Tuesday Transfer Madness and A-League Women All Stars Review

So as I said, woke up on Tuesday morning, Tameka Gallop leaving Brisbane Raw.

and was announced as having signed with the Wellington Phoenix, a move that was predominantly put down to, I believe it was family reasons off the top of my head.

Obviously, her wife is from New Zealand.

They have a child together.

They want to obviously raise a child in New Zealand.

Oh, they have two children together.

Sorry, my mistake.

Thank you, Burke.

I want to raise them in New Zealand.

I mean, Wellington Phoenix probably, as we saw last season, maybe needed that veteran presence around.

And so to make Yalop a good signing from that perspective has obviously had some injury issues recently, which kept her out of the Asian Cup squad.

We know the praise that Joe Montemuro has given to Tameka Yallop, and you can imagine if she gets a full season of football for the Wellington Phoenix that she will be on the plane to Brazil.

You know, so good move, Burke?

I doubt it'll be bad.

I mean, it's Tameka Yallop.

It's not like it's some unknown, undiscovered player.

Like, we're... well aware of just how much of a threat she can be on the pitch.

Um, we saw, like, we seen some really great moments from her.

in recent years, obviously, like you said, been hampered by injury, but it does feel like a massive steal for the Knicks to get her from Brisbane, because she's from Queensland.

So I do worry that if her children do take up football, that it means they might play for the Ferns, which I don't like.

I don't like that.

But hey, you can't win them all.

You can't win them

But yeah, I hope she does well over there and I hope she gets to have an uninterrupted season because when she's on, she's one of the best players in the league, without a doubt.

Yeah, no, I absolutely think that is more than a fair assessment that, you know, one of the best players in the league.
