What was there for her to see?

Game has just started. Weather delay 

Well that was a terrible goal to concede…

Width of a post away from conceding an equally terrible goal.

Mariners player elbows Harding in the face while looking directly at her. Referee decides it isn’t even worthy of a free kick.

Sarah Jones is woman in the middle, fails to card Evans for a tackle on Ferris

And now another one. Chessari got her eye socket smashed in and she's bleeding.

Just gave us a free kick. We tried to take it quickly but kicked it straight into the fouled player on the ground. Decided to restart play with a drop ball.

After putting the elbow on Harding it was pretty satisfying watching Galic get clattered in the buildup to that goal.

So are the Mariners Women are the dirtiest team in the league

Same as the Men. Dirty club.

In recent memory I'd have to say the bulls. It took law enforcement to clean that club up a tiny bit. But with 3 of their worst headed for court, I'd say the mariners are definitely giving them a run for their money this year

I suppose if we're counting actual illegal things not on-field roughness 

The ref was a dud but we were pretty diabolical.

36% possession, 64% pass accuracy, our goal came from our only shot on target (CCM had 10), and 60 passes in the opposition half to their 177.

We were f*cking woeful. 

The second half we were slightly better, it’s a miracle the score ended up at only 1-3. 

So this experiment of signing state league 1 players on the cheap hasn't worked out and not producing the results the club thinks they can get

If the results are "run the team as cheaply as possible" then it probably is working for the club.

In the club’s defence (never thought I’d say that…) - the Golden Boot winner from League One Women (Aya Seino) injured her ankle in pre-season and has been out since. Her and Harada would’ve had the chemistry and combinations to get at least a few goals - even at the A-Leagues level. 
 

However, I completely agree. It’s interesting that both Sydney FC and WSW Women’s have so many League One Women’s players - and are both sitting at the bottom of the table. Funny about that hey.

Getting rid of the previous head coach - and using the same Head Coach for the A-League Women’s *and* WSW Women’s Academy/NPL Women’s side, would be a part of those cost-saving measures…

So where does Tom Sermanni sit in all this clusterf**k?

I mean, he didn’t even know the A-League Women’s didn’t have VAR - I’m quite skeptical of him… 
 

But one source says he’s back at the club as Head of Women’s Football. 

Another source says that as he’s involved with the Matildas, he’s unable to be back at the club as Head of Women’s Football.
