Get Lucas Herrington a decent English coffee (ft. Ben Smith)
Colorado to Hull or flatmates in Lisbon, it's been a summer of representation and relocation for Australian football's next generation of stars.
Following on from a World Cup campaign filled with hope, promise and yet a bitter ending, Lucas Herrington, Alessandro Circati and Nestory Irankunda (along with Patrick Beach and Paul Okon-Engstler) secured big money transfers to some of Europe's glamour clubs (and also Hull City).
Longtime Beyond the Fence guest contributor Ben Smith from Seven West Media joins Ben Quagliata to discuss the World Cup experience, covering the Socceroos abroad, the hopes for Herrington in England, finding a decent coffee abroad and so much more.

Khawaja's final Sydney show and the looming spectre of the unknown (ft. Steve Smith and Ryan O'Connell)
The Ashes are done, the worst Australian side since 2010 securing a dominant 4-1 series victory over the best English side since 2010 with a five wicket victory at the SCG.
Ben Quagliata is joined for the final time this summer by Steve Smith (ESPN Australia) and Ryan O'Connell (The Roar) to reflect on a series defined by cartoonishly bad shots and worse fielding, waxing lyrical on the feats of Mitchell Starc and Travis Head, toasting the Test career of Usman Khawaja, the future of Australia's batting order and much more.

Australia have sewn up the Ashes, cruising to a statistically unassailable 3-0 lead after a dominant Adelaide display, so Ben Quagliata is rejoined by Steve Smith (ESPN Australia) and Ryan O'Connell (The Roar) to break down where it's gone so right (or wrong depending on your point of view), including a post mortem on Ben Stokes' leadership, a triumphant (and unexpected Usman Khawaja return, Cam Green's spot in the side, the returns of Todd Murphy and Jhye Richardson for Boxing Day, and much more.
