Re: Not long before AUFC-W season ends

Then what happens? A- Clear the decks. Put the local girls out to pasture for a long rest in WNPL. And please. No more gold passes to NTC players. It's wrong and they're years away from playing at WNPL let alone W league. Billy the kid, I agree with your comments, but not all the locals. Firstly, t...

AUWFC Vs WSW

I will be the first to comment and say that lady reds were extremely good, confident and aggressive. Finally, Ivan has finally shown faith in placing Condon back on the wing where she should be and Grant at right back. That's a start, but a bit too late in the season now. Great to see changes made i...

Re: Head Coach Needs to Resign

Michael, Are you kidding me, another Ivan bashing topic. Ivan is in the spotlight and he is aware that this comes with the territory. Unfortunately, Ivan's team is sitting at the bottom of the ladder and looking like remaining there at the end of the season. I am not going to sit here and blame the...

Head Coach Needs to Resign

Last night I walked away from Marden Sports Centre unable to fathom or comprehend the enormity of what just had occurred. The lady Reds were extremely disappointing and looked extremely flat. They were unable to string passes together and had no-one up forward to finish off. Again, if it were not fo...

AUFWC vs Sydney FC

Again a very dispiriting game and yet again another disappointing selection by the coaches. I find it incredibly ludicrous the coaching staff decided to play Dawber as the main striker. Dawber is an attacking midfielder. The question has to be asked why the coaching staff not select another striker ...

AUWFC Vs Camberra

I'm glad I stayed home today and watched this game. I was very disappointing to lose again by one goal. I cannot fathom the tactics used by Adelaide united. 1. Laura Johns who has been a consistent player not even selected on the bench. 2. Again Campagnale in the midfield 3. Dawber on the wing, she ...

Sportsbird, which local WNPL players, currently not in the squad, do you feel have the skills and ability, and more importantly the desire, to play at W-league level? I’m curious. Reading between the lines, it appears by your comments there is no current WNPL players good enough or near enough to p...

Re: AUWFC season 2019-2020

Adelaide City Appointed New Head Coach for 2020

I believe Adelaide City will soon be announcing Geoff Hargreaves as the new head coach of the women's senior team for 2020.
Geoff was a former FFSA Women's NTC coach and currently the assistant coach for the Adelaide City Men's senior team.
