Let’s not forget at the Olympics she was only half fit, just returning from injury. But great that there are younger players coming through now to challenge her.

Rounds will be extended from 14 to 22 in total, 20 rounds this season@kick360au
Hopefully someone like Daisy Cleverley who has signed for the top women's team in Denmark becomes a target for Nix ALW, if their seasons don't overlap much. I'm guessing Danish women's league has a 3 month winter break.

The exodus of Matildas to Europe, with many citing the need for more playing time at a high level, has harmed the ALW's quality.
Australia result for their age group team have been underwhelming.
Last night an Australia team (made up of mostly ALW players) lost 1-0 to Allan Stajic coached Philippines. Aus are calling there team U23 but they do have some over 23 players in it and some U20 young matildas. These kind of results highlight how much Australian womens football development is in dire need, and ALW expansion/ more games is a start.
Regarding Nix ALW team (Just speculation). I expect Marisa van der Meer will sign for the Nix as she didn't get much game time last year at Mel City. Am hoping That Annalie Longo can make it work, playing for the Nix since they will be NZ based. And also hoping that Rosie White will look at the Nix as an opportunity to make a late run at getting into the Ferns team for a home world cup. Maybe these are wishful thinking. Maybe we need a Nix ALW squad speculation thread?
It would be a shame as it would be great to see Jale kick on at the Nix. But you don't know maybe she is going to Scandinavia or Scotland?
But I think if you have them on the same night you will simply dilute the number of fans you get for the women. Sitting for a full match, then warm up, then another full match makes for a very long day/outing for many I feel.
Everyone's circumstances are different and there will be some put off for double headers but at the same time others like myself would be put off for different days.

For the Nix can probably only be an Aussie player or it would mean one less NZ player.
Blake on debut and it's 3-1!
