riley McGree is currently out injured.

246
00:17:04,020 --> 00:17:07,740
If we get some further information on that we will certainly let

247
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,899
you know in next week's show. Lewis Miller he got 30

248
00:17:12,399 --> 00:17:15,939
minutes on debut for Blackburn in their 1 nil loss to

249
00:17:16,439 --> 00:17:20,139
West Brom. Kelly Adamson, he got 24 minutes for

250
00:17:20,639 --> 00:17:23,619
QPR in their 1 all draw with Preston North End.

251
00:17:24,179 --> 00:17:28,219
Daniel Benny was on the bench for that one. Kaylin Jalen Pearman,

252
00:17:28,719 --> 00:17:30,979
sorry, was not on the bench unfortunately.

253
00:17:31,699 --> 00:17:35,299
Now Adrian Sega, he got 89 minutes

254
00:17:35,799 --> 00:17:39,219
and a goal. The only goal in fact in Portsmouth's one nil win over

255
00:17:39,719 --> 00:17:43,120
Oxford United. Adrian Sega was substituted

256
00:17:43,620 --> 00:17:47,280
for fellow Aussie Thomas Waddingham there whilst Hayden Matthews was on

257
00:17:47,780 --> 00:17:51,160
the bench but got no minutes. And of course Jacob Farrell

258
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,960
was not in the matchday squad there all

259
00:17:55,460 --> 00:17:59,560
right, let's drop down a division to Ligue 1 where we had Nicholas

260
00:18:00,060 --> 00:18:03,840
Bilakovic playing a full game for Peterborough in their

261
00:18:04,340 --> 00:18:08,030
21 loss to Luton Town. Tyrese Francois,

262
00:18:08,530 --> 00:18:11,830
he got a full game for Wigan Athletic in their two nil loss

263
00:18:11,910 --> 00:18:15,430
to Leighton Orient. And Kayla Watts, he played a

264
00:18:15,930 --> 00:18:19,190
full game for Plymouth Argyle in their two nil loss to Bolton.

265
00:18:19,590 --> 00:18:22,910
And let's drop down another division where we go

266
00:18:23,410 --> 00:18:27,110
to League Two action. And Gethin Jones played a full game for MK Dons

267
00:18:27,190 --> 00:18:31,190
in their two nil win over Barrow, whilst Jake Holman got 17

268
00:18:31,690 --> 00:18:34,870
minutes for Walsall in their one nil loss to Gillingham.

269
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,960
All right, and our final destination this week in the weekly wrap

270
00:18:39,460 --> 00:18:42,880
is Italy, where our man Alessandro Cucati played in

271
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:46,920
Palmer's 21 loss to FC Heidenheim in their final

272
00:18:47,420 --> 00:18:51,079
preseason friendly match as we look towards the

273
00:18:51,579 --> 00:18:55,000
Serie A kicking off in the next fortnight. All right, that's it for the

274
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,480
weekly wrap. Let's head over to Players of the Week in just a second.

275
00:19:06,990 --> 00:19:10,790
All right, Players of the week time. And don't worry, I have absolutely

276
00:19:11,290 --> 00:19:15,150
triple checked our ladies this week and what they've been up to

277
00:19:15,470 --> 00:19:18,830
in club action. And it has meant

278
00:19:19,330 --> 00:19:22,830
that Alana Kennedy is our woman's Player of

279
00:19:23,330 --> 00:19:26,550
the Week. She played a full match for Angel City in their one all draw

280
00:19:27,050 --> 00:19:30,750
with San Diego Wave. And in fact she scored a stoppage time header that leveled

281
00:19:31,250 --> 00:19:34,750
the game and got her the award this week. So congratulations,

282
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:38,810
Alana. And of course, as mentioned earlier, I'd like to give Emily

283
00:19:39,310 --> 00:19:41,770
Gilnick our Player of the Week for last week's episode,

284
00:19:43,370 --> 00:19:46,730
courtesy of my complete lack

285
00:19:47,230 --> 00:19:50,490
of research. Or shall I say

286
00:19:51,290 --> 00:19:54,730
blame the sources. No, that's not very fun. It should be up to me.

287
00:19:55,230 --> 00:19:58,810
But anyway, let's stop rambling and let's move on to

288
00:19:58,890 --> 00:20:02,210
our men's Player of the Week. And who else

289
00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:06,410
could it be but our man Marty Boyle? Well, on the weekend he only

290
00:20:06,910 --> 00:20:10,090
got 32 minutes for Kilmart against Kilmarnock in that

291
00:20:10,590 --> 00:20:14,970
two all draw in Scottish Premier League action. But it was his midweek heroics

292
00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:19,290
where he played 74 minutes but got a brace against Partisan

293
00:20:19,790 --> 00:20:23,170
Belgrade in the Conference League. Always hard to do when

294
00:20:23,670 --> 00:20:27,370
you're away, especially in Serbia, which is very hostile conditions

295
00:20:27,450 --> 00:20:31,610
typically. And he's given his side Hibs a

296
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:35,370
great advantage in in the return leg to be played in

297
00:20:35,870 --> 00:20:39,730
Scotland this week coming they were his 100th

298
00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:42,850
and 101st goals for the club.

299
00:20:43,010 --> 00:20:47,050
So well done to Marty. We look forward to seeing more

300
00:20:47,550 --> 00:20:51,330
of that in green and gold as well. All right,

301
00:20:51,830 --> 00:20:55,050
folks. Well, that is it for another week of the Aussie football passport. I hope
