#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Fun fact: Swifts' defeat in the Preliminary Final now makes it NINE times in SSN that a team has started a season with 4 or more straight wins, and not gone on to win the title. Incredible.
Ahhhhh #SWIvVIX Seems like swifts have forgotten how to close out a tight game 🙈 Garbin held it together for Vixens today. Don't think either of these teams would/will challenge fever... We shall see 👀 #SSN2025

Stats from today's thriller in Sydney as the Vixens overcame a 10-goal 3/4 time deficit to defeat Swifts and move into another grand final.
I've just been replaying and rewatching the final moments of this game again and again and again since it finished lol
Also, love the flying pony plait in this pic!

#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
A game for the ages as Vixens come back to take a thriller against Swifts and book their place in the grand final.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Full time: VIX 66-65
What an amazing comeback! Vixens won the last quarter 25-14. 25 goals equals Vixens' best ever 4th Q. In the last Q, Sophie Garbin shot 17/17 while Kiera Austin landed 3 super shots. POTM Moloney was huge. Swifts are just devastated.
What a comeback from the Vixens. Swifts look like they had it won for sure #SWIvVIX #ssn2025 #netball
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Some real hope here for Vixens as they've narrowed the gap to just 5 goals with 5 minutes left!!! SWI 61-56
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
3/4 time: SWI 51-41
It's looking very much like Swifts are off to the grand final. They dominated the third quarter and started to look like the Swifts team of earlier in the season. Too many errors from Vixens.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Swifts winning this third quarter 9-5 and they lead the game 40-34 as Vixens call a time-out. Weston and Eddy swap positions.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
1/2 time: SWI 31-29
Swifts take the lead into halftime after winning the second quarter 19-14. The two centres, Hadley and Moloney doing a heap of work, especially Moloney. Vixens' Tara Watson came on during that Q for her debut!
Shooting
SWI 30/36
VIX 28/30
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Another time-out. This time from Swifts as a couple of errors brings the gap back to 2, 26-24.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Swifts on a roll, up 25-20. It's another time-out. They lead this second quarter 13-5! Kiera Austin not having a great quarter for Vixens.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
A great start to the second quarter for Swifts as they tie things up at 18-18 and Simone McKinnis calls a time-out.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
1/4 time: VIX 15-12
A tough finals game. Vixens with the lead but Swifts well in it. Up against Nweke, Rudi Ellis has 4 gains, while Moloney is doing a stack of work. Unsurprisingly, Swifts look better with Hadley back.
Shooting:
SWI 12/15
VIX 15/17
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
Vixens lead 13-10. They're doing a great job at putting pressure on the Swifts. Grace Nweke has been penalised 3 times. Some of the feeds into her have not been great. They need to get closer to circle edge. Grace Whyte on now.
#SSN2025 #SWIvVIX
It's a good solid start. Vixens lead 7-6 after 6 minutes. Kate Moloney in everything for the Vixens.

I’m already so nervous about #SWIvVIX today.
It was way better last week when I knew* Tbirds would beat us. 😅
But after last weekend I now expect vixens to win today… so the expectations are high and there’s so much more to lose now lol.
*turns out I don’t know anything.
