I honestly think that is why her and winders are on the outside of the SF at the moment

Wilson – too much movement, too predictable for Jury.
Crampton – couldn’t get free enough from Ioane.

Just like Nweke last weekend in the first half against Pulse – too much movement, feeders not able to get a feed in. If a holding shooter can also provide movement in the circle they should know when is the time to use it.

Crampton in particular concerns me, she really hasn’t been in consistent top form for a long time now and if she is the ‘stability and experience’ that the Ferns need in WA, yet is showing she can’t break clear of dogged defence then is she really a World Cup Squad contender? She should have the ability to think on the fly but last evening this wasn’t showing.

Anyway Stars clearly outplayed by the Pulse, who came out willing to run themselves in to the ground and scrap to the end. Not the prettiest game but hey the umpires didn’t reign it in at the beginning and were left scrambling by the half time break.

Yes Maryann, Ioane played a blinder against Crampton. Uncharacteristic mistakes from Wilson but high shooting stats.

I’m kinda liking these unpredictable, scrappy games where players are being tested under pressure.

@Minkie – Yes very good article. Very honest and raw about bullying through social media and the impact on players, family (like yourself) and friends, her injuries and how they combine to mess with the ability of players to perform. A lot of it by people who don’t follow closely and have no idea from week to week, but no matter who makes the comments it is not on.

Thanks for the tip about the article about Mes on Stuff.

Can’t link but found it easily on google using ‘article about bailey mes 2023’.

It’s called ‘Bailey Mes excelling again on the netball court after challenging times’ and it’s written by Brendon Egon.

No Fitzpatrick. If the Magic attack can fire, game on.

Enjoyed reading Mes’s article.
