GK HinchliffeI’m most excited to see the two defence ends. The Firebirds will have to come up against a shorter mobile circle and bring fantastic footwork whereas Shimmin, Guscoth and Sterling seem tailor made for the aerial balls that Aiken has been enjoying. For me its whether they can do the groundwork on Dwan that will win them the game.
Dunkley/Mimi on Van der Merwe will be good tooCommentary feels awkward already. I wanna give them the benefit of the doubt and say they’ll warm into it
It has been interesting to see Mimi slowly get less court time compared to the start of the season, I thought she was close to locking up that WA bib
Netball Live is being soo blurry for me this week, anyone else in the same boat?
Sterling needs to get her feet in front of Aiken’s otherwise tonight is going to be a bad night for TBirds
Two early turnovers in the Thunderbirds goal circle. Firebirds go 4-1
No defensive pressure on Dwan or AIkenAnother goal third turnover, Firebirds go 6-1
You know, I think I like these Firebirds dresses more than the regular ones.
Meanwhile, great start for them, up 6-1
The Dwan/Aiken combination reminds me of the Medhurst/Aiken combination. They’re both so dangerous and know exactly how to balance their play.
We knew she was good but Dunkley is a revelation for firebirds in WA. They’ve traditionally gone for a steady player in C with a more dynamic player with speed and flair in WA. Dunkleys strength height poise and vision makes her a perfect fit, she’s executing beautifully when she gets feeding opportunities too. Mimi and Gardner will have to work hard to get out on court.
Potgieter is not on the top of her game, another turnover from her and she misses a goal from right under
Agree I love this Firebirds dress. Firebirds very clinical at the moment and Aiken winning her contest against Sterling currently, she is really being given too much room in front
