The netball supporting public. Or netball in general

Netball have some huge decisions to make, long gone are the days of Netball being the main path of girls aspiring to represent NZ, more so with the success of our womens rugby and also this games, the Hockey, without going into the individual stuff too
-
They could learn a thing or 2 from the men’s 7s
After failing at Rio and with struggles since they found a way to focus on these games and found a way to win.
All netball has done is lurch from one humiliation to another. -

And cricket as well with NZ women playing in the Aussie women's T20 league and having another genuine pro sport option.

That's an awesome outcome IMO.
Three gold medals, a silver and two bronzes.
Realistically, we should have expected two silvers, five bronzes.

@chris-b Before the games started I had pencilled in:
Bball (M) - Silver
Bball (W) - Bronze/4th
7s (M) - Bronze/4th
7s (W) - Silver
Netball - Bronze
Hockey (M) - Gold/Silver
Hockey (W) - not in contention -

@act-crusader Why not Women's Hockey? I would have penciled them in slightly behind Women's Sevens as a good Silver chance and near definite bronze.
@chris-b ordinarily I would expect us to do well but after OZ beat us in the Oceania Cup last year I had this feeling we would crash out in the pool stages being pooled with OZ and being done by another side in an upset.
Awesome result in the end and a most emphatic gold medal performance.

@act-crusader You'll be even more rapt than me!
I had a sort of hunch that they'd do OK - was pretty pessimistic they'd win that final though. A real statement. They dominated most of it.

Soccer too, with plenty of chances for scholarships overseas. Woman's sport has come a long way, young girls have genuine options to persue now which is great to see.
Netball's future in NZ doesn't look that rosy in terms of being a superpower on the world stage. Our tiny population and the rise of other sports is really reducing their share of the market. The amatuer jobs for mates culture etc has to go and pronto or they won't compete.

Depsite my cynical comments at the start of the games, and ignoring the shortcomings of TVNZ, these games have been lots of fun. Being more in our timezone helps, but I've enjoyed it far more than previous games - long live the CGs

We've got to join together, let our laughter fill the air. Time for every race and creed to throw away their every care. Let sport unite us all as one in the spirit of the Lord above and let us all remember the games are for the fostering of peace and love.
