Given their TGC form I actually wrote off the Giants but wow have they played well the last few games and look Ike genuine favourites based on current form. I’ve been very impressed with the composure their attack line has shown.
I think Maddie Hay may very well be the most underrated player in SSN. Always so reliable, hardly throws the ball away and seems to almost always be an option in attack but she hardly ever gets a mention or any praise.
Hay is also so underrated because of much more difficult it is to feed a moving circle. I think she’d be great for the Diamonds feeding the likes of Bueta and Koenen at GS. Browne, Rav and Proud have been hard done by not making the squad but they only feed tall holding shooters.
With regard to Hay, we were praising her last year, but she’s actually had a quiet year this year by comparison. But now Giants have found form, expect her to play well from now on.
