Alyssa Whinham returns to the Nix on a two-year deal! ✍️
“I’ve been here from the start and I’ve been through a lot, and I’ve developed a lot as a player and a person.
“And I have a lot more to give with the Phoenix.”

Bit of a worry that she was considering hanging the boots up last season, glad she didn't.

I think she talked about that a bit in an interview last year too.

Fresh from her hat-trick on debut for Sydney Olympic, Alyssa Whinham promptly scored another three in her second game

Sort of… the first got reclassified as an own goal but close enough
Olympic were ten games winless when Whinham turned up, now they’ve won two in a row pic.twitter.com/VVfdeDaoxi

Maybe she's worked a little on her power, and perhaps is getting to play a little more advanced as well. Good to see regardless.
Or maybe the level of the NPL is flattering to an A league player?
From what I saw most of those shots would be comfortable for any decent keeper

It might be in the too hard basket, but what the Nix should be doing if they really want to quickly progress the level of young promising female players - get them playing for 3-4 months in Japan during the ALW off season.
Presumably the top 2 female leagues in Nippon, run calendar year (ie mostly summer) like J1 & J2 mens. You only have to watch Japanese U20 & U17 female teams at World Cups, to surmise the level plus technical skills there are very high.
The NSW Womens NPL will yes be better than Central League, but have doubts it will be improving Whinham's game much.
7 goals in 8 games now (7 starts).
