Sat:
Firebirds v Magpies
Giants v TbirdsSun:
Vixens v Fever
Swifts v LightningI found this one so hard to tip! Picked the Magpies given Firebirds have lost Gardner.
Firebirds got off to a fast start, but Magpies have pegged them back. Score now 14-13 to Firebirds with 2 minutes left 1st Q
1/4 time: 15-15
As you might expect from these teams, a frantic, chaotic sort of match, with 6 turnovers each already. After another hesitant start, Sophie Garbin has settled into this game better than the past few.
Magpies call a timeout with Firebirds up 27-26 after 8 1/2 minutes of the second Q. This quarter a lot cleaner.
1/2 time: Magpies 37-35
Well, that Q was very different to the first. 22-20 to Magpies. Only 4 turnovers in all. Attack right on top of defence. Both GSs dominating. Kelsey Browne going great guns in her 100th match.
Hulita Veve is on for Firebirds, Ravaillion to WD and Simpson off. Magpies 40-38
How on earth does Veve not already have an SSN contract
If we’re assuming Bueta is back next year, do you think Stower might be at risk of losing her spot to Moore possibly…
Yes. It’s no coincidence that they play better with Moore on court.
3/4 time: Firebirds 54-49
Garbin had a super shot ruled out right on 3/4 time. That Q was 19-12 to Firebirds, but Magpies are still right in this.
Wallam has 47 goals, Nelson 44
This is a hard decision for the Australian coach. Garbin tried and proven GS. Garbin out of form and doesn’t want to shoot shots unless v close to the post. Wallam unproven at international level but inform. Hard choice. Dwyer should be the reserve shooter as she is playing very well.
