Just like an encyclopaedia - full of random knowledge and good at holding doors open. Socials are predominantly my cat, sports and random ramblings of Football Manager, Australian women's soccer, and how good the Victorian High Country is.
Okay so obviously an injury to Jada and Mary, so if we add them to the 24 and assume that's the 26 Joe is going to pick from, who would be your three to remove.
Mine would be Chloe Lincoln, Courtney Nevin and EVE, but I know EVE won't be dropped.
And also, who is your bolter? Mines still Rule

Good to see the A-Leagues posting about the Dub being playable on Football Manager for the first time ever.
The game itself has had.... mixed reactions, especially from the long time playing community, but I am so excited to finally play as Canberra United on a football video game.

Updated #Matildas depth based on the recent October window against Wales and England
- Kennedy drops down a few. Personally gives Rule a late opportunity to make the Asian Cup squad if picked
- still think Grant is the first choice at left back with Catley needing to be central
Thoughts?

Threw together a #Matildas squad depth tracker and I'm keen for any thoughts/changes.
Assumptions:
- 4-3-3 formation
- a player can be included in two positions (e.g. Heatley as CB and CDM)
- everyone is fit
- recently called up or if eligible (e.g. Kayla
Will adjust based on injuries/form

Part of a treat pack from the homeland. Solid flavour, not one of the OG McCoy's flavours, but still good. Still no Salt & Malt Vinegar tho.

Two years ago today was the #Matildas vs Canada game where the Tillies had to win to qualify for the next stage.
This will always be the game I look back on. It was the first game of many Tillies games I've watched where the crowd got the memo; be loud, make Canada uncomfortable.
What a moment.

Kick off times of the #Matildas Asian Cup group games have been announced with 5pm Perth time for the Phillipines, 7pm Gold Coast time for Iran, and 8pm Sydney time for the Korea game. Which are all 8pm AEDT timeslots.
5pm start in Perth in early March (bloody hot) is a bit mad though.

Delighted as a fan and member? Sure.
Delighted that this is still needed and there's nothing about the new owners that Heyman mentioned a while ago? Hell no. I'm pissed.

A two year extension. Good. Do more of this, Dub teams.

The UEFA Women's Euros is down to the knockout stage. While England came second in their group, the positive is that Spain is now on the other side of the draw.
Not so positive - they are up against a very rampant Sweden who seem to finally look the goods after a period of 'close but no dice'.
