I feel a little as though mom 0:00:11.960 --> 0:00:14.560 and dad have gone away, leaving the little ones in charge. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:18.680 But don't worry. Adeen is in christ Church with her 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:24.160 basketballing sons and Anna is in Balley soaking up the sun. 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.920 I'm sure it's a lot warmer there. So I have 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:30.960 been left with the superstar sub Evonne Willering, and we 0:00:31.040 --> 0:00:32.320 are in control, aren't we. 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:37.280 We can do this The Inside Netball Podcast right o. 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.159 Well, we kind of noticed the twenty one year old 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:43.000 last year, but we could hardly miss her this year. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:46.440 Second year of a full contract with the Mystics. Catherine Hall, 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.960 Welcome to the show. What a season you're having. What's 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:51.640 behind it? 0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:53.160 Hi? 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.720 Thanks for having me. Honestly, I don't know. I think 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.400 I'm just enjoying being able to get out there and 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.120 with all the game time I'm getting, I feel. 0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:03.200 Like I'm learning a lot. 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.520 So honestly, I think each week it's just a matter 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:09.759 of putting into practice and things have learned the week before. 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.160 Yeah, I think it helps the team. 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:20.640 I'm in great group of girls around me, so honestly, yeah. 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.920 Yeah, is it all situation? Last year? 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.400 I mean, there are a lot of in circle defenders 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.600 in the Mystics, and you also had Caristithe there as well, 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.440 Whereas now you have a look at it, you are 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.080 as long as you're playing well, you're always going to 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.920 be guaranteed starting position. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:37.479 Do you think that's made a difference to your game. 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.800 I mean people say you can learn a lot from 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:42.280 the side, you know, sitting on the sideline. Personally, I 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.640 think it's about playing out on court. How are you 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:49.400 feeling about that, being now obviously responsible in that defensive circle. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:52.200 Yeah, I think you're totally right. 0:01:52.240 --> 0:01:54.000 I think being able to actually go out there and 0:01:54.080 --> 0:01:58.200 play allows me to learn a lot quicker. But in 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.080 saying that, I did learn heaps last year as well. 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:05.440 I had Caris and Phoenix who taught me so much. Yeah, 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:09.040 and I think even this year, I like as Charlotte 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.480 and our team as well. She's a great keeper, So 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:14.120 I definitely don't feel safe in my position, which I 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.000 think is cool as well because it keeps me pushing 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:18.840 myself to keep trying to get better each week. 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:23.280 So interesting game this week coming up, because obviously you're 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:27.400 up against Kara stythe who not you yourself in the circle. 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.400 But she's gone to the Steel and that's been a 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.760 good move. She moving south has been good for both 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:33.560 of your games, hasn't it. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.960 Yeah, definitely. Caris is one of my good friends. I've 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.040 been keeping in touch with her, which is really nice. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.520 But she seems to be really enjoying it and she's 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:42.680 really thriving down there. 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.520 Yeah, I don't know what it is, but she's must 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:47.359 be the Southern Ear. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.200 But she's been playing amazing, so it's really cool to 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.280 see her doing really well as well. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.760 She's in a very similar position that you're in, and 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.280 that she is also very dominant within that defensive circle, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.760 whereas again she also wasn't as dominant when she was 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.000 in the Mystics last year, and I've said it was 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:06.560 a good move for her. And also, I mean, obviously 0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.679 what I love about your game is the fact you've 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.440 stepped up now. Is Rob right the defensive coach? Or 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.359 is it also with Tear. 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:16.640 They take turns. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.079 For the first half of the season, we had Rob 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:22.240 with us, and now we've got Tear with us. I 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.639 think they like to sort of switch it up a bit, 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:29.040 but they're both very good. I want to say, I 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:30.440 don't mind who it is each week. 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.600 Yes, I've had a bit to do with Rob over time, 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:35.640 and obviously from Australia. 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.000 Won't take that against them. 