Aaand we have our first suspension in SSN! Unsurprisingly itβs JLP.
Wow. We have a 2 minute suspension against Jamie-Lee Price for dangerous play!
Swifts were already dominating before that. They lead 10-5.
I’m not sure I agree with the suspension call. She looked like she was trying to protect herself once she realised the other player was coming. Anyone else want to weigh in?
1/4 time: Swifts 20-17
Great game so far. Lots of end to end action. What a frenetic first Q and what about the crowd. Giants will be very pleased to be within 3 despite having Price sent off for 2 mins and committing 9 turnovers in that Q. Hadley brilliant.
It did look like tunnelling, though as a result of trying to protect herself in the action sheβd committed to, not intentional contact. Just happened that Smith was caught on the way through.
Grace Whyte on for Lili Gorman-Brown to start the second Q. Swifts 21-18.
Yeah, she moved into Smith’s landing space. It was certainly dangerous under the rules.
Gorman-Brown back on. A good start to this second Q from Giants as they cut the lead to 1.
Matilda McDonell needs to just let the ball bounce out. Is she getting greedy with wanting the pickups next to her name?
Giants canβt rebound to save their lives.
1/2 time: Swifts 38-30
No matter how hard they tried, Giants couldn’t get a rebound in the Swifts circle in the Power 5 and Swifts punished them. You can’t afford to give good shooters multiple attempts at the super shot. Paige Hadley continuing to dominate.
Wallace-Joseph playing better this week. Hadley having a blinder.
Still think Swifts defence looks a bit out of form this season.
I think the Swifts defence end is missing the speed of Fraser as she played WD a lot last season.
3/4 time: Swifts 54-41
What an incredible passage of play before 3/4 time, with the ball bouncing around and desperate players falling over each other trying to grab it. In the end, Swifts got possession. And that’s a good reflection of how this game has gone!
