Members of the Impetus 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 10/1/24
Player of the week
Ben Carey
Vesna Milivojevic. Once again she has hit top form at the perfect time. An exquisite cross to set up a header from Heyman, and an even better goal of her own just over 10 minutes later. She’s on another level entirely.
Kieran Yap
Peta Trimis was brilliant for Central Coast against Wellington Phoenix. She was aggressive and creative in attack, finished her goal well and almost sealed the game with another strong run and pass late in the game. Dynamic stuff from the Young Matilda.
Coach of the week
Ben Carey
Robbie Hooker. He led his side, Western Sydney Wanderers, to a historic win over league leaders, Melbourne City. What a resurgence his team is having.
Kieran Yap
Robbie Hooker for me too. His team was once again very well organised against a Melbourne City side that would have been favourites. The Wanderers goal might’ve seemed fortunate but they set the trap for City and executed it perfectly.
Moment of the week
Ben Carey
Michelle Heyman scoring her 100th ALW goal. What an incredible achievement for a legend of the game.
Kieran Yap
Princess Ibini’s assist for Cortnee Vine was art, Cass Davis’s backheel for Sarina Bolden was glorious and Peta Trimis’s goal was very nice, but it’s obviously Michelle Heyman this week.
It’s the moment of the week, the season, probably of the decade. 100 goals is historic.