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.440 But you know, he's very much he was initially very 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.000 much a one on one defender. You know who's interested 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:45.680 in just that one on one marking. Yet I look 0:03:45.720 --> 0:03:49.320 at your game and yes, sometimes you are reasonably tied on, 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:52.720 although I often hear him saying comments saying get off 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.119 the body, get off the body. But I think your 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:58.840 greatest success is actually space marking more and looking for 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.960 the intercepts. How have you found how How do you 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.560 think you are playing at the moment. Is it a 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.920 combination or what are you doing there? 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:09.640 Yeah? I think it is a combination. 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.640 I think Robs come in and both him and Tea 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.920 are sort of trying to create this new style of 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.480 defense and mystics, which I think they've been working on 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.440 for a few years, and it is it's a combination 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.760 of being able to control our own player but also 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.160 have a look at what else is happening around us. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.760 So I'd like to say my goal is to be 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.200 a defender that can do both and can win ball 0:04:32.440 --> 0:04:33.080 both ways. 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.280 Yeah, you had some time out of gold defense the 0:04:36.320 --> 0:04:38.960 other night as well. Which do you prefer. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.360 Well, all, for a school, I was a gold defense, 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.680 but then coming into mystics, I've mainly only played goalkeep, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.679 so I'm still a bit fresh with gold offense. 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.559 At this level, I do enjoy them both. 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.040 I'd say at the moment, I'm feeling more comfortable in goalkeeper, 0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.520 but I definitely want to keep expanding that I am 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:01.760 a person that can play both. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:02.160 Yeah. 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.080 Yeah, and I think you need to. 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:09.760 I'm looking obviously further ahead for you for other situations, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.240 and yeah, if you have two positions and you sh 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.159 you'll always be able to play one better than the other. 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:19.040 But two positions, Yeah, generally teens for higher honors is 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:23.039 what's required. And if Harvest please see you come out 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.080 at goal offense. Do you find as goalkeeper you have 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:29.360 more time to cite the intercepts than you would as 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.159 a goal offense. 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:31.880 Yeah, definitely. 0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.240 I think as a goalkeep one of the lucturies of 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.720 the position as you can sort of see everything. You've 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.880 got that spot at the back of the court to 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.680 sort of see things coming, which helps a lot gold offense. 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:45.320 It's I think it's a bit more. You're sort of 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:50.520 constantly doing something, so you're sort of as different and 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.839 as you say, there is less time to see things happening. 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.280 But I think you can create ball in different ways, 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.040 which is probably what I'm still learning how to do. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:00.760 Now, let's get away from the net or court. What 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.239 do you do when you're not playing netball? 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.640 So I'm at Uni, I'm studying medicine. Well, I'm actually 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.320 I've deferred this year and I'm doing a honors research project. 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.000 But it's all part of a medical degree. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.960 What is it with goalkeepers and doctors? Because isn't Laura 0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.960 Balma the she's doing medicine too. Isn't she one of 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:24.960 the pulse players? But now tell me about your especially 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.880 you're doing an interesting research paper. It's all to do 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:28.840 with ankles, isn't it. 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:33.520 Yes, Well that was initially the plan and it probably 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.279 will get to that, but I've sort of started. My 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.200 supervisor is great. He's sort of letting it be whatever 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.560 I'm interested in. So I started by doing a literature 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:47.679 review on netball injuries actually, and then I guess because 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.520 ankles are so commonly injured in netball. That's where we're 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.960 probably hitting with the more of a biomechanical focus into 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.479 some research because that's his sort of specialty area. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:00.120 So yeah, I think it'll get to that. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.479 Oh good on you now and your research. Are you 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:05.920 able just to do that in any spare time or 0:07:05.920 --> 0:07:07.800 do you have set times that you have to do that? 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:09.280 Is that why you now? 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:10.120 Yeah? 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.120 Are you now not doing the medical part because it's 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:13.960 a time factor. 