To be fair, it has been decades since 0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.040 I've played outside. I take my hat off. There was wind, 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:53.240 there was battling the elements, and it wasn't just one 0:00:53.280 --> 0:00:55.080 game but two, and one of them was like, wasn't 0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.600 it early in the morning on Saturday?

But we did it. 0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.400 We won and I cannot believe it.

The ain 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.800 Z Premiership sun Corps super Netbulk got under way last weekend. 0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.679 Our very own Grace and Neweki made her Premiership debut 0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:38.360 for the Swifts. Jenny and Adan were fortunate enough to 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.280 catch up with Grace with a quick interview after that 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.320 Round one performance, and we will bring you that chat 0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.800 in today's episode. We'll talk about what's been happening in 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.720 the netball world over the last few months, plus the 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.640 rule changes taking on the a Zed Premiership this year. 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.320 The Inside Needy team will give you a yay or 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:59.760 a nay for the four rule changes that will take place. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.000 But firstly, she really is our golden girl. The Swifts 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.520 came away with the first round one over the Fever 0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:07.880 in the sun Court by whopping eighteen goals. 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:09.720 Here's our amazing. 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.440 Grace inside Nile Grace and Wiki welcome to Inside Nipple 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:18.240 and Wow, what a debut only a few days ago. 0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:22.320 Talk us through the nerves or were no extra nerves 0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:25.080 than what you're used to having stepping out on court. 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.240 There were definitely nerves. They kind of came quite late. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:32.679 I think I didn't really take stock of the fact 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:36.640 that I was making my debut up until maybe like 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.560 a few days up from the game. I've putten a 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.120 whole preseason being like I'm so ready to play, and 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:43.760 I kind of forgot that playing it's going to be 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:45.799 for the first time, which means making a debut and 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:50.760 kind of how I guess, the the spectacle it that is, 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:54.360 and how amazing that kind of first moment. That's first 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.440 moments always are. So it was a bit of a late, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.240 I guess realization. And then it kind of all hit 0:02:59.280 --> 0:03:00.840 me when we got to pro a movement to the 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.160 captain's run. I was looking around and I was like 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.960 talking to Helen about how shit. It's funny because you know, 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.600 you've kind of like performed on quote unquote bigger stages 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.240 in the past, so it feels like, uh, in ways 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.720 like different to be like having this huge moment of 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.040 making an SCN debut, having played in World Cups and. 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:20.240 Calm Games and whatnot. 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.400 But it was definitely like a huge, huge honor and 0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:25.640 a lots of excitement around it, and I think getting 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.839 there was the time. I always find my favorite part 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:32.280 of a netball game is that moment when you have 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.440 to go. You go out to the back and you've 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.080 done the woman, you've done the team talk. It just 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.880 just sat starting seven in a huddle, you know, looking 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.520 everyone eye to eye and like really getting ged up 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.400 for the game. And in that moment, it really all 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.880 hit me that I'm standing here with these six of 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.080 the people who I've just met a couple of months ago, 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.760 when I've just done this huge pre season with them, 0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.840 and I'm wearing this red dresser in Perth, and it 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.360 was like whoa, Like, why am I not in Auckland 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.720 and we're are all my sixteen mates. 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.880 So it was a huge kind of like holy, holy moly, 0:03:59.040 --> 0:04:00.000 this is real right now. 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.000 Well, but it was really profound a lot of big 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.280 sense of pride to be there and experience that and 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.360 gratitude for I guess the people that have helped me 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.440 get there and the journey I've been on from the 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:15.520 day that I basically find to coming and taking court 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:16.880 there for it was really special moment. 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:20.880 So how did the intensity compare would say a test game, 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:23.240 I'd say it was. 