A quintet of Australian shooters find themselves under the spotlight with places in Stacey Marinkovich’s squad limited
iz Ellis often refers to shooters as the “princesses” of netball; the ponytail-tossing prima donnas who crave the spotlight. While said in jest, there’s some truth in the characterisation by Australia’s most capped netballer. That’s because it takes a particular type of self-assurance and composure to hold the hopes of a team, even a nation, quite literally in your hands.
Vice-captain Wood, Austin and Koenen – all part of the squad that won Commonwealth gold – and Dwyer and Garbin must be acutely aware that Stacey Marinkovich will take only four shooters back to Cape Town for the World Cup in late July. Wallam, just the third Indigenous woman to represent the Diamonds, was unlucky not to be named for the Quad Series but still has a Superseason to impress Marinkovich. The national coach can only take 12 players – traditionally four shooters, defenders and midcourters – to the showpiece event.Bueta, who according to Marinkovich “certainly hasn’t retired”, is first picked in any Diamonds side.
