PLAYERS TO WATCH

EMMA RYDE

Shooting Star winner this season shooting nearly 900 goals at over 51 goals per game. In her first season in the Gippsland League Ryde has made a major impact providing the Gulls with the much needed tall shooter. Impossible to stop on her day, if her shooting is on it will make the Gulls hard to beat.

RENEE NOBELIUS

Star defender, the 2018 League B&F is still at the top of her game. Was one of the best on court in the 2nd Semi Final whether playing at Keeper of Goal Defence she is one of the best in the game. Watch out for the flowing blond hair flying for plenty of intercepts today.

SIENNA GREEN

Another super season from Green has solidified her as one of the premier mid court players in the League. Along with team mate Liv Barnett, she made the VNL 23U team of the year and claimed a premiership medallion at state level.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

OLIVIA BARNETT

Fresh off a break out 2023 season, Barnett hit new heights this year finishing 2nd in the League Best and Fairest and 3rd in the Coaches MVP award. A team of the year member in the 23U Victorian Netball League, the talented defender will have a crucial role to play on star Warragul shooter Emma Ryde.

RAMAYER GOURLEY

Much rides again on the Lions star shooter. Best on court in last years Grand Final and her battle with Ella Rees and Renee Nobelius will go a long way to deciding the result of the match. Finished 2nd in the Shooting Star this year with 738 regular season goals.

ALEX MOODY

The Team of the Year Wing Attack is a crucial player to the Lions and will play a huge role in the outcome of the 2024 Grand Final. Feeds beautifully to the shooters and drives through the defensive lines.
