Neil Bennett makes his pod debut and gives us a long-awaited update on NPLW WA. Eric is the proud owner of a signed Michelle Heyman jersey – he also selects a ShePlays FA WSL squad and tries his best to stick to the Emerald Isle, with a few exceptions. Cheryl runs through the latest W-League signings and Dale talks about Canberra football, leaving Steffen to provide a massive Nordic wrap.
