Westfield W-League 2014/15 Round 7 Review
A remarkable weekend in the Westfield W-League was marked by a competition record attendance, and upset wins for bottom pair Western Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United.
www.myfootball.com.auHere’s the latest on the 2014–15 A-League, based on the most recent available summaries and historical recaps:
-
Overview: The 2014–15 A-League was the 11th season of Australia’s top flight, running from October 2014 to May 2015, with Melbourne Victory winning the Grand Final and Brisbane Roar starting as defending Premiers/Champions. Attendance and league dynamics varied as teams adjusted after the Melbourne Heart rebrand to Melbourne City earlier in 2014.
-
Key events from that season:
- The season featured a January suspension window to avoid clashing with the AFC Asian Cup hosted by Australia, temporarily pausing play for a couple of weeks. Melbourne Victory eventually claimed the championship with a 3–0 Grand Final win over Sydney FC.
- Brisbane Roar began as defending Premiers and Champions, with ongoing competition from Melbourne Victory, Sydney FC, and others, as teams jockeyed for finals positions.
-
Notable team changes and milestones:
- The season marked the first year Melbourne Heart competed under the new name Melbourne City after the June 2014 rebranding. This change contributed to shifts in squad strength and branding across the league.
- The competition included traditional powerhouses like Sydney FC and Wellington Phoenix contending for points, with Melbourne Victory and other clubs pushing for finals berths.
-
Stats and records (highlights):
- The Grand Final attendance and individual player performances were documented in season summaries, with top players and clean sheets highlighted in season retrospectives. For example, Vedran Janjetović led as a standout goalkeeper for Sydney FC in clean sheets across the season’s context.
- The season’s final table and major match results are summarized in season review pages, including notable Derby and Big Blue clashes that shaped finals qualification.
