WNBL Round 8
I did indeed have concerns about our depth, but after saying that suddenly Carley Mijovic started firing up in a big way and Izzy Chilcott chipped in with some handy performances too.
Carley went back to quiet mode this weekend unfortunately but it's nice to know she's got some good games in her. I also think we've had a few favourable circumstances this season in terms of opponents missing important players right when we were due to play them.
I really can't complain about the way we're playing though. It's an entertaining style to watch (I'm sure Sami is gaining fans with each new city she plays in), and the results to date speak for themselves. Andy Stewart is doing a great job.

Sorry not sorry, because it was literally last century when I was last able to do this

You probably misread my post, but yes, yet another solid game by Laney. Slowish start to the season but she has become a very versatile player at both ends of the floor. Doesn't get much fanfare but has been really important for us at the 3 spot.

Bowen is injured

Stallworth has gone home.

Really not the type of drama that a brand new franchise needs. They'd had such a bright start too in terms of excellent results despite some difficult circumstances.
People management is a vital aspect of coaching.

Lynx take sole possession of top spot after thumping the Stars 85-64 in their own house :D
Very even performance with all Perth starters scoring 12+ and all but Lavey pulling in 6+ boards.
Great defensive effort keeping them to 26/70 from the field and winning the boards 43-27.
I hear that things might not be as harmonious in SEQ lately as they would like.


Up 5 with 5 minutes to go and then it all imploded in a hurry for the Lynx :(
By no means a shame to lose in Townsville, but a great opportunity blown. Couldn't match them on the boards by the looks of things. Mijovic grabbing just 1 is not good enough.

"Looking forward to the Flames going clear at the top..."
Not today though.
"Its funny even discussing the possibility of Canberra getting a win over the Boomers."
Caps came up short but to their credit they made a game of it.

Massive test for the Lynx. If we can get 1 of the 2 I'd happily take that. Don't know why they couldn't have scheduled us for Friday-Sunday though. Saturday night in Townville followed by Sunday arvo in Brisbane is a big ask from Perth!
With the Boomers and Spirit so up & down with form lately, wins by Adelaide & Canberra are not out of the question.