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.159 Right up there, And yeah, it wasn't that first kind 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.919 of like ten minute thing on the court where I 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:30.239 was like, oh, yes, this is exactly where I wanted 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.800 to be here. I was yet definitely had to adjust 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:37.640 to the umpiring very quickly, the intensity of the crowd, 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:40.640 the style of the sense that was being put on 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:42.279 me like it was, it was a lot, and so 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.880 it felt in waves quite si mon towards test match 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.400 and just yeah, I guess the pressure in that moment too, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.880 I guess the expectations from people about how I should 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.120 play and what the game should look like, and the 0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:58.200 expectations on the group as well. So there was definitely 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.640 elements of that that resembled what it's like to play tests. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.279 And what's it been like building rapport with someone, you know, 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.559 Helen Halsber used to be, you know, enemies on the court. 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.680 You know, all of a sudden, you guys are playing 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.240 to give out. What's that been, Like. 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:13.080 Yeah, it's been so great. 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.120 It's been so funny as well, actually because I've had 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.719 to talk about it a lot with Helen and like, yeah, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.200 I've always said that I've only ever seen her in 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.000 that international netball space where she is like kind of 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.400 a enigma. But she's got her ponytail slipped back, she's 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.640 got the game face on. You don't mess with her. 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.280 She's like the queen of English Network. So that whole 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.720 I guess character is all that I've known about her 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.200 forgetting to see her as a person, you know, see 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.400 her in the morning with her coffee, her hair's on, Missy, 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:48.839 there's no offense, humor, and just building that rapport as 0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:50.920 individuals before players. 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.640 It's been really really enjoyable. She's a great person. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:54.720 I have a lot of time for her and a 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.880 lot of respect for her and her journey and also 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:00.800 her leadership. So I've really loved being guided by her 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.599 in the attacking unit and being able to I guess 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:06.800 thrown off each other and have our combo naturally come together. 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.160 It was a big win for the Swifts. I mean, 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.720 I think you shot fifty one goals. I mean, did 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.880 you go out there with a target and that was 0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.360 what you were going to shoot. 0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:19.839 I've never gone into a game with the shooting target. 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:22.560 It's not really where my focus life. I'm more so 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.720 just wanting to be available for every ball. And if 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.080 we're getting position, then I know it's my job to 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.200 when people turned down the court, they can see me 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:32.560 and know that I'm there for them. And so if 0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:34.159 the balls that were getting turned over, the balls were 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.800 getting on us I'm bringing down in our CPA were 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.960 successful and so my job was to be available. And 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.080 I guess that's just how the game goes, and you know, 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:43.279 one thing leads to another and you're putting up fifty goals. 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.599 But yeah, that's just I guess. It was great to 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.520 be able to get that much volume through and my 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:51.000 first tests and as a testament to the work of 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.359 my feeders and our descenders getting those turnovers and really 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.960 enabling our unit to play with such success. So really 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.960 enjoy that and I'm very excited to keep going with it. 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:01.520 Which is the numbers out. 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:02.840 Two point shot now as well. 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:04.920 You know it's been introduced here in New Zealand, but 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.120 obviously it's been in the sun court for a while. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.240 You know, does that change your strategy? I mean, you 0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:12.760 still put up fifty one shot, so talk us through that. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:16.800 Yeah, I'm Initially in pre season I was like, I 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.240 don't like this, and you know, it's not my strength 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.520 and it's changes the game. It brings teams to a 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.880 down back in but I can appreciate the appeal for 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.480 the spectators and also the opportunity it gives to keep 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.080 gained close and competitive. So I'm learning to love it 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.360 and embrace it. Also embrace the opportunity to shoot them, 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.880 I think, to give myself license to turn and shoot 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:38.680 those sup of shots. 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:40.720 I know I need to do the work at training 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:41.640 in the. 