Molly makes a triumphant return, while Dale, Steffen and Cheryl are also on board to talk about the week in football with special guest Catherine Zimmerman.

 

Guest – Catherine Zimmerman

We chat with Melbourne Victory Championship winner ‘Zim’ about her off-season and staying sane, plus the special sauce that made Victory bond so well.

We also check in on season preparations and Zim’s life outside of football, including her own podcast with Angie Beard – “The A to Z podcast“.

History: Tracey Jenkins, Matildas Cap 71

Tracey was born in Wales and played her junior football in South Australia, before becoming a two-time South Australia State League golden boot winner. She made her one and only Matildas appearance in 1991 during a friendly against New Zealand.

Tracey holds a B-Licence and is currently coaching West Adelaide, who finished second in the 2021 SA NPLW.
