Super Netball Round Seven wrap up

Super Netball round seven came and went with both the Swifts and Vixens even the ledger against the Lightning and Thunderbirds respectively for the season.

How are we already at round seven of the Suncorp Super Netball Season? Time sure flies when there’s eight games of netball a week. The compressed season feels very much like a whirlwind, we barely have time to catch our breath and we’re onto the next round. But we have live women’s sport happening and whirlwind or not, we are loving it!

It’s a tough year to be a magpies fan #SSNFeverMagpies

Jhaniele doesn’t get nearly enough credit for making poor passes look amazing – she’s an incredible athlete and her handling skills are exceptional. It’s easy to point and say “wowee, she’s tall!”. Yep, she’s tall, but watch how she positions (and repositions) herself.

Like too many lately, this was a game for the Magpies to forget. Genuinely so flat after that one #SSNFeverMagpies

The flow with CBass and Harten in goals & Austin at WA is something to behold. Reckon this is their best front line #SSNGiantsFirebirds

All credit to CBass during that interview. She gets a rough time of it from Twitter and Facebook and just sucks it up and delivers with such class and dignity @GIANTS_Netball @SuperNetball

Cara Koenan is executing the baseline roll so effectively. Haven’t seen it done so textbook since Kristen Heinrich. #SSNSwiftsLightning

— Michael Hutchinson (@xLurch) August 26, 2020

What a bloody game of #netball they don’t come much better than that. Speed, sharp movements, strong to ball, and passes that defy logic. #SSNSwiftsLightning

— CowboyKate (@KateKatecornish) August 26, 2020

Maybe (definitely) said “yes Sam Wallace” aloud to myself more than once during the second half. #SSNSwiftsLightning

Shooting is the least exciting thing in the game, it's what the defenders do that's gold. #SSNThunderbirdsVixens

Mannix finishes with 8 intercepts, 10 deflections, 2 rebounds and just two obstructions. Match winner in anyone's book. #SSNThunderbirdsVixens
