Mariana Milanovic

The latest player to find her way into the pages of the project is Matilda #39, Mariana Milanovic.

The club Mariana has nominated is a new one to the list, Adelaide Croatia, who played out of Hanson Reserve in Woodville back in the day.

Starting at the club at 13 and going straight into senior football at the minimum allowable age, she spent 8 years with the club now known as Adelaide Raiders. During her time there the club would rise from the 3rd division to win the 1st Div title and all the while being coached by players from the club's first grade men's side. The club, by all accounts, played a more technical brand of football than the others which no doubt contributed to their success.

Mariana made her debut in the Matildas midfield in 1986 in the first game of the Oceania Cup in New Zealand, a tournament in which she played in all 3 matches.

It is a pleasure to put another vital piece of the South Australian football puzzle into place. ​

Football is a game that requires a lot of focus. I understand that is filled with lots of dangerous things, but that is why focus is important. If you want to be a great football player, then just try harder. As long as you want to do it, then you can, trust me. Football takes a lot of work to be great at, and I am hoping that we can make it to the top together, I want to be there with you.

    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.
