Talia Younis

And they've only really retained, no offence, they've only really retained like a handful of players, mostly young players.

So Talia Younis has signed on for another season or two.

Alyssa Ng Saad has signed on for another two seasons.

And in a very interesting discovery, the Wanderers are, I think, one of the only clubs who have handed out a three-year contract this season to two players, one of whom is junior Matilda Frieda Karaberas, which is kind of unheard of in the dub.

Maybe it wouldn't be my approach to get rid of all your experienced players and then bring in, I think, you know, relatively experienced players, replacing them wholesale.

But I wonder if there's something, like, from a coaching or football perspective, they're like, we need to just... change things completely rather than I think there's an approach from other clubs where they just kind of just keep doing the same thing maybe because it's easier and so like with when you combine that with the fact that they've got younger players who are signing on to longer deals maybe that's They're thinking of the future.

They're seeing someone like Talia Younis and they're like, we're going to build towards what you'll become and we'll put in the scaffolding in place, but also doing a mass clear out at the same time.

So it's maybe they're just, you know, doing a lot at once.

Yeah.

But just on the girls coming through now, I think of like a Talia Younis, for example, who's going to be a superstar.

Like her upbringing coming up in football in Australia, so different to what yours is.

Like there's so much attention on the game.

So I think it was an interesting game where the Bulls were definitely the better team, but I think how much better could they have been if they took full advantage?

How shocked were you when there was no Talia Younis in the starting 11? I tried to get an official answer out of Wanderers today, but they kept the cards close to the chest and just said that she wasn't available.

They didn't say why, but she was ruled out.

And I think any hope of an upset Wanderers had more or less wrote on Talia Younis being able to score at the other end.

I did the game, which ended well.

5-3 between these two teams.
