Really.... Last two weeks have been the worst performances I've seen in a few years from the Lady Reds.

Continuity paying off! Correct me if I'm wrong but these girls have come through STIC, u13's, u15's and now NTC. Results at all national tournaments have been steadily improving over the last few years, actually since FFSA took over the programs. Congrats to the coaches for their involvement, from S...

Any news on this seasons squad?
Quigs, Gummer staying in Vic or coming back?
Bubs coming back?
Any other big names?

Waterhouse, Chidiac?

Guess that means DE will steal her for Melbourne Victory W league next season too then..?

Is it really poaching if the players are not contracted to a club? Basically at the end of any season, surely all players are 'free agents' and can be approached by anyone or any club. Unless anyone has been signed on a two or three year contract surely this is not poaching it is simply recruiting p...

Most important is that Bubs sticks around!!! the single biggest difference this year compared to ALL other seasons is that The Lady reds have had a decent keeper. I'd say she has been worth 3 or 4 goals every game this year and if it wasn't for her this season would have been the same as every other...

Great performance!

No surprise that it coincided with more of our local youngsters finally getting a game - Jess W, Moni and Emily were outstanding!

I must say, three SA players on the pitch is a joke. I cannot understand how some of these interstate players are playing ahead of Moni, izzy Hodgson, Scalzi, Waterhouse etc.. What is this doing to develop SA players and what is it going to do for the squad next year? There is no way these interstat...

AMAZING result!

Best win ever in Lady Reds history, record points haul already, just fantastic.

I am now totally expecting to smash The Lady Tards next week.

So much for our girls fitness not being up to it etc. Smashed the Matildas basically today YEY LOVE IT

Is this weeks game vs Perth the first real test for the Lady Reds? WSW have had terrible injuries all season and missing 6/7 key players. Victory were coached by DE - awful, enough said. Jets, well they look unlikely to get any points all season and have apparently selected their NTC squad as their ...

Does DE get the whole year to work with the Victory team?

Is it that different in Victoria to here in SA? Do the players not play club football in the winter?

Didn't Mulvey also start with 4 losses at the start of last season?

Mmm I've considered for a while wether to post this or not as again it sounds like I am flip flopping my opinion on DE, but this is more of a question really.. From the game at the weekend, I thought Victory played a really nice style of football, considered build up play, controlled possession etc ...

Adelaide United: 1. Melissa Barbieri (GK), 2. Bianca Gray (14. Jayah Brown 46'), 3. Alexandra Gummer, 5. Jessie Wharepouri, 6. Laura Stockdale, 7. Rachael Quigley, 9. Lisa-Marie Woods, 12. Daila-Tais Borg (4. Tegan Riding 87'), 15. Jenna McCormick, 17. Tiarn Powell (16. Jessica Waterhouse 76'), 23. ...

DE picked a team FFSA wanted? Can you explain that? Did he really get forced to pick certain players by FFSA? If so that's terrible! Good if Ross is now able to select who he wants to though! just a shame he couldn't keep the internationals from the last couple of years as I thought Abby and Anna e...

HAHA what a joke! We should be glad he has left SA as it appears he did nothing for our game and has now ruined Victorian women's football too. I hope plenty of people will be at the game next week to abuse and attack him as the pathetic loser he has now been exposed as. He produces Victorys worst e...

just out of interest, why have the lady reds travelled the day before a Sydney game? Surely money could be better spent than staying in a hotel the night before a trip to Sydney? Perth, Brisbane i understand but this seems a bit over the top?

No Macri, Cassie, MJ, yet LOTS of interstate signings..? I would have thought if fit quick players were being looked for Macri would have been an obvious choice? Izzy Scalzi another?

Did SA girls not want to play or just not selected?

Good luck ladies, wherever you are from..

Wow, you maybe don't know much about the womens game then.. Which Matilda or serious player in the womens game carries a bit of extra weight..? NONE! Kristy Moore doesn't carry a little extra weight, Caitlin Foord, Steph Catley, Lisa De Vanna, Elise Kellond knight, Sawa, Marta etc do not carry extra...

Not agreeing or disagreeing but could you not argue the reverse, "all the great foot skills in the world are useless if you cannot keep up with the game due to lack of fitness?" I know fitness and carrying a few extra pounds don't necessarily go hand in hand but I'm being a bit presumptuou...

Obviously u don't watch a lot of womens soccer in SA, we have GK in CLUB, NTC and promising GKs in STATE :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Promising does not mean ready to play W League! Especially as a GK throwing a young keeper into a game against a W League side like Brisbane Roar who have I think 9 CURRE...

Who are these great SA goalkeepers you are talking about?

NO! SASI included a younger group but continued to run the senior group right up until it was disbanded.

SASI in my opinion got very lazy in the last few years of its running and probably needed to go but i do agree the older players, 18+ do need a program as well as the younger NTC players.

Soa year round lady reds squad play in which competition and let's take the best 20 players out of the Premier League, as well as the best 20 younger players for NTC and we are left with what..? FFSA are from my understanding required to administer and run the game of football as a whole. They have ...

Sick of people blaming FFSA or Lady Reds coaches etc for players lack of fitness. The W league is 3 or 4 months long at most, what are the players doing for the other 8 months of the year? should they not have some pride in themselves and get fit in preparation for the league? In the last two years ...

So how did the trials go yesterday, was anyone out there? Any new talent? Can we expect an improved season from the last 5? Some young talent has been introduced over the last couple of seasons (Checker, Waterhouse, Scalzi, Hodgson, Ianella etc) but I think they still need some older heads around th...

I think Ross' appointment is a good one. He is a young ambitious coach without pre-judgement, has played for the Socceroos and comes from a family of (new and old) coaches with progressive thinking. BUT This decision says one thing very clearly (as did Barnett's): that FFSA will overlook any coach ...

The cup final had to be one of the most boring games Adelaide city never looked like they were going 2 score- Metro all players looked unfit and just kicked the ball long not linking 2 passes together a huge dis appointment :cry: :cry: At last an honest and true opinion of the final. I've been amaz...

Haha Vic bottom of table. Shows how useless DE is and how lucky we are to have got rid of him!

It's not like he did anything for the womens game in our state, so glad he is now ruining VIC's chances instead!

congratulations to Jono Ruse for the work he has done with the team, he was badly criticised at times last year for his work with the U15's in the Premier League and for the role he played with the Lady Reds, clearly not all bad after all.. Also credit to Sharon Black for the work she has done with ...
