Good things come to those who wait. I have been sitting on this post for almost 2 years hoping to find a GrassRoots photo & after reffing at Gymea last Saturday and having a casual conversation with the right person, here we are.
Matilda #16 is the latest to reveal her GrassRoots club.
Jamie Rosman is one of the youngest to ever wear the green and gold being capped at 15 on the first tour of NZ in 1980 after being spotted playing for Gymea Utd in the Sutherland Shire comp in southern Sydney and coming through the state & national championships. She was one of 3 locals selected in the very first official Matildas squad.
The defender went on to play for a number of other local outfits and went on to form one of the first women's AFL clubs in Sydney.
My thanks to both Jamie's Mum Jan for putting us together and to Gymea for the only girls team pic they had, it just happened to be the right one.
Welcome aboard Ms Jamie . 
ps... there is another future Matilda in the same Gymea pic, but for that you will have to wait.

    the author

    Greg Werner began playing in 1965, with the GrassRoots club of Socceroo skipper Murray Barnes, a change of suburb at age 6 and a new club, one that would become the GrassRoots club of Rob Wheatley & after a 27 year hiatus came back to playing with the GrassRoots club of Socceroos Steve Perry, Richie Bell, Chris Iconomidis & Matilda, Justine Fisher, one could say that the links with the NT are ingrained.
    At age 55, when his body gave up on playing, he took up the whistle to stay actively involved. In November of 2014 he created the GFP on Facebook to fill the void left by those in control of the game & in January 2016 launched this website.
