Ima let u finish…. but sending Alyssa Hunter home looking this fly on J LO WEEK is a hate crime. U can’t tell me she didn’t win that lipsync. I’m upset! 😢

I cannot believe Matisse Letherbarrow sat on a cold stool for 60 mins, lived through that post-match shit show as we all just did, the came on court and immediately started popping 2-point shots. Who does that??? 🤯
#GIAvLIG
No offence to my 🇦🇺 twitter faves but I’ll be cheering for the Roses 🌹🏴 in tomorrow’s GF. Would love to see them re-write the history books and build upon the profile of Netball further outside Australia & New Zealand. Plus I love Helen & Geva 😅

Chelsea Pitman has always been such an amazingly skilled and strong attacker, let down in the past by poor pass selection. Not these days. She really adds a much needed ingredient to this Roses team. Thriving.
#NWC2023
Not to be a drama or anything, but watching Funmi Fadoju just now, is the most excited I’ve felt watching netball since Casey Williams in 2005. What an absolute superstar she is. Does she have any New Zealand family links? 🤩
#AUSvENG
The fact Uneeq is eating up in this way only makes me suspicious of the people who decide which players are given opportunities in this league and why this opportunity wasnt granted ~some time ago~… 👀
#VIXvSWI
- Liz Watson best WA to ever play the game
- Maddy Gordon made herself indispensable
- Nweke’s confidence is major and contagious
- Noeline v Stacey battle never misses
- Trans-Tasman rivalry alive & well
SWJ gone, Bec Bulley gone, and I have a massive stye! Today, Thursday the 13th of June 2024, is the very definition of

The “ugly past” you’re referring to was enforced by Europeans and is maintained to this day in this very post. Māori/Pasifika students have a right to safe spaces like this away from people like you.
Last night at the Netball we set next to a Mum and her 12yo son. I said Hi and pre-emptively apologised for being loud. She said get your life and told me about her son who just started playing netball this year and is a huge Shamera Sterling fan.
#THUvSWI
- Koenen/Wallam combo was epic
- Cara best on court, slippery, silky feeds, created space, took the shots 🤌🏼
- The future SA midcourt is bright w/ Nketsa & Chawane 🤩
- Venter played her most consistent series ever. Big tick filling Leni’s shoes ✅
- 💎 depth 😬

@liketheeplanet
Jorgeous looked good head to toe. Angeria or Camden should’ve won. Daya gets an A+ for effort but when you come out with that energy of entitlement looking like Crystal Methyd week after week it’s not endearing.
When the umpires left the building, and the bench officials stared blankly into their laptops, Sophie Dwyer picked up her clipboard and her latex gloves and said “right ladies, we’ll get to the bottom of this…” 👩🏼⚕️🧤🧐🤣😭😭😭

ANPA President Jo Weston was brought to tears speaking about the toll netball's ongoing pay dispute is having on the players, while CEO Kathryn Harby-Williams said some have slept in their cars.

