I certainly hope that isn't the only NTRP, but I would say that at this stage I'd rather see us sign quality rather than pick up a midfielder for the sake of a midfielder. And hey, maybe she's better than Meaghan Nally!

It was always going to be multiple NTRPs :)

I was just reading that she is/was the captain of the team who just won the A-league in the most recent season. So, should have some leadership qualities that we desperately need back there. I don't watch A-league though, so I have no idea what position she plays, or really anything about her....hopefully CB!

Edited to add: watched a few videos and all of her goals shown appear to be from set pieces/CK's and with her head. So, adding another aerial threat there would be nice. She is indeed a CB.

We only have 3 midfielders though, so they damn well need SOME bodies lol. And, why haven't we brought in Mia Fishel as an NTRP yet? :)

Honestly, she looks fairly good. And she's left footed which could be nice for how we build up, because you can switch play in different ways. Could turn out to be a shrewd signing.

I know nothing of A League, have not watched Aussie club footy since the W League folded.

Oof, the pay...

"The total salary floor, or minimum salary spend, for the 2020-21 season rose to A$294,000, growing to A$315,000 in the 2021-22 season, with a salary cap of A$450,000, as part of a five year deal that will see the salary floor rise to A$390,000 by 2025-26.[29] The deal also included improved standards in training venues, travel and accommodation, high performance staffing, and player workloads. The A-League Women minimum annual wage in 2021 is A$17,055."

That's a bit more than $11k US dollars minimum salary. "And all the Vegemite you can choke down, mate!"

I get that she's like 4th choice, and she plays with the right intensity and when I saw her in open training last year, she trained really professionally. But like...she can't pass the ball. At all.
