Tippah Dwan is looking great, her combo with Wallam is building nicely, shots are landing from everywhere. I’m sad she left Tbirds but I think this is a great move for her career.
Firebirds lead 19-16 after an entertaining first Q. The stats so far suggest it could have even been a bigger margin. Firebirds lead the gains 5-1, Swifts have had 5 turnovers to Firebirds’ 2 and the penalties are 18-11 against Swifts.
After Swifts took the lead, Firebirds dug deep and went on a 9-3 run in the second half of the 2nd Q. Lara Dunkley just carrying on from where she left off last week. She has 13 assists and no turnovers so far.
Firebirds defence is absolutely suffocating. I know I am just saying this because the Swifts are behind but that male commentator is giving me the sh#ts. All credit to the Firebirds they are hungrier today.
Dwans and firebirds as a whole feeds have improved a lot last season I feel like wallam had to do everything to pull them in but they’re putting it in the right spot now and she isn’t having to strain as much to get them
A Tippah Dwan super shot right on 3/4 time takes the lead out to 8. Remi Kamo is having an outstanding game so far. In fact, the whole Firebirds’ defence is. The tally is 14 gains to 6 so far and Kamo has 7 of the 14.
Feel there’s a big turnaround in momentum here. Swifts are scoring very easily off their centre passes, while Firebirds are suddenly finding it very difficult to score. A couple of poor Firebirds errors and Swifts are right back in this now.
