Ouch. It's a fine line between 4-1 and 1-4.
Quality win by the Fire. Very good at both ends, but I was especially impressed with their D.
Andy Stewart in trouble. Another horrible loss to an inferior team.

Fire look thin on paper but Seebohm runs some great stuff. They were right there with Melbourne for most of last week's game before having a costly bad couple of minutes.
Imagine what Seebohm can do with his choice of 12 players.
Loooking forward to following the fire over his 3 year contract. Also should be opals coach after Tokyo.

Southside have been impressive but Melbourne should win tonight really. A week more rest is a pretty decent leg-up.

Weird scheduling making the Flyers play 2 days in a row.
On an even playing field this is a blockbuster but it's not really a fair fight now with the starters all logging big minutes overcoming the Spirit yesterday.
Bendigo only had 18 hours rest and the Lynx four days when they got the job done a couple of weeks ago. Not ideal for the Flyers but you still got to get in there and go at it.
Flyers have a good bench, need to start using it more

Flyers have Maley who is a rebounding machine plays 3/4, but doesnt really do a lot more than that especially in a teram like this, Rowe who can hit that outside three when shes on but bit slow off the foot also plays 3/4, Tomlinson and Pizzey both play the 5, and thats it, their starters consist of Mercedes who runs the 5, Blicavs who runs the 4 but can also run the 5 and 3 spots, Ohea who is a 2/3 but posts up and can run the point, which leaves Mitchel Cole and Clydesdale running between the 1/2 spots, the Flyers bench was never going to be a big contribution to this team LOL.
Did they recruit well, you would probably say yes, can they sustain the entire season running basically 6 players...probably not, but then again Cole and Mitchel never seem to run out of energy, their big conserves her energy lol, Ohea always coasts along, so that leaves Blicavs and Clydesdale, both have been injury prone, Clydesdale took a hard knock last night...............tonight should be interesting.

I'm going along tonight so glad to see both teams undefeated going in. Should be a good one.
Definitely would be better had the Flyers not had to play only 24 hours earlier though.

Flyers were really good. Don't know how many easy lay ups they got on back door cuts. Just seemed as though Boomers couldn't stop them. Their big import was great too. Just an all round performance.
Cayla George with the big steal and pull up 3 in the first was pretty huge though. She certainly did her part to keep them in the game.
Can't believe the Boomers we're within 5 in the last minute. Felt like they were destroyed.
Cayla George is the most interesting player in the league. Puts up great offensive box score stats.
Can you win a title with her with the way she plays defense (without prime Suzy)? I'm not sold...
Flyers put out the blueprint to beat Boomers tonight for other teams that may have been watching.

Yeah the Flyers centre had her way inside. Boomers need more D out of Cayla and Ezi.
Side note, my first trip to the State Basketball Centre. Nice stadium but little more than a standard suburban gym, complete one way in car park access and being in the middle of nowhere with awful public transport access.
If any WNBL team ever played in a relatively central location I'd likely take a membership, but based where both Melbourne teams are, its a huge trek just to get to a single game.
