@jessbee1999 She played every minute of last season including 3 finals and hasn't missed a second so far this season. For someone who is injured all the time she's hiding it bloody well.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jessbee1999 If Lightning had Bruce Ervin and Watson out and lost it would have been Lightning only lost because 1/3 of their team was out. But Vixens lose Ellis Mannix and Mundy and it was a poor performance. Their season has ended. Lightning have figured them out etc etc.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@tehecaed Hannah Mundy. Came into Vixens in 2021 to replace Liz Watson. Has been Starting 7 for the majority of the matches since Watson left. Is a current Diamonds squad mmembercand debutant.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jessbee1999 It could be that last year she stepped up to replace Shamera. This year she gets to work with her. The same thing happened when Kate Moloney was playing with Liz Watson. She was good but had to step up when Liz left Vixens.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@coastalchic35 @sophiegarbinfan Total goals scored means nothing. On your theory Nelly should be in over Garbin. Soph and Kip share the load for undefeated Vixens so how do you compare Soph with Nelly?

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@sophiegarbinfan Only one I'd change would be Hadley. She won't be match fit by the time the team is selected and too bigger gamble for such a big tournament. ATN or Mundy most likely mid reserve. Kate Eddy could also be a wild card reserve. Connections with Jo, Kate M, Liz and Kip.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@___amcc The fact that you see her work rate as elite is also hilarious. She got smashed by a young up and coming player who is not even a full time WA. That shouldn't happen to elite International netballers.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jessbee1999 No way. Liz is doing a mountain of work for Lightning but she can't do it all on her own. In Diamonds land she has the support and she shines.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@Watto29 Same as Jamaica series with a question mark on Klau.
Combos were seamless in transition with so much versatility which gives options of resting players throughout the tournament. Keeping them less tired for finals will be a huge benefit.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jessbee1999 @karenleavold Same thing was said about Liz Watson when Kim Rav, Kim Green and Madi Browne were still playing.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@karenleavold @jessbee1999 Definitely given she's already debuted for Diamonds. Her and Georgie could be captains by then. They'd be a good age and hopefully we'll experienced by then.
I also think Grace Whyte and Kayla Graham too. Charlotte Saxton was also awesome in u22WC.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@heyycourtt Why does everyone say Vixens don't have a plan B? Vixens have 3 players covering each position with WD having 4 players. Last season Mannix was out for the season and Hannah was out for about 6 weeks where Zara took that position seamlessly. The Vixens are premiers for a reason.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jessbee1999 They maybe contracted with their SSN clubs for preseason from Nov/Dec.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@AussieDiamonds Definitely dreams to have these two in the one side. Both never say die, leave everything on court and are super fit.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@KimHooper90 SA changed their GA whilst Weston was her direct opponent. Weston takes players out of the game. She's never been a flashy stat's winner. She's known as a serial pest for a very good reason. She shouldn't be under estimated. Flashy and stat's don't always tell the story.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@Dzu_nani SA changed their GA because of the work Jo was doing. Jo has never been big on Stat's but she takes players out of the game, forcing teams to force the ball making it easier for GK to intercept. It's why they call her a serial pest.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@rosieposiexo__ Weston doesn't win a lot of ball in stat's terms. What she does is take players out of the game. Remember SA changed their GA because Jo was slowing her from entering the circle.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@carlymiaeakin I was wondering the same thing especially as the assistant coach is off on Diamonds duties

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@jeremypeterrich We don't need less imports just more teams to include more of our Aussie youth.

[sarah chamberlain @ChamberlainSc]

@unicorndreamsz I agree. Netball needs stability to form the best team not mid season changes that will ultimately disrupt a team. More Teams and a strong reserves league with a trophy is required.
