History: Wini Heatley, Matildas Cap 230

Matildas Debut: 2024
Grassroots Club: Marlin Coast Rangers
Appearances: 6
Position: Defender / Midfielder

 

Douglas Shire News article written after Wini’s Matildas debut

“Everything happens for a reason” (article on Wini written by Taryn Heddo for the Matildas website)

Let’s look at #Matildas defensive options.

Carpenter and Catley- in strong enough form and playing regularly.

Kennedy- not playing
Hunt- not in form
Prior – part of a defence that has conceded the most in the #ALW
Grant – not starting
Torpey- not playing

Heatley- Heatley rules. She should start
