Everyone is on the decade ender bandwagon. I wish I could bring you an epic one that could tell the tale of women’s football in this country, to speak on the pioneers, the growth, hardship and love over the last ten years. However, ten years ago I was falling out of love with the game….
Prediction Thursday – Round
Can you believe it? Christmas has just passed and we’re halfway through the W-League season. The summer is whizzing past our very own eyes! I’m currently full of Christmas food, so the idea of food puns leaves me slightly nauseous right now. Still, with a lack of food puns, I hope you enjoy. Canberra…
With Family in Your Corner
Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind, or forgotten – Lilo and Stitch. The last football trip of the year brought me to Melbourne. ABD Stadium, Melbourne City host Perth Glory. The train is simple to get there, the sun is setting gradually and the anticipation of an unlikely upset is…
A Chat With Alexandra Huynh
There’s many questions that pop up with a new W-League season. Will the Wanderers or Adelaide finally crack the top four? Who’s gonna win the golden boot award now Sam Kerr has left? What formation is Heather Garriock actually using? One that’s topped the list this season has been, who’s that non-American Wanderers centre back…
Heartbreakers
Round five of the W-League needs to be nicknamed as the heartbreaker if ever looked back on in history. Late winners and equalisers are together some of the greatest and most disappointing moments players, coaches and fans alike can experience. Some weekends it’s merely impossible to watch all the matches you want to live. This…
Prediction Thursday – Round 5
I have a house inspection tomorrow, well today. So I’ve spent my evening cleaning. I smell like bleach. But lucky for you, I’ve cracked open a block of chocolate and we’re here to talk about the W-League, not how difficult it is to clean my stove. Hope you’re thirst, because you’ll need a drink after…
The Brave – Launceston City
Growing up I heard many renditions of the “Braveheart” pre-battle speech. It was inevitable really, my dad is not only English, but a high school history teacher. There was no avoiding it. The final phrase “they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom!” is one I know well, with my younger brother…
Chaos in the Box and Community
Sitting in between Melbourne Victory supporters was always going to be an experience. The early opening goal brought gleeful celebrations, while the Wanderers inevitable reply provided groans. In the final heart stopping moments anxiety grew as the Wanderers caused chaos in the box and promised we were paying attention right through to the end. THEN….
Prediction Thursday – Round Four
There’s some seriously mouth watering match ups this round. Often a look at the fixtures that lie ahead can bring up feelings of games that are a mismatch. However, this round is a treat. No-one can be said to be going in as out right favourites. The season is still young, yet teams are finding…
PROTECT HAYLEY RASO
Hayley Raso. There’s been a cry amongst Matildas fans ever since Raso injured her back in the US. It’s “PROTECT HAYLEY RASO AT ALL COST”. This mantra should be across the board for all players. However the reality that this incident involved Raso makes the issue surrounding player welfare all the more stark given what…
