Vixens will be fine. They lost by 13 after losing the 2nd quarter by 11. Second half was much improved. They always struggle against TBirds. Last year they lost by 15 and 25 in two games in Adelaide before the GF. Defensively they look better than last year which is surprising as Mannix is a big loss. But last year they struggled to win clean ball. Yesterday they got 8 intercepts with 6 combined to Weston (who answered her critics), Eddy (who should be in the Diamonds squad if she keeps this up) and Caris (who had a nice debut). I still want to see Weston and Eddy together, maybe we will see it against moving circles like SC and Fever. When Austin is beaten the Vixens attack loses it way, she will be fine and probably get player of the match next week. Graham continues to develop nicely and shoots the SS with confidence given them a nice change up there.
TBirds look good. They are favourites but not sure they have as much as depth as last year as I agree with the comments about Kayla Graham.
