#DragonsvMavs #counterfactual if no supershot was in play, funnily enough ended with the same goal difference overall ๐Ÿ˜…
Q1: 13-12 (SS1-1)
Q2: 12-12 (SS 2-1)
Q3: 13-18 (SS 4-2)
Q4: 9-16 (SS 2-3)
47-58 (SS 9-7)

Dragons took more SS but damage was done in Q3 10m.

We're looking to move next year, so Panthers may end up being my local team!
I might have a gap year like @kellywalker.bsky.social did๐Ÿ˜…

Who is the petition directed to? Clare Nelson, or more generic?

I opened this one to see what the consensus was... seems generally calmer. Intrigued to know why you think it's more exciting to have super shot?

My hope is more teams use it like Tbirds used it in Grand Final... 0 attempts!

Think mine would be:
Nweke
Housby
Watson
Gordon
Wilson
Aryang
SSH

Bench: Tchine, Pearson, JLP, Fadoju, Jackson

Not sure how Housby-Watson combo would work though, given both such playmakers.

It's a fundamental change to the game when I don't think that was the change that was needed...
Changes already made to team number and size.
Could've made changes to format/quality/rounds/etc.
Are they trying to say netball needs super shot to be exciting?

06.12.2024 23:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 1    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The problem with the surveys like this is that it's leading and not asking for the same level of change...
SS: changes the game
Finals: home advantage vs not
Fewer teams: loss of personal club
Increase teams: finances
Rounds of fixtures: home advantage, logistics & finances

๐Ÿ’ญBBC2 coverage needs improvement (talking over ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒanthem, stuttered transitions & time not aligned w/ umpires)
Very messy start; fatigue?
๐ŸŒนdefensive end is solidifying well & Pearson๐Ÿฅณ
๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ฒcan't take off S.Beckford and needed to give Wilson more time in GD, not just a couple of minutes in 2qtrs
Exciting๐Ÿคฉ

Umpire indicating time to be held at 20s before end of Q4, during game 1 of England vs Jamaica Horizon series

Umpire indicating time to be held at 20s before end of Q4, during game 1 of England vs Jamaica Horizon series

Umpire restarted time again 8 seconds later, but broadcast time was not stopped and it shows 12 seconds left of the first game between England and Jamaica during the Horizon series

I understand why it's frustrating for fans in the arena, if the time being shown is same as broadcast... but she did call for time to be held (I was wrong, it was at 20s), so there was plenty of time for RAG to keep missing

Kersten & Chapman make a good pairing

The umpire called time around 13s, but on broadcast, time carried on... did it get held at the arena?
