Members of the Impetus 71 team of contributors covering the competition unveil their choices of player, coach, and event of the week. We’ll keep a tally of all the votes and just before Finals, reveal which player and coach have received the most votes across the season to be named the Impetus A-League Women Player and Coach of the Season (1/1/24).

Player of the week:

BEN GILBY: Can’t go beyond Emina Ekić. A hat-trick and an assist in Melbourne City’s 5-3 win over Brisbane Roar. Absolutely sensational.

JONATHON HAGGER: Millie Farrow. The Perth Glory attacker is one of the competition’s most in-form goalscorers right now. However, to just term her a goalscorer doesn’t do justice to her ability and worth to the team. Her work rate is phenomenal.

BEN CAREY: Emina Ekić. Her performance against Brisbane Roar was absolutely magnificent. Three goals and an assist. If she maintains this form, she’ll be a contender for the Golden Boot award.

Coach of the week:

BEN GILBY: Robbie Hooker. It’s taken a while for the Wanderers to find their feet this season, but Hooker has slowly developed his team after coming in as boss so close to the season starting. He guided them to a sensational win over a Melbourne Victory side containing the returning Alex Chidiac.

JONATHON HAGGER: Gary van Egmond – Newcastle Jets are steadily climbing the table and their success over Adelaide United was both impressive and important.

BEN CAREY: Robbie Hooker. Picking his team up from a rough start of the season and leading them to a solid win over the three-time champions, Melbourne Victory is a wonderful achievement. 

Moment of the week:

BEN GILBY: Gema Simon coming on to make her 150th appearance for a club she was a foundation player for in 2008/09. A wonderful achievement by a total legend of both Newcastle Jets and the Australian game.

JONATHON HAGGER: Ante Juric getting a yellow card!

BEN CAREY: Chloe Logarzo reaching 100 W/A-League Women appearances against Canberra United. Amazing effort.
