2020 SSN GRAND FINAL – VIXENS v FEVER

I’m very interested to see how the held ball calls are going to be umpired in the grand final.

Two of the best proponents of baulking 1-2-3 times as they shoot… and the calls in the round games have pretty much fallen onto only one of them.

:scratch:

(Where is that NS poster from years past who used to an measure and analyse the held balls after most games??)

Eddy has been named in the 12 for the Grand Final.

Schmeetle, just because a player baulks the shot doesn’t automatically mean its a held ball just the same as a player looking at a few options before passing isnt. Umpires at this level should be counting to 3 the same way every time a player has ball in hand.

JBass; I know that. However there has always been great inconsistency with held ball calls. As demonstrated by the NS member who did quite detailed analysis.

I remember the great IVD being astonished when she was called for held ball after taking a couple of seconds to right herself from a massive split and almost over balance, then line up the shot and then “bleep” held ball.

Thwaites, ATN (and in the past Prats), Romelda when un-tieing herself from her splits all take longer than 3 seconds multiple times during a game.

Great news for Eddy!

Wow not much love for Fever on the forum. I hope they win tomorrow.
One player does not make a team! The Fever team know how to use their weapon. They are a well coached and skilled team.
I like Caitlin Thwaites as much as everyone else but I think Fever have the players to take her out of the game.
Not long to find out!

Does anyone know what the backup plan is for when channel 9 cut to the press conference in Victoria? It’s scheduled for 1pm today so I’m concerned cause previously I’ve missed a lot of games because of that ☹️
