"Could the AFC Women's Asian Cup bring Matildas stars back to the A-Leagues?" Probably professionalise the game first, then we can talk. #ALW

A tad excessive 😬

What a hugely frustrating game. We really need some of our injured players back. #WELvMVC

So the call weirdly went against Pollicina and then next it's no foul on Kennedy in the box. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Game is making me mad 😅

The grass looks so thick #WELvMVC

We are just so slow playing out from the back. 😩 #WELvMVC

Sigh

Huge save from Newbon. I thought that was going in!

😬

Lavelle scored a banger just as I switched the NWSL to the small screen. It's now Vuck time.

Teagan Micah currently playing another game for OL. Good stuff

It's going to be a long season...

Melbourne Victory Men are not bringing much joy at the moment 😔

100 off 69 for Head. nice

Have been triple screening Dub and Ashes this afternoon. I appreciate the WBBL not overlapping today despite also having 2 fixtures

Wanted Ayres to score that so badly #NEWvWSW

I thought the corner was wasted, but nope. #NEWvWSW

Where do we think Amy Sayer and Remy Siemsen go next after departing Kristianstads?

She's not going to always score them but I like that Ellie Carpenter is backing herself to at least make the attempts more often these days. In 10 UWCL matches last season she took a total of 3 shots. She had 3 shots against Barca yesterday to bring her total to 4 in 3 games played this season 😅

Week done ✅

Boooo for Charli Grant Yayyy for Charlie Rule #Matildas

I like that Sonia didn't make subs for the sake of it in this game. There was no need to upset the balance of the team in how they were performing. I feel that's something she maybe has done in other games and it has come back to bite us. Aggie off for Cat made sense.

Hugely improved performance over last year. Could have got the win, but came very close. The only time we really switched off was the goal we conceded.

This happening as we play our best football of the season is so annoying 😭

Apparently the power outage with tech is at Stamford Bridge. Game is paused 😅

ELLIE CARPENTER RAN HALF THE FIELD TO SCORE A SCREAMER 🤯🚀

Ellie Carpenter banger!!!!

Meg Lanning 100 So bloody good 🤩

Having a look at all these names called up for the Nov/Dec international window, and I feel like the Dub is going to suck that weekend because of all the call-ups across the Football Ferns, 3 Australian squads, and other nations. Maybe playing through an international window is a very bad idea #ALW

"Matildas star Mary Fowler has revealed the inner torment she endured during her time at French club Montpellier, saying she and another black teammate were given bananas instead of flowers during a farewell presentation from the club, an incident she says was not 'a simple error."

Paramount Plus Australia have 50% off deals on both 3 month & annual subs until 2/12 Standard is $6.49/month on a monthly plan or $57.99 on an annual plan. Premium is $8.99/month on a monthly plan, or $79.99 on an annual plan. www.paramountplus.com/au/account/s... #ALeague #Socceroos #Matildas

Oh, the north London derby was a 0-0 draw? That makes me feel slightly better about our game. 😅

Strong start for Melbourne City. 2 goals already #AWCL

Stop the count

Cheeky 😅 I do enjoy the banter. Even though it pisses me off when it comes back to bite my own teams. Cough, Melbourne Victory.

Pollicina is such a great pick up. Superb finish.

Wasn't pretty, but important to get the win. More controlled in the 2nd half. #MVCvCCM

How was that offside? 😅

Finally!! Let's go Pollicina!!

I did hope Alana Jančevski would get to play further forward this season 🕊️

A bit sloppy so far #MVCvCCM

IT'S OUR FIRST HOME GAME STARTING LINE UP!!!! LET'S GOOOOOO!!!

The WBBL going off the field for a lightning delay moments ago meant it was only a matter of time for the same thing to happen in the ALW.

Something bizarre about 14-16 year-olds being considered old enough to play in professional sports teams but not old enough to watch the competitions they might be playing in. The Asian Women's Champions League is on YouTube in Aus 🤷🏼‍♀️

One of the things that bothers me about transphobia as a word - see also islamophobia etc. - is that, no, no it's not a *phobia* it's not arachnophobia or pyrophobia or things that actually relate to someone being scared, it's hatred and bigotry that is often finessed into a grift.

A bounty? Very slave catcher of them. This league is gonna have to take a stand at some point. There's no "both sides" to this. At some point, racism and transphobia have to be a deal breaker.

BREAKING: Vlatko Andonovski is shifting solely to KC Current's sporting director, opening a head-coaching vacancy at the record-setting #NWSL Shield winners. The change has been in the works since summer. Ryan Dell has also replaced Caitlin Carducci as GM. More on @espn.com:

Canberra, that was bloody quick 😅 #ADLvCBR #ALW
