The A-League Women nominees for the Austraffic PFA Player of the Month award for April have been locked in, with six players up for the sixth and final peer-voted award of the campaign.
All six players were nominated based off their performances during the final weeks of regular season action in April and must be PFA members to be eligible for the award.
PFA Members will receive a link from the PFA to vote on the nominees this week, along with voting for the 2024-25 PFA A-League Women Team of the Season.
Take a look at the nominees, below.
Holly McNamara (Melbourne City)
For the third consecutive month, McNamara is in the mix for the peer-voted award after sealing the league’s Golden Boot. The 22-year-old bagged three goals in two games to take her tally to 15 goals in 17 appearances this season and help Melbourne City secure back-to-back A-League Women Premierships. McNamara – who won the PFA Player of the Month in February – has incredibly scored in each of her last six appearances in all competitions, which also includes their Asian Women’s Champions League victory over Taichung Blue Whale.
Alex Chidiac (Melbourne Victory)
Chidiac’s brilliant end to the regular campaign sees her among the nominees for the final peer-voted award for the season, helping Melbourne Victory to an all-important top two finish. The Victory midfielder was a consistent presence in the heart of Jeff Hopkins’ side, putting together three brilliant performances in April to keep her side in the mix for the Premiership right until the final round. Chidiac added an assist against the Central Coast Mariners and a goal at home in their final regular season contest against Brisbane Roar, which ultimately led to Victory securing a club record undefeated streak of 13 consecutive games heading into finals.
Sarah Morgan (Adelaide United)
Morgan caps off her breakout campaign with a Player of the Month nomination, after helping the Reds return to the finals for the first time since 2022. The 24-year-old fired home for the Reds in their 3-1 away win over their upcoming Elimination Final opponent, Western United, before adding an assist against reigning champions Sydney FC in their final home game of the regular season.
Tameka Yallop (Brisbane Roar)
Yallop’s fantastic second season back with Brisbane Roar ends with a nomination for the Player of the Month. The PFA Co-President took her tally to 12 goals for the season after bagging a hat-trick in their 4-4 draw with Western Sydney Wanderers, which ultimately ended Brisbane’s hopes of playing finals football. The Matildas midfielder ended the the season finishing equal-second in the Golden Boot tally after one of the best goalscoring seasons of her esteemed career.
Taylor Otto (Melbourne City)
Otto has been a star from start to finish this season, and ultimately, ends the campaign with a Player of the Month nomination after two key performances. The American defender played a key role in their 4-1 victory against Newcastle Jets in the penultimate round of the season, before a match-winning performance in the final game of the campaign against Perth Glory. While it was her defensive efforts have earned plaudits this campaign, Otto’s work in attack shone on the road at Perth, bagging a brace to help her side secure back-to-back Premierships.
Emma Robers (Canberra United)
Canberra United are on their way back to the finals and Robers’ performances were critical in securing a place inside the top six. Robers – who made the move from Western United in the off-season – has slot in brilliantly inside Canberra’s best XI and helped the side from the capital secure finals football with a run of solid performances. To cap it off, Robers tallied an assist on the road against Western Sydney Wanderers in their final game of the regular season.
