2021 SSN ROUND 6

There have been plenty of comments on here making fun of players’ skin, or Hadley’s teeth, my comment was not negative in any way, although some of you have chosen to interpret it as such.

I think one of the biggest issues for the magpies is their experienced players aren’t stepping up. You’ve got Mentor, Browne and Nelson (has now been around for quite a few years) not holding their own or playing consistently enough so the inexperienced players around them are being overly exposed.

I know there are 8/9 rds to go in the SSN, but I get the feeling the top 4 are sorted already.
Not really what a top level comp is all about.

Glasgow was barely back from injury when the season ended last year. It feels like she was the one that wanted to move on, rather than Tbirds not wanting her.

As for Firebirds, I think they are suffering from their returning players not being ready for full games from a management point of view (Bueta) or not quite maintaining the intensity for 60 minutes (Rav) and it’s causing a bit of disorder with interchange and turnovers. Their defenders are out of play a lot and they don’t have a genuine back up/impact option if Hinchliffe/Jenner/Simpson aren’t clicking, and as soon as that happens, they bleed goals.

Haythornthwaite in the starting lineup again. Parmenter will eat up those pocket balls, hopefully Nat’s learnt her lesson from last week.

Excellent attack from both teams! It will be interesting to see how willing they are to take super shots, given how difficult it is to get ball back at the other end.
