W-League Thread [R]

Considering I didn't know they had a dual international on their books maybe the threat to axe her is the attempt to get publicity.

I've got a lot of respect for Perry; she's always got twenty-odd things going on at once. Footballer, cricketer (playing both at the top level), student (apparently doing a double-degree), media personality (was host of Football Stars of Tomorrow, if I remember the name) and so on and so forth.

It does make sense, however, that a national-level football club would demand a commitment of their players. The only problem is they're not a professional club and they don't offer the incentives that would give reason for any player to act for them as a professional. (i.e. full-time wages)

I can understand the problem from both perspectives, but I have to say that Canberra United are not in a position to make such demands. They need to stand down.

Meh ! It's been "live to WA with two hour delay" last few years anyway - this is an improvement.

Are all of last years teams playing, plus WSWFC ?

Adelaide United? Same ol' story. Clearly a change of coach to Dave Edmondson wasn't the solution. There be other problems at hand; one of which is probably their ridiculously out-of-reach FFSA training ground, while a large number of the girls (possibly most) live on the polar opposite side of Adelaide.

It's a pig of a training ground to reach; I had to get there around the same time as many of the girls for my own training over the last few months. It's not easy on the best of days. The fact that they finish late (and therefore many of them get home very late, perhaps around 11PM) doesn't help the situation.
