2019/20 W-League Thread

[giggler99]

I've decided that it would be good to have a seasonal W-league thread instead of all the W-League posting clogging up the Matilda's thread, The thread will be updated weekly with the round fixtures. I'll sticky it till the end of the season.

Interested in seeing how Catley goes in midfield. She's a left back through and through, so being played out of position.

Going to reopen the Matildas thread for the Olympics qualifiers, giggler99 ?

Victory really poor going forward today. Hopkins will not be happy with how they have played.

 

[CURVE]

Hoping Canberra has a better season than last. We’ve been on a bit of a rebuild after being one of the premier teams for the first 7/8 seasons.

McCormick finding Sydney to be a lot harder than playing Chile. Has not played well this afternoon.

As I type that, Sydney make it 3-0 in injury time. Comprehensive victory.

Victory has their chances but Sydney have Aubrey Bledsoe in goal and she made some great saves in the first half. Victory hardly challenged in the second half.

Dowie, their captain, clearly unhappy in the post match interview.

Good they had the Sydney cheer squad on commentary though

Glory will struggle this year.

Heyman played for Canberra and Adelaide. Sydney played better and made more of their chances. Can't begrudge them their victory. Victory need to improve quick smart.

Just watched the highlights of the goals o The World Game website - she looked like what I imagine someone wearing the #10 and playing in defence for the first would.

Pedestrian kind of game the Syd vs Melb Victory one.

Bloody awful commentary - hate that style where they don't even bother naming the players on the ball and just chat away about other things - and when they do they just as often call the wrong name out - hope I don't have to put up with Steph every Sunday for the free to air game.

Foord showed a bit of magic at times taking the defenders on and the Evans goal and celebration at the end probably the only highlights.

Think Sydney, Brisbane will finish up the top and Glory down the bottom.

Kudos to the Jets. Scored their first ever point against Melbourne City apparently, and went close a few times to claiming all three points yesterday. Didn't watch the game, though, because despite the W League saying it was available via the my football live app, it wasn't, and I wasn't about to give Kayo my credit card details to see if it was available there.

They had all the W-League games on Kayo. Imo getting kayo is one of the best things to have, with a better quality and wider variety then that on fox sports or Foxtel go (and overall cheaper)

May well be Logarzo's last season in the W League. She is looking to move to Italy next year and is in the process of applying for an Italian passport to avoid having to be a foreign player.

Melbourne City sign Aivi Luik and Rebekah Stott.

 

[stax on the mull]

Not bad pick ups. Probably puts them back in top 2 contention. I read that Luik got two yellow cards and was sent off in her weekend match for her club in Norway.

I wonder if she goes to the same club as DeVanna. They supposedly roomed together on Matildas trips.

Also been some mix up in the off-season US NWSL trade period where Logarzo was picked up by a new club but then the League said she shouldn't have been.

Orlando Pride will not retain rights to Chloe Logarzo due to NWSL discrepancy | Pro Soccer USA

The Australian midfielder should not have been allowed to enter the waiver wire due to her loan status from Sydney FC.

Napoli will be her preferred choice because her parents came from a town nearby. It is contingent on Napoli getting a team, though.

Reckon Raso may have broken her hand. Amanda Beard accidentally stepped on it when tussling for the ball.
