Congrats to her. Deserves a crack at the ALW.
Credit also to Charlotte Lancaster. Team of the year sub. Awesome effort by her. Surely someone will pick her up for the A league season. CCM or Newcastle Jets ???

Wouldn't be surprised if we see her back in the A League. Most likely for one of the Melbourne teams.

So we could not score against Phillipines and Switzerland with 12 on the field!
(unfortunate automated cropping on bottom left photo by Twitter/X too !)
Chance recently left her club, Scotland’s Celtic, and moved to Melbourne with her partner.

I noticed that the "From the Archive" feature at the bottom of the page is a video of Arsenal v Chelsea from the first FA WSL season in 2010-11:

Starting is former Football Fern midfielder Hayley Moorwood (later Hayley Bowden after marrying) who made 13 appearances for Chelsea that season.
Went on to play for Lincoln Ladies (then a top side) and broke the Ferns appearance record the next year, finishing with 93 caps 2003-2015.
Probably a mostly forgotten player today.

👋 We are thrilled to confirm the signing of @NZ_Football international striker, Jacqui Hand!!
— Lewes FC Women (@LewesFCWomen) December 20, 2023
Jacqui has joined on a pre-contract agreement from January, subject to international clearance!
Welcome to Lewes, Jacqui! ♥️
Where as Milly Clegg can't even make a match day squad for WSW, Combination of unavailability at season start, change of coach, untimely injury, then WSW other striker hitting form. Just not really working out for her there this season so far.
Ria Percival has joined FA Women’s Championship side Crystal Palace on loan for the remainder of the 2023/24 campaign.

Go well, Ria 🤍

Quite a few fringe NWSL players (particularly goalkeepers) that don't get many playing minutes end up on loan spells to ALW clubs. That might be a serious option for Milly next ALW season. So hope the Nix are keeping the communication channels open with her.

Came off the bench at HT in a 1-2 loss to Nürnberg (10th).
MSV Duisburg are 12th or last in the Frauen Bundesliga.
Age 27 now, hopefully Radosavljević can stage a career comeback. Scored a goal for Bremen in the Bundesliga back in 2020, which is also the last year she played for the Ferns. Though on the bench for that very understrength Ferns side that hosted the USA 12 months ago, in 2 games.
Missed this when it happened but Jana Radosavljević is back in the Bundesliga with MSV Duisburg - she made her debut off the bench this morning

Quite an adventurous place from memory. On an isolated island off the Finnish mainland only accessible by ferry or something, where they speak Swedish.
Anyway hopefully in a pro environment Rennie can improve. US College to
Åland worked for Hand who quickly became a favourite there.

But they went their seperate ways after both being at Canberra (Jale to Perth Burows to Newcastle).
According to this article from July 2022 Burrows is Jale's partner:

I always wondered about Jale's heritage. I thought Jale was probably a Pasifika name. Seems she is of mixed Fijian and Pakeha parentage:

Louisville would be the worst possible overseas club for a young Football Ferns player from that point of view.
Erceg was on TV One 6pm news a month ago having a good old moan about how terrible women's football is in NZ and how irredeemably terrible the Football Ferns are.
To me that kind of extreme negativity and continuing to run down the team and the players from outside mostly just has a detrimental effect on the women's game and the public's perception and interest.
