Co-kapetan Thunderbirds-a Georgie Horjus će voditi svoju momčad u još jedan veliki finale, ovaj put protiv Melbourne Vixens-a, u onome što obećava da će biti vrlo očekivana revanša.
Uspjeh Thunderbirds-a može se pripisati kombinaciji čvrstog regrutiranja i duboko ukorijenjenog osjećaja prijateljstva unutar momčadi.
Horjus, koji je proveo šest sezona s Thunderbirdsima i dolazi s otoka Kangaroo, naglasio je važnost kohezije tima.
Predstojeća utakmica protiv Vixensa obilježava nastavak dugogodišnjeg rivalstva između dva tima. Thunderbirds je prethodno osigurao pobjedu u velikom finalu 2024. uz malu razliku od dva boda, dok je Vixens osvojio titulu 2025. i sada teži uzastopnim prvenstvima.
Horjus je priznao izazov koji predstavljaju Vixens, naglašavajući njihove igrače na elitnom nivou i intenzitet natjecanja koji donose.
Unatoč postizanju gotovo savršene regularne sezone s 13 pobjeda, veliko finale će se održati u Melbourneu zbog značajnog sponzorskog sporazuma između Netball Australije i Visit Victoria vrijednog 15 milijuna dolara.
Horjus je izrazila povjerenje u svoju sposobnost da upravlja živcima prije utakmice. Prepoznajući da će obje momčadi osjećati sličan pritisak, ona ima za cilj podržati svoje suigračke, osobito one koji su novi u velikom finalu, kroz zajedničko iskustvo i aktivnosti izgradnje tima.

The AgeNeovisanSredinajučerThe Super Netball grand final between Melbourne Vixens and Adelaide Thunderbirds faces a unique challenge due to scheduling conflicts with Disney on Ice. The final will be held at John Cain Arena in Melbourne, significantly smaller than last year's venue, Rod Laver Arena, which hosted 15,013 fans. This reduction in capacity is attributed to Disney's booking of Rod Laver Arena for its 'Magic in the Stars' tour. Additionally, the Thunderbirds were forced to relocate their semi-final matches to a smaller venue in Adelaide due to Disney on Ice's presence. Despite these challenges, Thunderbirds player Tayla Williams expressed understanding toward Disney's scheduling, emphasizing the importance of family-friendly entertainment. The Vixens, despite a recent losing streak, are preparing for the grand final with renewed determination.
