Re: Croydon

Would a third division have been better than a second division reserves? Adding the reserves was supposed to make the jump to WNPL easier for the club that gets promoted, rather than having to come up with a new team when they get promoted. Good in theory but it will probably be a glorified U17s le...

There should've been seeding in this first round so reserves sides didn't meet WNPL teams until Round 2.
Agreed.

Re: AUFC - W season 2021-2022

Do we have the squad that can go all the way, possibly yes but for me it will be heavily dependent on the team Adrian selects on the given day. If today's starting 11 vs Sydney was a sample of Adrian's team selection heading into playoffs then I'm no longer confident in our finals hopes but sincere...

Re: Season 2022

Agreed Marinos, there isn't the depth of talent. The top 2 or 3 of State League will be heads and shoulders above the rest (as they were this year) and the bottom 2 will be a long, long way off, and this pattern will likely continue for a few more years. But we have to start somewhere. I only hope t...

Re: Coaching Moves 2021/2022

Really disappointing by City.

Dunning probably overachieved by finishing 3rd considering the overall squad AC had, especially starting the year without Hodgson or McNamara.

Re: Get Rid of Double Headers with men

Unless the women's WNPL game is shown the same respect as the men's NPL game, these double headers will continue to fail. I've heard from a number of people that the NPL clubs aren't happy about the arrangements but are going with it as it's a directive from FSA. I've been along to a few now where t...

Re: Canberra Utd VS Adelaide Utd

Have to agree that it looks like a very unbalanced squad overall. Lots of players that we have seen as wingers, (both forward and back) in their WNPL teams, but not much depth through the spine of the team. There is another name listed on the AU website, 'Maruscka Waldus' listed as a defender. Dutch...

It only makes sense if the W-league is a longer season where teams play each other 3 times preferably, or a minimum of twice. The winter 'off season' is then exactly that, a break for the core of the team and senior players to properly recover and then prepare with a proper pre season. The way the m...

The NTC have been given the all clear to remain the WNPL in 2020. Unfortunately, Salisbury United will not be promoted as they are unable to meet the criteria.

Thought Amber Brooks was excellent last night. Consistently won the ball in the air and in tackles. The imports this year are great quality.
Laura Johns has locked down her place at LB as well, great to see her doing so well.
