What an absolute lying flog. A 30% increase from fuck all to a little bit is nothing.

Yes they brought in four foreigners including three* internationals (Janae DeFazio plays for the Philippines but was born in the US, Wang Ying and Yuan Cong both play for China and Kim So-eun is South Korean but uncapped; they also have Siena Arrarte who plays for Portugal’s youth teams but was born in Australia and Ena Harada from Japan but obviously won’t ever play for Japan) but every club has foreign players. Chloe Berryhill was at the end of her career (she retired), hardly played as she tore her ACL and really didn’t look impressive (she wasn’t impressive at Como 1907 either where she went for six months then got no game time so moved back). She’s also not really a “Matilda” but a “former Matilda”.

A 30% increase, signing a retired Matilda who was a Sydney legend and beating the statistically worst ever Sydney team in a derby for the first time in eight years is not good enough for a club of Wanderers’ size. Anyway, Talia Younis and any decent Wanderers player will leave, and the same mess will continue. Any time one of their players is good they’re gone straight away.

Agree that even if they say they've increased investment in the women's team by 30% but are still winning the spoon then clearly there are problems with the organisation and the recruitment at Western Sydney Wanderers because the playing list was being bolstered by international imports and Chloe Berryhill who are all injury-prone and half of their new signings were injured by opening day which is not due to poor investment, rather poor choices on the part of the higher-ups.

As a Victorian, it's something I'll never understand. I would never be interested in watching any event involving QLD and NSW, let alone a sport I don't know anything about and have zero interest in.

Is that still happening? Personally, I hope it does and they end this farce of starting the season on Labor Day weekend.
