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 29/1/24
Player of the week
Ben Carey
Hannah Keane. Her two goals and one assist were absolutely instrumental in Western United’s big winn over league leaders, Melbourne City. The Keane of last season seems to well and truly be back!
Kieran Yap
Tameka Yallop. The high profile recruit to the roar has had an injury interrupted start to the season, but has steadily found her form.
Yallop was back to her very best against Western Sydney’s lauded defence. With one breathtaking assists and an opportunistic goal of her own. It was vintage Yallop.
Coach of the week
Ben Carey
Adrian Stenta. He ended his team’s four match losing streak in an emphatic fashion, with a huge win over second placed Perth Glory.
Kieran Yap
Paul Temple. The Phoenix were already without Michaela Foster and Mackenzie Barry, but then had Rylee Foster sent off and had to withdraw Macey Fraser.
Wellington were two goals up but we’re up against the odds against one of the league’s best attacks. They reorganised, did not panic and ground out an impressive win.
Moment of the week
Ben Carey
Brianna Edward’s penalty save against Rojas after just having been subbed on was insane. Nothing can beat that this week.
Kieran Yap
Brianna Edwards. The save, the performance for the rest of the half and the post match interview. Magnificent.
