@KiwiMurph said in Netball:
That was a heck of a performance. Absolutely destroyed Aus on their own court.
Total team performance, Nweke and Drury are taller and stronger than their opponents, and the whole team played awesome. They must keep Grace, she is a must keep if we want to continue to win

Great win.
The commentary is dire. Aussie down 12 late in the 3rd quarter and yet the Aussie commentator thought some issue with the opening centre was monumental - “a turning point”. Far out.
Love seeing our girls use their speed in the front two thirds.

very impressive
not an expert . . but i think we've changed our style a bit
for years the aussies have played fast and we couldn't go with them (bit like what the ABs used to do to everyone)
we were big, but too slow
now we're big and fast!
took the aussies on at their own game . . . and even stepped it up a bit!
aussies don't seem to have any answers
soooo good to watch an aussie team when the can't figure it out -
Now that NZ Netball have enacted the "Ngweke Rule", lots of our top players will join the Australian comp too. It weakens the domestic comp, but must be a positive for the strength of the Silver Ferns, with many of their best playing in a tougher comp against the Aussies.
Looking back, it seems the Aussies only offered us one Kiwi franchise in a revamped comp, and that's why we left
It wouldn't be a bad thing to have that team in the Aussie comp now, and keep our own comp running too

I follow the aussie netball league.
It's a quality sports league. NZ should want to be a part of it.
They just need suck up their pride; talk finances and sell themselves as an economic market (not a netball merket).
The NZ economy is about the same size as Vic and Qld, and they have two teams.
NSW also has 2 teams (NSW economy is a little larger)
That is obviously how the Aussies planned it.
When they revamped the league, Netball NZ should have been able to get two teams in to it, but not three.
In a marketing sense that wouldn't add up.WA is also about the same size economy as NZ/Vic/Qld, but they only have one team.
The West Coast Fever are a power house sports franchise, and average crowds of 10,000 per game.