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:44.120 Weeks to put that volume up, but it's a next 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:46.640 funding prospect to add to my game. And I know 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:48.840 that we have amazing shooters in this group who that 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:50.600 sebread and butter, and so I always want to be 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:52.760 able to get born hand and get them in a 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.240 position to take those shots in the right time. But 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:58.000 also if post came to shove, I'm excited to get 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:01.040 to a point in the season where in those final 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:02.400 moments I can turn and shoot as well. 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:04.520 Well, you looked as though you you got to you 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.000 got a held ball actually in one at one point 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:08.920 Grace when you were you sort of did a bit 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:10.960 of a twirl and you were obviously looking for Helen 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:15.080 and she wasn't there, and you know, Fever did a 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.800 good job on her. But were you going to shoot 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:18.320 a two pointer? 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.720 Then well that's the thing. 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.000 So I know that exact one because we had quite 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.640 a few laughs about it, and I yeah, I think 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.320 it was an element of getting the cob without and 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.280 just understanding what how much pressure I guess you start 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.240 to feel in those moments and it's a lot of 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.400 that decision making under pressure that I'm learning on the job. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.880 But yeah, I had ball in hand and I thought, 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:40.640 oh yeah, I'll get I was under the post. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.360 I wanted to get Helen in turbing position and she 0:08:43.520 --> 0:08:45.600 was covered. In my head, I only have eyes to Helen. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:47.520 But the learning there for me is that I had 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.720 my feet of on either side of me who I 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.160 could ideally reset to. And a lot of the time 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.240 where our game plan is to play more than one 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:58.120 point game and if we land in the two. 0:08:58.000 --> 0:08:59.360 Zone, naturally we'll go to post. 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.120 We're not going to force it and we know that 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:03.640 we don't need to rely on the two points to 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:05.400 stay in the game, will stay competitive. 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:08.719 So I keep reminding myself that it just has to 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:09.400 feel natural. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:12.600 But I do also want to give myself opportunity to 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.880 shoot those But again, like I'm not going to force it. 0:09:15.920 --> 0:09:17.960 If I land within my range, which is typically under 0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.120 the post, I alternating shoot. If I happen to be 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.120 in a setup where I can go to the post 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:24.520 from range, I also want to be able to do that. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:26.959 You look to be just glowing. It sounds like you're 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.760 having a phenomenal time over there. You're loving it. I mean, 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.160 your davy couldn't have gone any better, I imagine, But 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:36.800 there must still be that little connection still to home, 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.520 you know, are you still speaking with the Silver Fin coaches? 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:41.200 Where are you at with that or if you just 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.040 put that all to one side at the moment. 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:50.200 Yeah, yeah, definitely enjoying my time here, definitely. I'm really 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.839 grateful for the opportunity, and I think I think I'm 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:57.000 in the best place that I have been so far 0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.800 at the moment, and it hasn't come easy. So I 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.520 think I think what people can see and what's been 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.360 shared as a lot of the highs and the positives 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.240 and the enjoyment of being here in Sydney. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:07.840 But there have been some really hard days and some 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.280 challenging moments. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.080 That I've had to come overcome, and I'm sure there'll 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:13.680 be more down the track, but I guess that's the 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.120 beauty of, you know, getting out of your comfort zone 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:17.000 and challenging yourself. 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.080 So you're really enjoying my time here and decision. 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.800 And yeah, I would. It's not lost on me that 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.439 gets the implications of it. And I think right now 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.920 my focus is solely on the season. I've made my 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.200 bed as such, and so I'm choosing to enjoy the 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:38.440 sleep and just really have fund the season, learn lots, 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.000 soak it all in and I guess obviously the future 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:46.160 and the the whatever the international season looks like this 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.559 year does fit wear my mind a bit, but it's 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.319 a lot of it's out of my control, I think 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.959 consons in the sense that it's still part of the 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.119 leadership group with friends. There's lots of planning and discussions 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:01.520 that happened throughout the year that I'm very grateful to 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.760 still be included in. And that's still a team in 