Anyone watching the Netball?

From what I heard, she went to hospital on Thursday, had bubs (her 5th - still unnamed - she has higher priorities at the moment LOL) within 5 minutes of arriving there and was coaching them at the game on Saturday or Sunday (can't remember which day). It's true dedication!!

The game has just finished. She is pretty amazing to be at the courts so early after having bubs.

Did they win? I only saw the news and the game hadn't finished

Yep they sure do.

Tonights going to be a battle I think. I reckon if Natasha Chokolat is back and playing as well as she was before she got injured then the Vixens will win otherwise its a Thunderbird Magic semi I think!

Anyone else thing that AmyJean Metcalf last night just wasnt playing her best in the last half? She just wasnt letting the ball go at all and she passed that silly across court pass where Kimberly Green intercepted it when Irene was totally open right infront of her! That cost the magic the game if that ball had of gone into Irene I would say that they would have won or at least gone into extra time.

Yep I am VERY passionate about netball!

Thunderbirds did well to claw their way back. Gerard and Von Burto (SP) played out of their skins. Glad McMahon won't be in the final - can't stand watching her scowling face (even though she's a fantastic player).

Hey you - finally someone to share the game with - no-one in my family or friends is interested I'm an armchair player - used to play social indoor and basketball before kids. What about you?

I have to back Magic of course - otherwise there's not going to be a NZ team in the final AND it's pretty much a silver fern side.

Chockolat played really well - wouldn't know she'd been injured. I think Aussie have got some real gritty players to pick for their side.

Where are all the other netball fans??

Yeah it is a shame that the ANZ champs was pretty much just ok sky, because Im sure a lot of other lovers would have LOVED to have watched it on normal tv.

I play 3 nights a week and train once a week - yep I love it! I play indoor twice a week and once a week outdoor Saturday competition - I LOVE it!

Im very lucky, my DH loves the netball too - I think it helped though that this year Kath Harby Willams is on radio sport every day - so he learnt a lot about it from listening to RS everyday. Which I think is wicked! He said last night that hes enjoying it more now too because he knows more of the rules etc. Mum loves it to but nothing like me. Everyones amazed that I can have full conversations with DH about all the names of players whos playing who when when etc - its crazy!

Be interesting to see whos in the NZ side once they name it isnt it, I am dying to know who they have as a GA apart from Maria - I dont think a lot of the GA's have really stepped up this year to say pick me? What do you think? Megan Denn I think thats her name from Steel has really played well - but shes an Australian lol.

Do you think Temepara will be available for the NZ team this year? Be interesting! Liana Barret Chase has said shes not available damn it! Wonder why? I know she has a 5 year old daughter I think and shes only young herself - but still its weird dont you think when she tried to get in last year but missed out!

ETA - Man what a ramble sorry! Once I start I cant stop I netty!
