After 14 rounds and five months, another thrilling GIANTS season has come to an end. Whilst the season didn’t end our way, it will be a driving force behind a bigger and better 2020.
Season 2019 was unique for many reasons.
The competition began in late April with the GIANTS taking on cross-town rivals the Swifts in the opening round. Despite not taking the win, the GIANTS saw Australian Diamonds Goal Shooter Caitlin Bassett in orange for the first time and got a glimpse of what was to come from the recently elevated Amy Parmenter.
It took the GIANTS a few rounds to find their best form, recording their first win of the season three rounds in against the Collingwood Magpies.
At the conclusion of Round 9, the competition had a five-week break for the Netball World Cup which featured three of the GIANTS players - Caitlin Bassett, Jamie-Lee Price and Jo Harten - each representing their home nations.
The break seemed to work wonders for the GIANTS with the side winning four of their last five games.
However, the slow start to the season caught up with the GIANTS with the club missing out on finals for the first time with percentage the determining factor at the conclusion of the regular season.
The GIANTS celebrated many milestones and achievements in season 2019 including Kim Green celebrating a whopping 200 elite games, Kristiana Manu’a began her chase notching up 50 games and five players debuted in orange for the first time.
The moment all GIANTS fans had been dreading became a reality in the lead up to Round 14 when Captain Kim Green announced her retirement from elite netball. Recognising not only an amazing career but an amazing person, Green was given the send-off she deserved in front of over 10,000 people at what turned out to be the GIANTS final match of the season.
