Bolstered by the return of CommBank Matildas star Sharn Freier, Brisbane Roar will make another tilt at the top six this season – but their odds of success will depend on whether head coach Alex Smith can get consistency out of a team that put together a Jekyll and Hyde campaign in 2024-25.

The Roar raced to top spot early in the season off the back of seven wins from their first 10 games and, after smashing Newcastle Jets and Western United 6-1 and 8-2 respectively in back-to-back games, looked a certainty for finals and a contender for silverware.

But it all fell apart for Brisbane through the second half of the season, with just one win from 13 games seeing Smith’s side tumble out of the top six.

Matildas legend Tameka Yallop re-signing for another season was another tremendous boost for the Roar in 2025-26, while the addition of Matildas keeper Chloe Lincoln and former Ajax striker Bente Jansen have added to the excitement around this Brisbane squad and what can be achieved in the new campaign.

Brisbane squad (so far)

New signings: Chloe Lincoln, Amali Kinsella, Daisy Brown, Kijah Stephenson, Kiera Meyers, Tahlia Franco, Ashlyn Miller, Kayla Hanson, Bente Jansen, Sharn Freier, Marianna Seidl, Josie Studer

Re-signings: Tameka Yallop (2025-26)
