No wrap up on either Foxtel/Kayo or Netballpass. That’s a shame.
Tactix’ penalty count and shooting % let them down. Blow out in the last quarter.
The 2nd game is underway today, with Mystics hosting Stars. Mystics are up 14-9 late in the first Q.
1/4 time: Mystics 16-9
Nweke 15/19 (79%)
Falkner 1/1 (100%)Wilson 7/7 (100%)
Malesala 0/01/2 time: Mystics 32-18
Nweke 28/33 (85%)
Falkner 4/7 (57%)Wilson 10/13 (77%)
Malesala 6/10 (60%)Mystics have won both Qs by exactly the same score line – 16-9. So that seems to indicate the gap between the teams. Can Stars do anything to change things up?
3/4 time: Mystics 50-29
Nweke 42/49 (86%)
Vui 4/6 (67%)Malesala 14/19 (74%)
Hume 2/6 (33%)Mystics added another 7 goals on to their lead in the 3rd Q. It has been a dominant display so far. Sulu Fitzpatrick in everything in defence.
Wilson has the yips again… I can’t believe she has a pretty much guaranteed plane ticket to Birmingham when someone like Dunn who is a flawless shooter could miss out because they can’t complete a beep test in a certain time.
Maia is a different player in the ferns. I feel being stars captain is a big problem. But Dunn and Poi should be in the ferns, but bet they won’t be.
wonder if wilson will follow gabi simpson’s footsteps and take time away from captaincy? just to relieve some of the pressure off herself and focus on her own game and her shooting
A comprehensive win for Mystics!

So Wow, wow, wow – Mystics defence was on point!
The Stars play again on Wednesday night, against the Pulse, it’s one of the earlier postponed games.
I think Tiana is playing herself out of SF contention this year more so than last, needs to put more goals up for an international GA, and she also jumps INTO the defender a lot and doesn’t get called for it.
Dunn still going solid but probably can be a bit soft of hands sometimes and moving off her hold too so and allowing the D to come back with her.
Also prefer Lokotui at WD than Gordon atm.
Tactix need to change their attacking line up next season, been too stagnant for a few years now to keep playing below par. Poi at WA works but you loose her full court pressure.
So good to see Phoenix have such a strong game. The mystics D end is truly Silver Ferns worthy.
It will be really interesting to see who makes the SF this year. I feel that the selections for D are much easier than elsewhere on the court -
