I was at the games today.
Recap
Magpies v Vixens
Low intensity match in comparison to the Sydney derby. Mannix played really well especially early days on Nelson. Nelson in the first quarter/half was very fumbly. Also had one hand holding off Mannix and one hand trying to get the ball.
The switch between Jovic and Browne seemed to work well.
I was very impressed with Mundy. Her movement was very smooth and came across differently live as to watching on tv. I thought she probably had the better of Braz. Ward was incredibly. Was everywhere!! Barkmeyer has a lot better movement than Stanton, however her shot was off. I wish Kumwenda had the ability to stay in the circle and let the others bring the ball to her, but not the case.
Swifts v Giants
Intensity was up from the first whistle. Parmy and JLP continually look at the umpires for a free, or to dispute a call. JLP quite physical. Maddie Hay got MVP, whilst she was good, she wasn’t flashy. Had 3 opponents and well deserved MVP. Wallace seemed a bit off today and did miss more shots than she usually does. Poolman had a pretty good game. I would’ve swapped Garbin into GS, or even Housby to get Poolman’ head moving. Think Brionys changes may have lost the game for them.
Quite excited in the hope there will be more netball in Adelaide – in saying that, I don’t remember the last Tbirds game I’ve been too ?.
Well held event by Netball SA with the ability to hold a functioning junior netball competition outside and hold SSN inside.
