I have a lot of thoughts on youth football. But my biggest one is on ways to keep girls in the game for the long run. https://t.co/KGIzg7bCqs

Incredible.

If you start watching the replay of our ALW match against Sydney at 36 seconds past 10.24pm , we'll go 7-0 up on the stroke of midnight (assuming you skip halftime). Ring the New Year in the right way.

Has anyone told the Mariners it’s not first goal wins?

Germany beating France was such a vibe. Take out the grand final with England getting a trophy — and that’s the best thing I watched this year 100%

Noice.

Did they only watch the Euros final??? Great game, but there’s other players from other places well deserving of making the cut.

Captain of club takes year off as is allowed for under new policy. Has baby. Sacked 120-odd days later. As if the idea of returning to work isn’t difficult enough for mums of young babies. Where’s the chance to try to show they’re up to the level again? I can’t even 🤯

Wonderful news as the Palestine women’s national football team are through to the West Asia Championship final after winning on penalties against Saudi Arabia. Massive!

I’ll happily cross the line for a Foord Sydney jersey. But also, what an idea. Would send me broke but I’m in.

WSL players this season:

For the third straight year, fans are being locked out of the AFLW Grand Final because the venue is too small. Do better, AFL. This isn’t growth — it’s stagnation.

I’m a bit late but LOOK I still got it, I snagged a lucrative front page byline with my mate Bridget 🙌🥳🥰

Now I’m going to cry 😭

Weeks like this in Tassie - grey and drizzly in the middle of NOVEMBER - makes me doubt my ability to ever live in the UK. Might just keep it limited to visits in their summer 😎

That “clean air” the AFL kept going on about for AFLW going well

Sliding doors moment in history is when Stotty chose Ferns over Matildas. I doubt she has any regrets, & def made the right choice, but back then & for a time after, the feeling was, she wouldn’t get into the Aus team. But for a while now, we could’ve really used a CB like this

A bit of a 🧵 here, but this discussion isn’t really about her. I think generally, kids should play seniors when they can’t develop any more from youth ftbl. That looks to be the case with Willa, but it definitely hasn’t been the case with other children in the Dub or overseas

Has no one seen Temwa Chawinga play? Not only NWSL golden boot winner, but so dynamic and just ridiculously good the past few years. Love Chloe Kelly but she didn’t play half the season and made her best impact from the bench at the Euros.

Rumour has it that two Matildas are still standing at Stadium Aus baffled by TG’s hand gestures.

Any way. I’m gonna go and watch Bente’s drifting in from the flank magic that tore Victory’s defence apart on repeat. And PS, @brisbaneroar if Jansen is available to interview can I please be at the top of the queue.
