I know I said I would not comment further but:- Junior supporter-Please accept my apologies. I meant it to read “ouch” to the comments BTK wrote not you. I agree with most of your comments especially that BTK was vague with some of her comments. I have decided due to the ongoing negative comments abo ...

BTK
Ouch!
Junior supporter- I could not have worded it better. Would love to hear a response.
I’m sorry BTK I expressed my opinion but I like to look for the positives. I’m finished with making a contribution on this matter. I wish the team all the best no matter who is selected.

BTK I do enjoy reading a lot of your posts but you seem very negative on this topic and highly critical of the signed players. Who do you consider to be the best local players? Emily Condon represented the Matildas this year yet she is not considered by you to be one of our best players? What the?

Just read that Kahlia Hogg signed. She seems to bring a lot of experience to the team which is a positive.

Billy the Kid- Does this signing make you less worried about the season?

SAD GAL I agree with you re the lucky comment I made. It was an “off the cuff” statement so apologies for the way it was perceived. The team did finish bottom last year so I can understand to a degree why you say you were looking forward to many new names from the WNPL. I do not agree with your sug ...

BTK I get what your saying re who has missed out. To be fair, Ivan did not put a number on how many changes there should be. From the players who appear to be “trialling”, it could be assumed at least 3 players will not be returning i.e. Jones, Tucker and Peat. Maybe a couple of the re-signings so fa ...

I second that Brenton T. Congratulations to the girls on getting signed as I expected they would.
I would be interested in your opinion Brenton T and others on some “new” players from the WNPL that you think should also be signed this season.

I am predicting another close battle between the two teams. Very hard to pick a winner. I think City will win but if it goes to penalties, I am expecting that Metro will prevail.

juniorsupporter has hit the nail on the head! If Cumberland had taken a similar approach to Fulham I am sure they would not have been in the position that they are faced with now. I can only assume that finances prevented them going down the same path as Fulham. Having said this, I think a better ...

I wish the club and all involved all the best. I assume WNPL & Reserves entry still requires FFSA approval?

Brenton T I agree with you in regards to Michelle Heyman. Excellent signing for the club. If they can sign another 2-3 players (including overseas players) of her calibre, finals maybe possible. I am not sure I agree with you in regards to “may put faith in older players…so there will be many in the ...

Prediction for tonight's match:-

I can not see Metro going 2 matches in a row without scoring.

Metro 3 West 1

NTC v West Past encounters between the 2 teams this year would indicate that West should start hot favourites for this match. Recent form though for West has not been brilliant and with at least 2 quality players from their team unavailable tonight, this makes for a close match. I said a couple of ...

Brenton T Whilst I agree with some of your comments, I would like to correct you on your statement “SA is off the radar for National selectors”. Whilst the numbers of SA player have not been high in representation in the Australian teams in recent years, the following girls (I do not think I have mis ...

Congratulations to Adelaide City but credit to West for fighting right to the end. I was interested to read that in the Cup final programme on Friday night it stated that since 2014 when West Adelaide last made the cup final that “Coach Kevin McCormick has been able to bring up players through their ...

Agree with SAD GAL and Billy The Kid. On a positive note though, FFSA should be congratulated on their recent 3 year partnership with Channel 9 that hopefully will increase the exposure to both the women and men’s competitions. Maybe the FFSA could have a similar partnership with a radio station to p ...

Adelaide Uni 1-1 NTC
West 3-0 Fulham
Salisbury Inter 2-0 Cumberland
Metro 1-3 Adelaide City

Agree with you SAD GAL. NTC have exceeded expectations of most. They have not locked in 4th position yet but irrespective of what happens in the last 2 rounds they have had a great season. If they do make the final 4, they may even cause a surprise in the finals but Uni may still over take them for ...

Adelaide Uni 4 Fulham 0
NTC 2 Cumberland 1
Metro 2 West Adelaide 2
Adelaide City 6 Salisbury Inter 0

Adelaide City 8 Cumberland 0
NTC 2 West 2
Salisbury 2 Fulham 2
Metro 4 Uni 1

Would not be surprised if there were a couple of upsets this round excluding the City versus Cumberland match

Fulham 2 Cumberland 1
Adelaide City 3 NTC 1
West 3 Uni 1
Metro 6 Inter 0

Adelaide City 6 Fulham 0
Metro 3 NTC 0
Adelaide Uni 3 Cumberland 0
Inter 2 West 2

Agree with BTK. Fingers crossed for no injuries!

Very interesting developments at Cumberland. Not being involved with that club, I can only go on what people have stated over the last couple of days so I can not confirm what has actually transpired. If the captain has resigned though with just 6 matches remaining with her team so close to being ...

Adelaidecitybandit. Love your name and love your humour-Metro to draw with Fulham??
I am tipping some very one sided matches this round with the following results:-
Metro 7 Fulham 0
West 5 Cumberland 0
City 5 Uni 1
NTC 2 Salisbury Inter 1

I agree with your tips BTK except Campbelltown to beat Fulham. Campbelltown have won only 3 times this season and currently sit 5th. They are a very young team and whilst they have a lot of potential will find it very hard to compete with Fulham in my opinion. There is a big difference between the ...

I agree with the winners that SAD GAL has predicted but with slightly different score lines for some matches:-

West (1) v City (2)
NTC (2) v Fulham (1)
Cumberland (0) v Metro (4)
Salisbury (1) Uni (3)

SAD GAL. Agree with some of your comments except your comment “moral of the story is that good clubs do not lose good players”. You mentioned earlier today that Ladas just left West. I would have thought that she would be rated as good considering 2 seasons ago she was in the Adelaide United women sq ...

I have not heard those rumours but in my opinion the current cut off date for transfers is far too late. Personally I think a more appropriate time (to be fairer for clubs but still give players some flexibility to move) would be if the FFSA changed it to say by the end of round 5. This would avoid ...

West 5 Fulham 0
Cumberland 1 Salisbury Inter 1
Uni 2 NTC 2
Metro 2 City 2
Fence sitting……

SAD GAL Whilst I did not agree with your comments and predictions in regards to the Cumberland v City match and the West v NTC matches, I wish to compliment you on thinking outside the square. It makes for good reading/discussion and you would have looked like a genius had these upsets eventuated ...
