Dani is TWG's Brisbane correspondent.

Dani has been playing Grassroots football for the past 12 years up in Brissy. (You'd think after 12 years she'd at least be on the bench for the Roar, yeah?).

Realising relatively early on that being a Forward or a Midfielder involved way too much running, she finally settled into the Defensive pack; where 'sledging', shirt-pulling & 'roofing' the ball were all perfectly acceptable!

Having discovered the Matildas back in 2004, Dani has since been a massive supporter of Women's football. She continues to promote the women's game in the hope of achieving better & more equitable conditions for the tireless & widely unrecognized efforts of its professional, female participants.

If trapped on an island with 3 footballing personalities, she'd be getting 'bending' & grooming tips off Beckham, talking game strategy with Kelly Smith.. & 'paying out' both the Brits with Walshy (Sarah).. Oh and of course Wilson! (soccer ball version)
