David FeeneyGUEST
It's, uh, it's great to be back.
David FeeneyGUEST
I also checked my predictions from last year, and, uh, I think I thought the New South Wales teams were gonna do a little bit better than they did, uh, particularly Sydney Olympic.
David FeeneyGUEST
Uh, I thought Sydney Olympic were gonna do much, much better than they did last year.
David FeeneyGUEST
Uh, I also thought West Appia were gonna win, but, uh, I was wrong and, uh, the Victorian teams proved too good, uh, yet again.
David FeeneyGUEST
So, uh, yeah, hopefully, hopefully the predictions are a little bit better this time around.
Keith McKennaHOST
Yes.
Keith McKennaHOST
Um, and we'll get, especially talking on Sydney Olympic, because I think once again they'll be possibly a wild card of this upcoming Australia Championship, and especially what they've done in between the NPL seasons and this new, um, Australia Championship season.
Keith McKennaHOST
Um-
Matt WindleyHOST
Yeah.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
Even Sydney, Sydney Olympic have made some massive signings.
Bill PapastergiadisGUEST
We just signed Kosta Barbarous.
Matt WindleyHOST
Yeah, saw that.
Aaron BeggsHOST
Our guest today enjoyed a fantastic career that took him from the National Soccer League with St. George, Sydney Olympic and RPO Leichhardt and the Wollongong City Wolves to representing the Socceroos in Australia at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
Aaron BeggsHOST
He then became one of the most successful foreign players in Malaysian football history, scoring over 100 goals for Sabah and winning multiple Golden Boots and League titles.
Aaron BeggsHOST
Mr. Scott Ollarshaw, welcome to Beyond the Game Australia.

Scott OllerenshawGUEST
I didn't understand what fear was, what the fear of failure was.
Scott OllerenshawGUEST
I didn't understand that.
Scott OllerenshawGUEST
You know, it was only a couple of years later and I was a record transfer fee at Sydney Olympic and expectations.
Scott OllerenshawGUEST
And, you know, like I said, I always played my best football when I had something to prove.
Scott OllerenshawGUEST
But when I was, When something was expected of me, I didn't play my best football.
Ethan RiggGUEST
You'll have Lakeside, which is where South Melbourne will play.
Ethan RiggGUEST
And for Sydney Olympic, they in particular, I think are a very interesting talking point because they were relegated from NPR New South Wales this season.
Ethan RiggGUEST
They had a horror show of a season, but as one of the founding members for the Australian Championship, they then get to go again in the second tier.
Ethan RiggGUEST
and try and win it and sort of overrule the fact that they, on a domestic front, have had an awful 2026.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
Um, there's obviously been a fair few signings and rumors going around, which some are true, some aren't.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
Um, and yeah, I think, I think the Aus champs, looking into that, I think this year will probably, like some of the signings I've seen, like Sydney Olympic, RPR, us, like it, it's gonna be a, a crazy, crazy league.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
So I'm looking forward to it.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
And yeah, whether who the coach is, I'm not too sure.

Stefan MaukHOST
... that can put in the money, and those four can come into the A-League in, let's say, a year's time, why, why would you not give them a license? Why would you not let them be-
Blake CarpenterGUEST
Mm
Stefan MaukHOST
... aspirational? And if it's your South Melbournes, your Sydney Olympics, your Avondale and, and someone else, whoever it is, it, it doesn't make sense to not open it up more and open it up quicker, besides the, I guess, the closed shop and the, the franchise fee.
Stefan MaukHOST
And, and there's, there's a lot of things behind the scenes that need to get ticked off.
Keane McKennaHOST
I'd love to talk into your personal journey over the last 12 months.
Keane McKennaHOST
You were at Sydney Olympic last year during the NPL campaign and the Oz Championship in the inaugural season of that.
Keane McKennaHOST
Moved down to Avondale for this year.
Keane McKennaHOST
Talk to me about how that move came about, the transition down to Victoria and just your time at Avondale over the course of the season.
Jack GibsonGUEST
Yeah, so obviously we finished up the Sydney Olympic come the end of the championship, which was obviously the inaugural championship.
Jack GibsonGUEST
Great experience in itself.
Jack GibsonGUEST
Shame we didn't make finals.
5 MINS LATER
Jack GibsonGUEST
but no exciting times.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
There's obviously been a fair few signings and rumours going around, which some are true, some aren't.
Blake CarpenterGUEST
And yeah, I think the Aus champs, looking into that, I think this year will probably, like some of the signings I've seen, like Sydney Olympic, RPR, us like it's going to be a crazy crazy league so i'm looking forward to it and yeah whether who the coach is i'm not too sure hopefully i don't know whether i'm going back to left back or left wing but hopefully i still score some goals
Ben GaruccioHOST
i reckon if they're fucking if they've got their wits about them i think they're going to keep you at left wing if i was a gaffer coming in i'd probably be keeping you there in the form you're in as well
Blake CarpenterGUEST
yeah i want to know
5 MINS LATER
Stefan MaukHOST
Something's got to give, something's got to change.
Stefan MaukHOST
And I'm actually happy to see these Oz Championship teams putting in the money because realistically, out of the eight foundation teams, maybe not all of them can kind of put in this type of money.
Stefan MaukHOST
But if there's four of them that can put in the money and those four can come into the A-League in, let's say, a year's time, why would you not give them a license? Why would you not let them be aspirational? And if it's your South Melbourne, your Sydney Olympics, your...
Stefan MaukHOST
Avondale and someone else, whoever it is, it doesn't make sense to not open it up more and open it up quicker besides the, I guess, the closed shop and the franchise fee.
Neil SherwinGUEST
An 18-year-old, which is an intriguing one from Sebastian Kukuka.
Neil SherwinGUEST
from Sydney Olympic.
Neil SherwinGUEST
I had a lot of people saying, you know, we've not got 18-year-old wingers in our own league.
Neil SherwinGUEST
We may be given a chance, which is a fair point.
Sean KellyHOST
And they've obviously signed Sean O'Connor from Perth Italia, which is a good pickup.
Sean KellyHOST
But they've got games against Marconi, Sydney Olympic and Oakley Cannons.
Sean KellyHOST
I mean, three very big teams when you're looking at...
Peter SzkielaHOST
Long-time Glory supporters will recognise at least two of those names.
Sean KellyHOST
Absolutely, yeah.
Sean KellyHOST
Marconi and Sydney Olympic.
Sean KellyHOST
But Oakley Cannons aren't that far behind either.
Sean KellyHOST
Oh, true.
AngeHOST
Because at the moment also, there's names being bandied everywhere.
AngeHOST
Rockdale, Sydney Olympic, Spirit, Marconi, Wollongong, Apia.
AngeHOST
There's players coming and going.
AngeHOST
Some players are only signing up for the Australian Championships.
