Bumper squad but Isabel Gomez becomes the first person to have played for Wellington Phoenix to earn a Matildas call-up. https://t.co/eST0b7r6of

Macey Fraser appears to have signed a loan deal with Better Football Sunday League Div 2 side Cobham Drive in their 8-1 loss in the cup to Valley United (running away with Div 1).

Just reffed the game, not what I was expecting to show up to!

IMHO, it's also pretty reckless for a recently injured female pro to mix it up with men in a Sunday league comp. Oh well, it's her career

Has she been injured? I'm uncertain she'll be heading back to the US, if the rumors I heard have any credibility, which I don't know if they do given they've come from a public crawl.

'Recently-ish' – she picked up a calf injury vs Canada at the Olympics. She's obviously recovered now, but why tempt fate against some amateur blokes.

Niche Cache last week.

And Macey Fraser may have gone missing for the back-half of last season but her contract runs through until 2026 with Utah Royals and she’s on their retained list, no shenanigans afoot there.

IMHO, I thought Speckmaier was dreadful after her early goal.

As was Kelli Brown, and even her late penalty was fortunate not to be saved.

I thought Brown was pretty good for Perth. Getting on the ball. Linking up. Good positive runs. Numerous shots on target denied only my excellent goal keeping. Looking much more likely to score than Ferguson for us. Brown now with 3 goals and 1 assist leading all kiwis in goal contributions ALW.

Kelli Brown is out injured for awhile.

A couple of injury concerns for the Glory, with top scorer Kelli Brown set to miss an extended period with a knee issue, and Ella Abdul-Massih expected to be ruled out of Friday's clash with the Mariners. Isobel Dalton expected back though. https://t.co/pc34vg6TgD

Izzy Cox hangs up the boots

Thank you and good luck to @izzyy_cox who has decided to retire from professional football.

This fall, Cox played in all 14 matches, starting in 7. She tied for the 2nd-highest goal tally at the club, scoring 3 goals, including 2 match-winners.

Thank you, Coxy!⚫⚪ pic.twitter.com/bTkY6fQo4L

Claudia Bunge with the headed goal for VUC, and another almost identical disallowed one.

But that was a truly awful air swing from her to allow Gomez in to score.

As someone else posted the Mariners win gives hope the Nix ALW side can do it one day as well.

Victory's tactics at corners seem to be to interfere with the keeper and hope the useless refs let them get away with it. Bunge is the beneficiary of that. Glad they didn't win.

Goodness knows what the keeper situation is at Sydney. They had 4 keepers on the go last season. Both Franco and Mason-Jones are leaving. Whether Edwards was dropped or injured is not clear.

I hope Edwards picks something up but I think,for all her shot stopping ability , she has some weaknesses she is struggling to overcome.

She's been rather fortunate to be included in recent football ferns squads, and I can't see her getting that high in the pecking order again with the youth coming through.