0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:16.160 Yeah, it's time. 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.320 Last year I did my third year of medicine full 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.000 time with netball, and so I was busy, but I 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:24.640 managed to do it all. This year, i'd be going 0:07:24.680 --> 0:07:27.680 into placements of full time in the hospitals, so that 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.160 becomes track at a balance with netball. So yeah, with 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.160 the honors, I can I've got no where I need 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.040 to be at certain times, so I can just spit 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:36.880 it in around network. 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:38.000 So it's really flexible. 0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:42.040 Well, you're certainly playing beautifully and I heard was it 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:44.280 Kruz Tangira sort of saying that he thought that you 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.840 might be heading for higher honors in the commentary, So 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:50.280 you know, let's see if you can fulfill your potential. 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.800 But before you go, we sort of finish up every 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.720 chat with what we call a fast five. So these 0:07:57.720 --> 0:07:59.960 are just five questions, don't think too hard about it. 0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:04.880 Why inside Netball's fast five? 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.840 What's your go to post game snack or meal? 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.920 Oh, I'd say a burger, a nice face burger, or 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.040 with sauce or something. 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:17.920 Yeah, you gotta have sauce. 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.560 If you could compete in any other sport apart from network, 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:26.560 what would it be and why volleyball? 0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.160 I always played volleyball as well as netball throughout school, 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:30.080 and I really enjoyed it. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:32.400 My sister's a keen volleyballer as. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.520 Well, so oh well, yeah, it might be in the genes. Now, 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:39.000 who in your team is most likely to get you 0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.320 into trouble and most likely to get you out of trouble. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.280 Oh that's a good question. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.040 Honestly, I feel like a lot of them could get 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:51.960 me into trouble.

Now let's go back, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.960 because that first game of round seven, it was the 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.880 Steel versus the Magic. There was a lot of hype 0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.880 about this game because it was down and Invericargo and 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.600 the Magic. Well, both teams needed to win it, really 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:54.040 and one team severely underperformed. 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.559 Yeah, it was an interesting clash and you're in situation. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:59.720 Still had to win it in order to stay and 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.840 cons for that third spot. Magic had to win it 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.640 because it's time that they started putting a winning performance 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.280 out on court. And again, you look at the game, 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.480 I thought it be a lot closer. It did end 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:15.120 up reasonably close, but that's only because Magic started to 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:18.160 shoot some two pointers and that makes it difference. And 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:20.840 it's been a few games like that actually, So yeah, 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:24.120 sixty five to fifty six, Yeah, I expect it closer. 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:28.240 Encounter again done very dominant for the steal. She got 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.840 forty four out of forty six. And it's interesting you 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.120 look at it and you go, yeah, they're all close shots, 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:36.680 and yes they're all from the baseline, and I'm going, so, 0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:40.800 why defensively hasn't anyone done anything about that? And that's 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:43.040 just skillful play on her part. She has a bit 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.880 of movement to the game, but it's you have a 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.760 look at the spots where she shoots from and it's 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:48.520 always that baseline. 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.520 So still had ten more attempts. 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:53.200 So you look at the game and as the game progressed, 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.120 I thought they deserved to win that game. 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:56.760 Yeah, I think they did too. And I love the 0:11:56.800 --> 0:12:01.200 way that Aliadne looks quite quizzical after each you know, 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:03.560 the camera just capt us here. But I thought the 0:12:03.600 --> 0:12:06.959 Magic had their moments. But there was an example where 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.960 they really let them get away. Was in the last 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.599 three minutes of the first half. Now, Savior two E 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.439 shot a two pointer, so that brought the Magic up 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:21.360 to within three twenty eight, twenty five, and then they 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.720 didn't score again, and yet the steal piled on another 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.760 five goals, and you know, so something is not quite 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:34.160 right in that Magic set up. I can't offer what 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:34.640 it is. 