Halmarick is a weapon of a player 3-0 #AUSvTPE

Halmarick gets her boot on the ball 2-0 #AUSvTPE

Goal Australia but I'm not sure who that was... #AUSvTPE

Drinks break in the first half and it 0-0 #AUSvTPE #Matildas #U20

Still coming down from the high of the final #Matildas game for 2024 (and the joy of taking my nieces to their first ⚽️ game). 😊

#AUSvTPE

Aaaand, there it is.
How good.

Screenshot from the Matilda’s v Chinese Taipei friendly in Geelong last night at the 31 minute mark. Shows an official holding up a substitution sign, shortly after Chia-Ying went down with what appeared to be a knee injury. Su Yu-Hsuan was subbed on in her place.

Anyone out there have any intel on Ting Chia-Ying’s injury?

Hate to see players stretchered off.

#AUSvTPE

I would very like Gielnik to score so that she can stop trying so damn hard, and just have fun up front.

#AUSvTPE

Was off the grid for the second #AUSvTPE match.
Have just started watching the replay and oh my that EVE delivery + Davidson header was quite nice.

if you have questions for the pod after last night's game (and the window as a whole) speak now or forever hold your peace! #Matildas #AUSvTPE

100% - Winonah Heatley (Australia) won all of her duels (6/6), completed all of her dribbles (4/4) & tackles (2/2) in #AUSvTPE tonight - only the 2nd player to log at least two in each for #Matildas & maintain a 100% success rate since Opta began collecting the data in 2016. Perfect.

That’s an incredible attendance in Geelong.

No signs of Matildamentom slowing down. How good?!!
#Matildas #AUSvTPE

six different goalscorers and the returns of Chidiac, Nash, Siemsen and Roestbakken to the Tillies.

thank you, Tom Sermanni!

#Matildas #AUSvTPE

Very cool that Polkinghorne, Gill and Kellond-Knight played for the Matildas together.

#AUSvTPE

Good win, minutes for EVE, Yallop, Gielnik, Logarzo (cut short 😞) ahead of the Feb window, some minutes into the new players, and a fitting farewell to Polks.
Not a bad evening! Seeya Feb Tillie's!
#MATILDAS #AUSvTPE

Shoutout to the game a week earlier btw, with *two* of tonight's players (plus some other recent NT members) playing then. It really ramped up over the next several years, but this was kind of the start of Sermanni bringing through the kids. Whatever my nitpicking, a neat full circle now. #AUSvTPE

Brilliant finish to the year by the Tillies…a 6-0 win, farewelling Polks, and a clean sheet for the first time in ages! And a “player of the tournament” call out for Meeks - so well-deserved! 💚💛💚💛💚💛 #Matildas #AUSvTPE

A big win in Geelong for the Matildas 💪

A side full of new faces put on a display at GMHBA Stadium, securing an impressive 6-0 victory 🔥

Full time! Great farewell to Polks and great showing from Prior and Freier. Tom Sermanni was brought in to restore the Matilda’s confidence and this international window has done that. More than that, he’s brought out the best in so many debutants #AUSvTPE

That was entertaining!!

#AUSvTPE

Quality game tonight from the Matildas. A lot of exciting signs for the future. #AUSvTPE

Agree Adam, very similar though I think Hughes is a better player #AUSvTPE

Nice way to end the year with a clean sheet. Well done #Tillies! #AUSvTPE

Watching Hughes and how she moves, she reminds me a lot of Clare Wheeler. Similar vibe on the pitch. #AUSvTPE

I'd love to see an emerging player team like this take on a lower ranked team that plays close to feet and really presses hard. We always struggle against that, but don't want another outing like against Spain. A Portugal perhaps?
#AUSvTPE

#Matildas

I’m already a big fan of Laura Hughes. Any player who is capable of playing passes with all parts of the foot (side , back heel) is a quality player in my book. Siemsen also very impressive since coming on. #AUSvTPE

Why does this now look EVE is minding the kids #AUSvTPE

#SendtheKeeperUp #AUSvTPE

Henry really wants another goal. Maybe a bit too much #AUSvTPE
