@Mokey from Stuff:

With starting goal shoot Te Paea Selby-Rickit bedridden with a virus, New Zealand started Bailey Mes in her place. Mes again struggled with her shooting and was subbed in the third quarter for Ameliaranne Ekenasio.

Explains half of why she was starting

Should have brought Irene Van Dyk out of the carbon freeze block

[Mokey]

@booboo Doesn't explain why Mes is in the team though. A GS who can't shoot? That is insane. Folau deserves credit considering every quarter she and Mes were on, she had to carry the entire load. I mean Mes wasn't netting from anywhere, and that is unforgivable. A GA's job is to link between the midcourt and circle, to feed the ball to the GS and to be a back up for rebounds. They should never be asked to do all that PLUS shoot all the goals.

@virgil Did they ask her if she was resigning?

If she said no, you could follow up with an, "Ah, waiting to be sacked then, eh?"

Said she wasn’t making any calls re her future etc
Overall was pretty flippant over the questions, short without really answering them

[Chris B.]

@mokey They did ask the question apparently. She's given it the "corporate" treatment.

"At this stage, I don't make decisions in the heat of the battle - we've all got to go home and have a look. There's lot of reasons for the situation we're in and we've all got to have a good look at it, take ownership of whatever learnings going forward."

@chris-b I saw in the Stuff live blog Southby said something along the lines of the problem was lack of belief. If she truly thinks that is the main issue, the Ferns are fucked.

[Virgil]

I’d say David Kidwell has a better chance of been retained as the kiwis coach then she does as coach of the ferns

He decided not to re-apply didn't he?

Yep.

C’mon England ( never thought I’d ever say that)

Ona happier neutral netball note - in the netball gold medal match, England are handing the Aussie chicks a good serving of what Ocker has dished out for years... good to see
Maybe the Ferns needed this reality check

Yeah, exciting match.

[Virgil]

Fucking beauty!!

Poms score in the last second to win 52-51

[antipodean]

They seem pretty ecstatic about it too.

[Higgins]

Can I be the first to congratulate Australia for winning the netball silver medal? Well done you lot.

[antipodean]

Stupid fucking commentators. "England came in here with nothink to lose" Umm, the gold medal you stupid clown?

[JustAnotherFan]

That netball game was epic. My kid asked me "why are they so happy". Not used to seeing girls in short skirts getting so excited.

[Chris B.]

@antipodean They had no chance. Nada!

There will be a short delay while someone is dispatched to find a copy of the England anthem.
