Umpires were sending off Ioane (WD) for dangerous contact although it was Mason (GD) who was at fault. Ioane wasn’t smart enough in the moment to identify that the team would have been better off with her going off (WD) than Mason (GD) going off, and told the umpire that it wasn’t her and then the Umpires sent off Mason (GD).
Great first half from both teams but magic faded hugely in the second half. Felt for Mason, she seemed quite upset to not go on for the rest of the game following her suspension
I could not see for the life of me what was wrong with Mason’s challenge.
For a moving circle, there needs to be both a gun C and WA. The Magic are lacking these. However, it was a great defensive spectacle for the first half.
Magic are missing that specialist C. One who can run all day, but at speed too. Their two ends are exciting to watch, even the wings are doing great stuff. The C position seems inconsistent for me.
