Sodelavec kapitana Thunderbirds Georgie Horjus bo vodil svojo ekipo v še en veliki finalni obračun, tokrat proti Melbourne Vixens, v zelo pričakovani revanši.
V zadnjih nekaj sezonah je ekipa pripeljala več mednarodnih talentov, med njimi južnoafriškega strelca Elmeré van der Berga in novozelandskega centra Kate Heffernana.
Horjus, ki je z Thunderbirdsom preživel šest sezon in prihaja z otoka Kangaroo, je poudaril pomen kohezije v ekipi.
Prihajajoča tekma proti Vixensom označuje nadaljevanje dolgoletnega tekmovanja med obema ekipama. Thunderbirds je prej zagotovil zmago v velikem finalu leta 2024 z majhno razliko dveh točk, Vixens pa je osvojil naslov leta 2025 in zdaj si prizadeva za zaporedna prvenstva.
Horjus je priznal izziv, ki ga predstavljajo Vixensi, in poudaril njihove elitne igralce in intenzivnost tekmovanja, ki ga prinašajo.
Kljub doseganju skoraj popolne redne sezone s 13 zmagami, bo velik final potekal v Melbournu zaradi pomembne sponzorske pogodbe med Netball Australia in Visit Victoria v vrednosti 15 milijonov dolarjev.
Medtem ko se pričakuje veliko finale, ki je predvideno za soboto ob 19:30 ACST, je Horjus izrazila zaupanje v svojo sposobnost obvladovanja živcev pred tekmo.

The AgeNeodvisenSredinavčerajThe 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.