I know it must be hard being an Australian netball fan at the moment, but I hope Diamonds fans feel proud of their team when reading this. This statement says values mean something. The sport’s administrators should take note of this.
#NetballChaos
Ameliaranne Ekenasio once again playing beautiful netball in the Black dress. I shudder to think what our game would look like without her out there.
#ConstellationCup
Feeling a lot of feelings about that game. Very disappointed there were no changes made. I know we lost a huge weapon when Grace went down, but that isn’t an excuse for this performance. So many rocks left unturned. Full credit to England for earning the win.
#NWC2023
In 10 seconds Paige Hadley gets early zero phase depth, loses Moloney and drives hard up the middle of the centre third to receive the ball, turns and sights Romelda in the circle and releases the ball. QUEEN! 👸🏽
#netballchaos
Most of Netball Twitter: “WTF is going ON???!! 🤯”
Some of Netball Twitter: “Oh thank goddd, Ive been holding this shit in privately for so long!”
Abongile: “Dear Old Nicki…”
Scottish Suz: “Love you Gary!”
🫶🏼❤️💋
#netballchaos
First thought devastating news for everyone involved in the netball team/programme.
Second thought, did Collingwood use the netball team to exploit govt funding for female sport to benefit the club? (A question not an accusation)..
If the Diamonds team suffers from performance issues at the NWC - and that’s a big if - questions must be asked about the impact of both the SSN and NA contracting fuckery and uncertainty in the lead up to the tournament.
#NetballChaos
Romelda is the mother I never had, she is the sister everybody would want. She is the friend that everybody deserves. I don't know a better person.
#THUvVIX
It shouldn’t be possible but Shamera Sterling-Humphrey is absolutely a better player this year than last year. Eat dust to all shooters in this league.
#THUvGIA
Sad for my country of course, but honestly sooooo excited for Jamaica!!! 🇯🇲🖤💚💛 And especially for Shamera 🤣🤣🤣Is there anyone more deserving of a bit of joy & success?
#B2022Netball
I can accept the news of Grace’s injury
I can accept the news of Lenize’s injury
I cannot accept the news of Lefebre being overlooked as Lenize’s replacement 🕯️😞
Norma are you OK hun?
#NWC2023
I know it hurts to get disappointing results at major tournaments, but I love the soul searching and questions from English fans. Top 4 finish and a loss to NZ used to be acceptable for England 7-10 years ago - clearly no longer!
#NetballChaos
That 2nd quarter by Nicholé Taljaard… I don’t think I’ve ever been that impressed by a Goal Attack since Sharelle McMahon. She really grabbed this game by the scruff of the neck. Speechless!
#NWC2023
I feel sad. I only became a Swifts fan after deciding I should start supporting an Aussie team when the ANZ Championship was disestablished (👋🏽✨🪄😭). It was the shooting partnership of Sammy & Helen and their ‘special sauce’ that grabbed me…
Kiri Wills is a seasoned coach and not somebody who will politely sit back and watch on mute while bad vibes permeate. I think there’s only 2 ways this goes, (1) a meaningful cultural reset, or (2) a “lata ‘bo im outta here 😬” announcement very soon..
#netballchaos
Coco: “Hi Grace, it looks like you and Taneisha are having a good battle out there. How are you finding it?”
Grace: “I wouldn’t call it a battle I’d call it dangerous play but if that’s how she wants to play that’s on her..”
💀💀💀
#MYSvSTE
My takeaways from the 1st quarter live at the game:
- LaTanya Wilson shutting everything down
- Dwan had a huge 15 minutes
- Crowd is definitely TBirds majority but patch of Swifts supporters the loudest
#THUvSWI
I CANNOT believe that just happened!!! Fever looked like winners for 55 minutes of that game. What an OUTRAGEOUS WIN! Sophie Fawns, wow. I still hate the supershot with a passion for what it’s done to the game. Romelda 😍 OMG we’re cheering SWIFTS at John Cain!!!
#SWIvFEV
🧵Some reflections on the epic 🇯🇲🇿🇦pool match:
- Jamaica showed any remaining doubters they are here to win GOLD and they have all the necessary ingredients
- Norma was brave with her selection of EVDB, the fruits of which did not fully materialise but may still yet..
Is it just me or has there been a refreshing shift in Liz’s approach when speaking to media/publicly? Her “We don’t” answer to the question about how Diamonds deal with the rowdy Auckland crowd, was the first time I remember her speaking beyond platitudes/clichés.
“I want to,’’ Watson told CODE Sports ahead of Tuesday’s third Test against South Africa. “I don’t want to be hanging on and just scraping through, though. I want to be thriving in this environment, so if I can, I will, and if I can’t, I won’t. - Liz Watson
I have been glued to Funmi during this series and there are aspects of her defensive set-up in GK that I find very interesting. She is obviously smaller in height and stature than most GK’s… 🧵
#AUSvENG
Hearing Australian 💎fans / pundits go off about the umpiring is a bit annoying tbh. 🤷🏽 All we heard in NZ for years was “adjust to the umpiring / toughen up”. It hits different when you’re not benefiting from the interpretation...

So devastated for our articulate queen GG. The pain is evident in her words, we can all feel it. I’m so proud of her for finding the courage to share these feelings, and to still show gratitude and support for her teammates which speaks to a maturity beyond her years. 💕🫶🏼🖤
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Cara Koenen is NZ defence kryptonite. There is no shooter I would dread trying to defend more than her. The sitting in behind, the slight change of direction. It killlsssss. 🥲

One News’ leading Sports story tonight ⭐️ I’m very curious to know what the criteria’s are for exemptions.. Lovely to hear from Grace herself though ❤️

Chatfield commentary bingo:
- “What can she/they do?”
- “Can they score it?”
- “<player name> to <player name> to …”
- “1 goal the difference”
- “And the goal is scored”
- “What a game!”
- “Tippy toes”
#THUvLIG
After a turbulent season at the Queensland Firebirds, defender Remi Kamo has spoken about her experience playing for the Super Netball club.
Kamo believes the team culture was toxic and revealed she had a mental breakdown this year due to the stress.
The Ferns Bronze medal performance was the most Noeline thing I’ve ever seen tbh. It was a clinic in Noel’s and NZ style… England struggled to win ball and struggled with the zone.
#NetballChaos
BLACK & DEADLY flag waving proudly in the stands at KRA. Take a bow Donnell and Leesa you were both bloody unstoppable today showing us all how it’s done 🎤🕳️❤️🖤💛
#GIAvFIR
But one week earlier (when Swifts dominated Giants at KRA) Sophie was being cute with Sam online and Helen said it was her favourite home game she can ever remember playing? 🤷🏽
@RenInOz
off topic but I want to shout out to you and your mad skills in managing these spaces, the rants & bants, keeping it loose but also honouring the moments that require extra maturity and heart - what a queen 👑
#NetballChaos
Reed, McKevitt and Pechova are my favourite new discoveries from this English team. I had heard of Reed before (VNSL highlights reels with Queen Cat) but she has really made a name for herself here..
