Re: WLeague Coach
Well he was the assistant last W-League season so knowledge wouldn't be a big worryRightside wrote:Well glad we have an announcement......hard to know how familiar he really is with the women’s game but it doesn't sound like a bad appointment.

Re: WLeague Coach
Great appointment.
A young, local coach with vast experience already under his belt, experience at AUFC, and a good working relationship with the coaching community across the state. I'm sure he will spend the time getting to know the local WNPL talent over the next two months before the season concludes but I expect his best work will come not so much in the short term but in the longer run.

Re: WLeague Coach
WOW that was an unexpected result. Good luck Ivan. Good luck.
The early appointment is positive.
Huss' departure from the W League is unfortunate. The assembled team was one of our best. The USA girls sublime in their talent. The Brazilian superb. The local girls made the FOXTEL and Radio commentators take note by acknowledging SA women's football was in good shape. No better advertisement for our local comp and talent. They may not have been professionals in the sense of football being their main career but or local girls represented themselves wonderfully.
As we always say on this Forum "Do it well. Do it for the Girls. They deserve the Best".
Roll on Season 2017/2018

Well said Billy the Kid. I couldn't agree more with what you have written. I particularly like what you said about the "local" girls which contrasts sharply with what "Sportsbird" was writing about our girls. I am living in London now so it is a pity that I will only get to see a couple of games when I temporarily return around Xmas time for a few weeks. So refreshing to read some positive comments on this forum for a change. I hope that you are enjoying the WNPL as I see that it is tight at the top.

Re: WLeague Coach
Happy in the land of OZ
Thanks Unite We Stand.
Hopefully the AUFC hand out some $$$$ to the team and provide them with the facilities and support much earlier than a month or two before the season starts. Oh well one out of two might not be so bad.

Re: WLeague Coach
What a great appointment. Ivan Karlovic is the best choice to go forward with the Lady Reds and well into the future.
Ivan is a fantastic communicator and well respected. Ivan has a great football brain and has the skills and knowledge to pass down to the lady reds.
Since Ivan's appointment, there has been a big buzz within the women's football circle. Adelaide United F/C should be applauded for appointing the right person as Head coach. AUWFC also made the right decision not to appoint any previous coaches who were involved with the lady reds in the past.
What I hear coming out of AUWFC is that Ivan will be recruiting young experienced players from the WNPL to develop for the long term rather than short term. There have been too many turnovers of players in the past who have not succeeded or have secured their position. Ivan will be looking at balancing the squad with a mixture of youth and incorporating with senior interstate/overseas players.
Women's football in SA will now be heading in the right direction.
My opinion on some of the WNPL players that will be looked at for the initial squad.
West Adelaide
Nicole Tilley
Elena Psaroulis
Sarah Willacy
Georgia Nicola - Would have been selected if she was not injured
Adelaide City
Daniela Di Bartolo
Alex Chidiak
Georgia Campagnale
Metro United
Lauren Steer - Would have been selected if she was not injured
Isabella Scalzi
Chrissy Panagaris
Ebony Kyriacou
Adelaide Uni
Emily Condon
Maria Rojas
Jenna McCormick
Fulham
Claudia Jenkins
Salisbury Inter
Nil
Cumberland
Hannah Custance
Campbelltown
Kelsey Zafaridis
My opinion on the State League players that will also be looked at.
Adelaide Comets
Sarah Chappel
Victoria Mansueto
Para Hills Knight
Nil
NTC
Sharni Tansell
Georgia Ianella
South Adelaide
Nil
Croydon Kings
Nil
Stirling Districts

Re: WLeague Coach
Great appointment im sure he will do a good job. So if he is going to recruit for the long term i hope we dont slam him if he doesnt make finals im all for the young and development.
Just on some of your players sportsbird claudia jenkins is off to america for 4 years unfortunately and you left out the captain stella rigon.......any reason...

Re: WLeague Coach
Thanks for your opinion Sportsbird re potential players and I am sure a lot of those players will be considered for selection. I may have seen a few more state league games than yourself this season so I would like to add that there are a few more girls in the NTC team that I think may be in the mix as well. Emily Hodgson would be one of those especially considering she was in the team last year.
There will always be differing opinions re selection but it is a positive that the coach has been announced earlier compared to previous seasons. Combined with the local talent and hopefully the o/seas players from last season returning, I am confident that the team will have success.

Re: WLeague Coach
Finding Sportsbird,
In answer to your question regarding Stella Rigon, Having played with Stella and against her, I feel that she is not quite up to the standard of W League. Fantastic player in the WNPL and a great ambassador for Fulham United.
However, Stella has one great asset of having set shots at goals and is a good communicator but at W League level you need more, much more.
I have followed her last year and my opinion still remains the same.
In relation to Claudia Jenkins, I was not aware that she is heading to America. Good Luck to Claudia.
I also forgot to mention Grace Abbey who has returned from Melbourne.
There are several names that I have not mentioned especially in the NTC that I believe will be W League players in the future.
Seen several of the NTC games and found quite alot of talented girls.

Yes, I have been told that both Grace Abbey and Ally Ladas have returned from Melbourne. Both did well last season and should be considered. Has Grace played yet? I haven't seen her named in any team lineup on the FFSA website.

As you seem to now everything about women's football, what is the feeling around Adelaide City Women's Club players who were allegedly promised a Lady Reds stint now that it has been confirmed that PP will not be Head Coach?

Thanks for the analogy of me, Sportsbird - I agree with you. Sorry to disappoint you last season.

Re: WLeague Coach
I think you are a fantastic player stella keep going as most sport educated people will know playing in a higher level is a big gap from local level. It will take time to a just but you have a lot of potential keep going.

Hi Stella,
My opinion on you is only my opinion. This is not a personal attack but my analysis on your form.
One thing I know about you is that you always strive to be the best you can. I know you will prove me wrong in the future. Good luck.

Re: WLeague Coach
He's worked with the STIC or Skillaroo's (Unsure of their name), 15's girls all year and took them away to nationals in Canberra.billy the kid wrote:Pardon my ignorance but what did he do in Canberra? W league?
I think they either won it or came second.
By all reports from parents and FFSA delegates he has worked exceptionally well with the group, even though some of the first choice girls missed the tournament through injury.

Re: WLeague Coach
Michael Matricciani (sp?) is the FFSA NTC coach. They competed in the NTC challenge in Canberra in July. Jonno Ruse is FFSA U 15 coach they played at Coffs Harbour earlier in July at the National Junior Championships.
Not sure how either team did. The results are not well-publicized as FFA insists it's about development. NTC won the whole thing, technical points and W/L, in 2014 under Ross Aloisi.
