Wheels have completely fallen off for Brisbane. City look like scoring every time they get the ball.

Although as I write this Brisbane pull one back.

Hawkesby started with us. Not only do they not comeback but they also leave us at the first opportunity

Maybe we need more pitches

Does that make it better or worse? I'm not sure anyhow another one to add to the list 

$10 says the kiddies we played this year will be with another A League club for their peak

Sounds like she struggled for a while after leaving us and only playing NPL reserve grade for a while. Maybe she just didn't look the goods at the time.

The Womens Team was enforced by the FFA and not given a proper structure to succeed.

Care to expand? Isn't that up to the club?

Yes the club failed to invest in the Women's team. Add to that, Stajcic told any of the women who wanted to be a Matilda not to sign with the Wanderers

So not the FFA then....yeah I remember Staj being a right pr1ck about us...particularly with his influence at Hills SHS

[Paul01]

FFA licence required a women's team. Did not apply to previous expansion clubs.

Nah....he was at Hills since their inception

Then Ellie Carpenter at Wanderers makes sense.

Have watched a few minutes of the Newcastle v Adelaide game. I reckon it might go pear shaped with the referee. Not a referee i have seen before.

[Paul01]

Another referee gives the Smurfettes a free pass. Shay Hollman tugs the jersey of a Canberra player and pulls her down no penalty awarded!
