I love a moving circle. I also love Wood and Koenan on their day. I love that SM gave them a chance to play again and nut out some issues. I love when others get to shine because of good news (pregnancy) rather than injury.
However, what happens with a moving circle, especially against a team using a holding shooter, is that you lose that ability to score QUICKLY. Australia need Garbin (and soon Wallam) to be able to start or enter a game and put those quick goals out, even if just to catch up! We missed that incredibly…. Bassett was never my favourite player (short netballer jealousy right here) but you could make a cup of tea and return to watching a game and she’d have slotted in a few in a row to even things up… Call me ignorant but I didn’t realise Bueta would do that so well as Gs at Comm games. We don’t necessarily need Bueta, and we can’t have her, but we need a quick score. The baseline runnings and circle plus are pretty but too slow at this level when they can ditch it to Nweke from mid court and score in three passes.