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.280 the space that a lot of my heart is with 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.760 so to still be able to contribute to that space 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.440 off the court is really important to me, So I'm 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:14.440 grateful to still be involved in that and whether my 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:18.800 contributions can become more physical later in the year. I'm 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.920 still hopeful, hopeful, maybe I don't know if it's a 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:25.079 pipe dream, but that I'll be able to suit up 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:29.040 for the season. But really my focus is on having 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:33.000 success here in Sydney and being able to hopefully make 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:36.280 more of an informed decision about my future when the 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:36.880 time comes. 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:38.800 So are you saying grace that there might be a 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:40.640 little bit of a chance that we might see you 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.040 in the black dress later in the year. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.600 We've all got our fingers and toes crossed by the way. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:49.240 Yeah, I'm very much a believer of like you, kind 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.200 of like what you put out there and what you manifest, 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:55.480 I guess is what will come to fruition. So I'm 0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.400 still holding out hope in my end. I've had no 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.560 concrete colm or anything to give me more hope than 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.240 I had two months ago, but the hope remains and 0:12:06.320 --> 0:12:09.560 it's an exciting prospect with I guess the space room 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.560 right now and how the form that I'm finding at 0:12:12.600 --> 0:12:14.440 the moment and also what the girls will be able 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.280 to do when they a died this year, So it's 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:18.880 a team that I always want to be a part of. 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.400 And so yeah, just helping fingers crossed like the rest 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.079 of you guys, and just seeing what happens. 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:29.560 How much are you loving Sydney and the weather I beat? Yeah, 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:33.600 it's quite nice. Been slightly warmer than what we've got 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:34.040 here now. 0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:39.040 Yeah, it's been so great. It's been lovely. 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.120 It's almost been quite similar to Awkland like in terms 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:44.679 of it being quite humid and kind of different all 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.079 four seasons in one day, but across the boarder where 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.720 there has been lovely hair and we had a great 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.200 summer and still get some really beautiful days. That we 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.320 landed from Perth on Useterday and the sun was shining, 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:55.920 so we all just had to go to the beach 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.560 after from there before we had the day off, and 0:12:57.600 --> 0:12:59.800 it's just stuff like that. To be fair, you can 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.160 do it Awklin if you wanted to. But there's such 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.920 good spots all of Sydney, so I really enjoyed getting 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.760 out and about and being a bit a bit of tourist. 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.240 So this is your first time living away from home, 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:12.000 isn't it I think? So you know, what are the 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:13.240 living arrangements? 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.560 Yeah, for my first time living on of Auckland, I 0:13:15.600 --> 0:13:17.800 was actually lived. I was slanting in Auckland for the 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:20.440 past three years. But yeah, first time being I guess 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.400 having a full ocean of separation between my friends and family. 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.960 So at the moment living with Shannie, one of the 0:13:28.000 --> 0:13:29.959 other girls in the team. She's from Melbourne, so we're 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.679 both new to the state, so it's a nice to 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:34.520 kind of lean on each other and that sense of 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.840 homesickness and kind of being out. 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:37.520 Of routine and way. 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:41.440 So we live together and not too far from training, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.640 like a ten minute drive, so it's just nice because 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.920 obviously Sydney is so big and the road's is so crazy, 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.240 so to have a bit of familiarity and get a 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:51.160 labor land has been quite good. And yeah, just really 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.800 enjoying the dynamic, getting to know her better and getting 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:57.640 to enjoy all the girls in the team, and I 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.640 guess building those relationships and finning time enjoying an amazing 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:04.319 city to live in. So it's been really great and 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.280 I feel very lucky that of all the places to 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:07.800 end up, I got to be in Sydney. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:09.680 Who drives? 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:11.839 I do?

But I think it's done 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.079 some great character building. Like I said, they want to 0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:19.480 come here and grow as a person, and I think 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.000 I'm growing in my driving fields as well, so I 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.040 can't complain about that. 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.640 Yeah, have you got You've got the Aussie lingo?