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.440 And we talk about consistency all the time, you know, 0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:38.800 and you have a look at it from quarter to 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.959 courting and say, oh, yeah, we won the second half. 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.160 You've got to try to win it all for quarters, 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.920 you know, and you're not going to steal they don't really. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.760 Yes, there are times when they have the two point shot. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.679 And Georgia heffern in fact got a two pointer when 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.160 it counted what last week or the week before, and 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:56.520 it was a really critical shot. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:57.440 They won at the head. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.200 Yeah yeah, yeah, but you know they did didn't rely 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.800 on any two points in this game. They were quite 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.920 happy just to tag along and just go one point. 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:08.120 They're send to pass off. 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.960 Whereas Magic in the end they had to rely on 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.840 two point shots. Now, Dewey got five out of nine. Okay, 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:18.640 yes that means ten points, but also it means that 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.600 when what didn't wasn't successful, it either went out of 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:25.400 court or the defense got the ball, which gave Steel 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.160 another opportunity obviously of scoring from that. And Echanacio and 0:13:30.240 --> 0:13:33.440 we keep talking about this, what a wonderful shooters is 0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:37.280 great on the long shots, and she took two and 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:40.440 got none in and I just don't think she has 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.360 been dominant enough to date. And you can say Magics, 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.920 they haven't got a great leader at the moment. 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.160 What does leadership mean? 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.600 And I talk about that, and it's about someone that 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.920 takes charts and says, look at me, I'm doing my bit. 0:13:55.280 --> 0:13:57.080 You follow and do exactly the same. 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.600 And I think magic is found wanting in that aspect 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.240 of game. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.560 I've always thought that Canaca was a good leader, but 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.760 I think she needs a left tenant like on her shoulder, 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.920 and we just haven't, you know, quite seen that. I 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.280 did enjoy though, the signs for Whens for mayor in 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.440 the cloud, and I thought, oh my goodness, she'd be 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:19.600 a good mayor. Too down for you know, in the cargo. Anyway, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:21.560 moving right along, because the next game of the round 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.240 was polse versus Tactics. Now this was deemed as the 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:29.640 big one. Now, whatever illness the Poles had, I think 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.600 they need to hang on to it because they had 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.400 no Farmu Yuani and no Whitney Soonis and so he thought, 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.840 oh golly, you know, they're big time players. But they 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:44.080 didn't miss you know, they didn't miss a beat because 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.360 I think the key for them was moving Maddie Gordon 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:48.120 into wing attack. 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.640 Yeah. But and yes, we can. 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:53.120 Talk about the mid court, but really the player that 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.840 makes a difference to that team, and it was shown 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.120 up in that game was Jackson. When Jackson's on form 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.800 and the back end and she was active from the start, 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.680 got a number of tips and it meant that the tactics, 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.040 they became a bit hesitant and don't forget they start 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:10.360 with Salmon and Bird comes on on the situation. But 0:15:10.480 --> 0:15:13.240 really Jackson was in charge. She was player of the 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.480 game as it ended up, because she was consistent throughout. 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.200 And that's a situation where I was talking about earlier, 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.360 I will do the work everyone else you follow as well, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.600 And that's certainly the way that it was. And they 0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.200 really played as a unit. And again goal shooter was 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.880 a dominant shooter. Warmsley fifty four out of fifty six, 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.920 so very similar to done with the steel And you know, 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.280 you can say, again, no one's countering that. The only 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.000 thing that came through in the media was the pulses. 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:45.280 In a situation you're going all there's concerns over the goal. 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:46.400 Attack and Maturo. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.760 They were quoted it how many goals she would get 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.840 in a game and at the moment it's an average 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.520 of seven goals. Now you can say, well, so what 0:15:55.720 --> 0:15:58.720 when you've got such a dominant shooter and I understand that, 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.440 you know, I mean, why change something if it's working 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.680 well for you And at the moment they're not having 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.680 problems actually passing the ball too Warmsley. She's taking it strong, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.600 stronger than she did last year. But you know it's 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.160 yeah against the Tactics in that team. In that game 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.360 she only scored one goal, and you're going with this, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:18.920 Warmsley goes down. 