Last Time they Met: The two teams last met way back in round two, in what was the GIANTS' first home game of the season. It marked the return of Jo Harten and Maddie Hay for season 2023 and the game went right down to the wire. After trailing by 11 goals at three-quarter time, a 21-goal surge from the GIANTS in the final quarter put them right back in a winning position but composure from the reigning champions saw them finish on top at the final whistle. Harten and Hay were impactful upon return, as was Jamie-Lee Price, with the leadership trio leading the charge.
What it means for the GIANTS: With finals now out of contention for the GIANTS, the team in orange are looking to finish the season in form and finish as high up the ladder as possible. After a narrow loss to the Fever earlier this season, the GIANTS will be wanting to even the tally for season 2023.
Where’s the opposition at: The West Coast Fever have been in unfamiliar territory in the back half of the season losing three of their last five matches. They currently sit third on the ladder but could finish the season in any of the top four positions. They come off a four-goal loss to the Lightning at home, holding on after a second half fade out.
The Name: Jamie-Lee Price - the GIANTS' vice-captain will bring up her 150th National League match this weekend. The 27-year-old has been a core contributor for the GIANTS this season, leading her side for Nissan Net Points and ranking third for the entire league.
The Number: 3.93 - is that the average margin between the two teams across the past seven seasons.
