FFA may have pushed the match back but that hasn-t dampened our thirst for the first Melbourne derby. As Heart and Victory prepare to go head-to-head, we talk to Heart skipper Simon Colosimo about the new franchise-s tough start and why a proper derby belongs in Melbourne.
We got Jason Culina out of bed to talk about Gold Coast United, and he told us to forget the hype of last season; this year Miron Bleiberg-s team are planning to fly under the radar. Danny McBreen reckons life-s never been better than with Central Coast Mariners - but he-s still not happy.
Perth Glory striker Michael Baird says he-s still sick about his ban for diving but Robbie Fowler-s hijinks get him through the day. And Scott Jamieson - he moved from the wooden-spooners to the champions and now they-re bottom of the league! Is he cursed? Not if he-s got anything to do with it.
Plus we hear from Socceroo Nikita Rukavystya in Berlin, take a look at the Premier League battlers, investigate the new generation of total midfielders and Iain Fyfe tells us all about Sergio van Dijk-s special creams.
All that and more in Australian Football Weekly - get it at your next A-League game.
