We recently wrote to the WA Deputy Premier outlining our concerns regarding the proposed @seriea.bsky.social fixture in Perth.

We all appreciate the support for football, but at a time where junior rego fees are rising rapidly, we feel the reported $21m can be better spent within the local game.

What if we told you investing in a full-time A-League Women competition would pay for itself 𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲? 🤔

We explain how this is possible and why it’s an opportunity the game simply can’t pass up.

Thrilled to have written my first column for Football360. In it, I guarantee #BrisbaneRoar will make the finals the season.

There aren't enough media outlets publishing content on Australian football, so I'm delighted there's at least one more.

So Brisbane Roar announce the women's team is moving home games again. This time from Perry Park (Brisbane Strikers) to Spencer Park (Brisbane City).
Claim they couldn't reach an agreement on the hire of Perry Park and the facilities are apparently not good enough #aleague #alw #dub

We are pleased to see the ACT gov ensuring this great team can continue to survive, but the funding disparity remains.

ACT Gov pays $2.85 mil a season to Greater Western Sydney in the AFL to be "Canberra's team", but has to play a game each year to ensure the survival of an actual Canberran team.
Capital Football has announced following an injection of funds from the ACT government, Canberra United will play in the 2025/26 A-League Women season.
