2020 SSN ROUND 11 – THUNDERBIRDS v FIREBIRDS

Kudos to Jenner and Hinchliffe for making the Tbirds work so hard for position in those last few minutes while staying in play, they let a few ones go but were really solid despite how frantic it all became.

Petty has really struggled this year. Williams is still a little way off but has almost over taken Petty. Think Nankivell has over taken Petty, considering her versatility.
The one thing I hate with the two point shot, is that it puts a lot of pressure onto the likes of Horjus that the GS won’t shoot and looks around trying to find the GA.

MDD refers to the Firebirds as WE!!! Are you kidding? There was a ridiculous amount of mispronunciations of the players by MDD today.
Also, didn’t realise this was the SUNCOPE league thanks to the male commentator for letting us know.

Firebirds did an amazing job to convert all their centre passes during the power play when you consider who the T’Birds had in court in defence. Another near miss for SSN with the supershot: Firebirds would have won by 10 in real netball.

Dunkley has stood up so strongly for me. I do also wonder if Mi Mi is injured though as the attack end faded a bit in the second half. Jenner is far too undisciplined to be in the Diamonds 12, she and Hinchliffe gave the T’Birds so many free shots at the end. Hopefully Dean’s shoulder will be ok.

It’ll be very hard for the T’Birds now. I don’t see them winning with big margins against the Giants, Swifts or Fever, so they’ll need to hope for Lightning or Swifts to lose and lose big.

It’s actually hard watching these Adelaide games with commentary. Wish the app had a button to mute commentary but keep background noise!
