Yes it was a great win considering several players down in form. Emily Condon and Maria Rojas were kept quiet, Chelsea Dawber had no impact must still have an injury concern, Fiona Worts and Georgia Campagnale needs to be replaced as they have not been effective or have any impact in the game. If i...

Wash up from season 2020? Which coaches are where? Comets and City have new coaches. New to the WNPL. Not just established heads moving from one club to another. Better throw Fulham into the mix with their new bloke. Good to see new people at the helm. Won't be long before pre-season games start. W...

After my post from yesterday was removed (must have hit a little too close to home), I will reiterate the information a little clearer. So the Referee Committee Chairman and one of his committeemen have decided to leave, less than 12 months into their jaunt. Call it choice or call it pushed. Its is...

Well done Adrian Stenta and the team for a great win against Perth Glory. It was an entertaining game and a great second half. Great game from Emily Condon but unfortunately ended up with concussion. Hopefully she will be available next week. Finally the current players were placed in their correct...

another favourable draw for the Spuds... FA must be pulling some strings to help them finally win a trophy

Not as favourable as Man City's draw... Again

I would like to say it was an entertaining game but sadly a game that AU would rather forget. But looking at the line up prior to the game, I was absolutely flabbergasted and confused. People would say it was because of injuries to two players Laura Johns and Charlotte Grant. That is not an excuse ...

Nothing bad to say about Karlovic this time around?
Makes a nice change

I wonder if sportsbird attended the AUFC Members forum this week and raised her many criticisms and claims to the club and Ivan directly. I very much doubt it.

One would be wise to assume from the lack of a response, sportsbird didn't attend and bring up and issues

Not a chance. Surely. Too much of a keyboard warrior to actually attend something in person and air their issues directly.

Haven't seen too many clubs announce many, if any players for the 2021 season yet.
Interested to see if there's any big name moves to follow coaches.
Likewise, will be interesting to see how many bench/reserves WNPL players from 2020 will drop to a State League club for more First Team action

The best comment by far here on this topic is...An AUFC-W academy side playing in the WNPL. Brilliant. Should be a done deal. Would make sense. Exactly the same way the men's side to it. But look how long that took to happen for the men. I wouldn't have thought it'd happen any time soon. But I agre...

Hopefully this doesn't end up last like time where there were teams in the State League that looked like they'd never played football before and just got blown out the water. It's actually surprising that they're allowing clubs that are starting up/restarting to jump straight in. I really hope that ...

One of the best to have ever played our game. A legend

I heard having the Grand Finals seperate was Ivan's idea Yes i heard that too but I could not substantiate it. Interesting, considering I completely made it up. [/quote Well Nathan, as if anyone would believe that story. Glad to see you replied. try again. Sportsbird you talk that much cabernet tha...

Do you ever have anything positive to say SportsBirrd ? Whinge , complain , moan Yet do you put your hand up and help Pity your husband CU next Saturday, Yes your right, I do not have anything positive to say about how our competition is running in SA because there is nothing positive to say other ...

State League ? struggle to have enough quality WNPL players for all eight teams Having said that there are some players playing WNPL Reserves who would be playing WNPL if they were at another club What happens if at the end of 2021 season, a team to nominates or qualifies to play WNPL , must they b...

Apparently no players from the WNPL Championship winning side of Metro United. For a club that's one of...

Metro could have a huge turnover in the off season. Tony's got his work cut out for him that's for sure. Stella Rigon announced her retirement via social media today. I can imagine she won't be the only one. Will be interesting to see who they replace some of the potential 5+ players that could very...

Coming from sources inside Salisbury Inter camp that Tracey Jenkins has been confirmed as Head coach of West Adelaide. Salisbury Inter are absolutely livid with Tracey and West Adelaide for chasing her and negotiating behind the scenes especially prior to finals. Apparently Tracey promised SI to bu...

when does season start , are fixtures out yet ?

Community Shield is this weekend, PL starts 12 September

Considering the length of the suspended sentence, I think he's very very lucky to have had the entire 21 months suspended and not serve any jail time at all.
For what he did, personally think he should be serving jail time.
But yeah, his profile and Man Utd has probably got him off here

Sportsbird I'm not sure the clubs will take up the selection of 10 AC players to AU or FF SA. Why would clubs be concerned at selection? Is you concern about AC becoming the club of choice? The way I see it AC is currently at where Pezos wanted it to be with AC: Come to AC and you'll be a chance fo...

Well, we've done it. Australia and NZ will host the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023. Vote ended up 22-13 over Colombia.
A huge result for not only women's football, but women's sport.
This is a game changer for football in this country

What's the bets that Para Hills stays up now?

UWS if you seriously think City had a better squad than Metro in 2016, you're delusional. Using the "City have players in the W-League squad and Metro don't" argument is bollocks and you know it. Metro should have at least 3, if not more in that squad, and it's absurd that they don't. As has been sa...

A few in there that shouldn't be imo. There were better players in the WNPL than some who were selected.

And Mark Jones' daughter still in the squad. Which is absurd in itself.

It makes absolutely 0 sense. The State League will be gone and it makes a mockery of the promotion/relegation playoff that occurred during the WNPL Finals Series.
And I agree, after PHKs woeful season, is their place in the WNPL next season warranted? I think most people would say no.
