Australia’s longest-running women’s football podcast (est. April 2019).
History: Ashley Brown, Matildas Cap 176
Unfortunately, Ashley retired from playing at a young age after suffering three ACL injuries. She has had a varied post-football career and among many other things, Ashley is a qualified dietician (PSA: dieticians are qualified, any unqualified person can call themselves a nutritionist) – click here for her LinkedIn page.

Would you rather trial-and-error in the matches which have a lot more on the line?? #CANvAUS— Megan Bᴏrg (@102megan) December 2, 2023
Listening to these young players talk post game, I don’t think we have anything to worry about with regard to their mental fortitude. And how they fit in the team.
Maybe we don’t need to be so overbaringly paternalistic? #Matildas #CANvAUS

Crucially this isn’t unique to Gustavsson. Stajcic was coach for 3/5 players mentioned.
It’s more a reality of being an AFC nation. There’s no room in the calendar to bring players through in the most ideal way.

As a descendent of Scots – if you think Scotland will throw the game to give one, maybe two players a chance to represent a “Team GB” that half(-ish) of the team doesn’t even think Scotland should be a part of… get real 😂
