Early years
Brisbane Roar (then Queensland Roar) were a founding member of the W-League in 2008. The team was initially coached by Welshman Jeff Hopkins, who had played his football career predominantly in England, as well as representing Wales at the international level. The playing roster featured a mix of youth and veterans, including founding captain and Matildas stalwart, Kate McShea, and up-and-coming goalkeeper Casey Dumont.
