Winners from tonight’s Brisbane Roar Gala Night.

So the end result of this is that across all streams the video has been viewed over 64000 times 😮 The shorter version was shared by the Matildas, then the FIFA World Cup account, then Mia. Freaking. Hamm.

We’ve been blown away by the incredibly positive response to this!

HARPER | Meet Harper, one of the youngest members of The Roar Corps but certainly one of our most engaged! We asked her about what she got up to this season, but also had a sneaky surprise organised for her - a visit from her hands down, all time absolute favourite player, Clare Polkinghorne.

Check out Harper’s reaction and the amazing words that she had to say about Polks, and how she inspires her.

PS. If you can live your life with even half of the enthusiam that Harper has, you’ll have a good life indeed!

What a champion Em Gielnik is!

A BIG congratulations to our coach Mel Andreatta winning Coach of the Year, and our very own Chris McAlister for winning Female Fan of the Year at the rebel Female Football Awards yesterday morning.

👏👏👏 Amazing job supporting and promoting women in football - with even bigger and better things to come in the future!

Another member of The Roar Corps, Lee McGowan (Harper’s father!) has been announced as the Community Male Champion for his work in recognising the significance of the women’s game through research into its rich history and advocating for increased female participation across all levels of the community.

Dr. McGowan’s research has led to founding and championing a digital project showcasing Brisbane’s rich history of women’s football, entitled ‘with the ball at HER feet’.

What an incredible and talented team we have!

Relive all the happy tears and laughter from the afternoon where Harper’s hero, Polks, paid her a surprise visit (in case you missed it, you can see the video here. Bring some tissues).

All photos were generously captured by the wonderful Lightsmith Images.

Harper was pretty chuffed after meeting the Matildas at Brisbane open training yesterday, with Alanna and Raso both recognising her and telling her the video made them cry 🧡

🎵 She’s tough and she’s a winner,

She eats forwards for dinner.

You know she’s gonna skin her,

Alanna Kennedy.
