Another A-League Men review on the Front Page Football Podcast! Host Christian Marchetti takes you through all his thoughts from the weekend's matches!

Christian starts by describing a sensational performance by Adelaide United's winger Nestory Irankunda against Western United, which saw the Bayern Munich bound star score a phenomenal hat-trick. He highlights the small improvements Irankunda has been making in his game recently and explains why Australian football needs to embrace the young talent more (2:27).
