Dub Results
It’s an idea crazy enough to work.
When you play the game where fans want it to be played, fans can attend.

Round 9 (midweek round)
Newcastle 3-3 Adelaide
Brisbane 2-0 Victory
Wanderers 0-3 Wellington
Alyssa’s zoomies win! Here’s the goal diagram courtesy of @_Munk_FC
Fantastic goal, although the xKN of 1.5m vs actual Knee Slide of 2cm indicates an area for improvement! https://t.co/H1KqMTAyBt pic.twitter.com/TtGOigjnIj— Little Corner of Yellow – Te Kāhu o ngā hau e whā (@cornerofyellow) January 11, 2025
Round 11
Perth 1-1 Sydney
Newcastle 0-2 Victory
Canberra 2-1 Western United
City 2-0 Brisbane
Wanderers 1-3 Mariners
Adelaide 2-1 Wellington
Spicy Takes
Essentially, The Mariners are a tough opponent for even in-form sides. They’re a litmus test, they’re not the best, but you need to be able to beat them to be considered the best.
Wanderers did everything they could to sabotage themselves. Just a whole 90 of unforced errors and senseless gambles.

For $1, Name A Woman
choosing Wollongong Wolves as your partner for your high-performance women’s program, and overlooking the two women’s state league football programs in the region?

The Kiwi Maldini
Mackenzie Barry’s consistency and resilience are incredible. This is the 65th game in WPX women’s history; she’s played 61 of them and 60 of those are starts. In 56 of her 61 games, she’s played 90 minutes. Absolute cornerstone of this team. https://t.co/jXoVgZS6Yd

30 – Taylor Otto (Melbourne City) made 30/30 passes vs BRI tonight, the 2nd most of any outfield player in an #ALW match with a 100% success rate since Opta began collecting the data in 2016/17 (Mackenzie Barry – 43/43 for WEL – 8 Mar 2024). Precise.