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:20.280 What are they going to do now? 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.400 This is Matro you're talking yeah, yeah, and you can say, well, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.720 put a malasala on And I thought that, you know, 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.200 they certainly, you know, should do that more often. I 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.040 like her change in play. But having said that, Matul 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.000 feeds Warmsley the best out of the two of them. 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:38.560 Yeah, so then you could you then mount the argument, 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.600 well doesn't matter if she doesn't shoot. I think it 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.760 does myself. But look my pressure on Womsley. A lot 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.320 of pressure and interesting no interesting position for the Pulse 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.840 because they've only there's two rounds to go, the two 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.160 gay teams. They have to play the Stars and the Magic. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:56.680 Now look where they are on the table and you 0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.240 know we anyway, we'll talk about that in a moment. 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:00.000 It's interesting. 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.440 Sorry, but like still would have watched that game and 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.879 they would have really wanted the Tactics to win that 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.480 because they're in the fight against the Pulse. So this 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:12.000 has made it even more interesting in the whole competition. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.639 Ladder, Well, it has and gosh, it's been a funny 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.920 old season, hasn't it. So the last game of the 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:22.720 round was the Stars versus the Mystics. You know, the 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.000 poor old Stars cheap as they've had a tough season. 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.879 Oh and I should mention too before we leave the 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:34.960 Pulse Aleana Pulliata played. I think she played the whole game. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.040 I just have such admiration for her. Three acls. She's 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.760 come back from you know, I just I think that's amazing. 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:46.640 And Pulse, if you have a look at it, you're 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.679 almost saying welcome back. You know, we saw it in 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.640 the first round and we really haven't seen it as 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:56.000 a team as a collective unit until this And I 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:58.439 now look at them and going you're worthy of a 0:17:58.520 --> 0:17:59.760 top three absolutely. 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.520 Anyway, getting back to that Stars Mystics game, Yeah, the Stars, 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:05.439 well they were able to I mean I think what 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:08.080 they were close ish at the end of the first 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:10.760 quarter and then it just got away from them. They 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.960 Mystics were hugely strong in the second half. Danelle Wallain 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.880 was back yep, and she made a big difference. 0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.800 She did because they could just turn and pass the 0:18:20.840 --> 0:18:24.960 ball to it, although Mystics obviously have survived even without her. 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:29.080 But yeah, it was a situation while I'm again for 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.440 forty six dominant shooter in there, although Vouie did come 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.040 through with eight out of eleven and she got two 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:37.440 out of three points shots as well. What I liked 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.120 about that she took them not because they were losing, 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.639 but because they were winning. But you got to appreciate 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:46.400 Mistics is in a situation now that gold differential may 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:48.840 come into it because they're in a fight with Tactics 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:51.679 for that top spot and it may come down to 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:54.879 gold differential. So whilst it was cute to make changes, 0:18:55.320 --> 0:18:57.520 it is also about making sure you get the score. 0:18:57.560 --> 0:18:59.560 And poor Stars were at the end of it. What 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:00.440 was it interesting? 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.680 I thought they I said, put Johnson on you because 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:06.800 she adds experience. She was injured, so another injury to 0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:08.959 the Stars, and I mean, you know they were so 0:19:09.160 --> 0:19:10.959 limited in who they could put it out. 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:11.720 I thought you'd be. 0:19:11.720 --> 0:19:12.960 Waiting for the call up yourself. 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.159 But you're right, they were in it for the first half. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:18.760 And I think that's what's so frustrating for Timmy Parra 0:19:18.840 --> 0:19:22.040 Bailey as the coach, that they just couldn't keep it together. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.160 And once again the word comes to mind, inconsistent. 0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:30.119 Yeah, and we saw again pet Hoop on the goal attack. 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.160 But now, I know you don't like this, do you. 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:35.520 She's a wing attack, you know, and you like they 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.080 can say, oh, yes, but she's tray. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.320
