Last Time they Met: The two sides last met in round 13 of the 2025 Super Netball season, where the Fever delivered a dominant performance to secure a 17-goal win on home soil to claim the club’s first minor premiership. The GIANTS stayed in the contest early - powered by Jo Harten’s super shooting - but were gradually worn down by the Fever’s relentless defensive pressure and slick ball movement. Despite a strong midcourt effort led by Maddie Hay, the visitors were unable to contain the Fever’s momentum as the home side pulled away across the second half.
What it Means for the GIANTS: Still searching for their first win of the season, the GIANTS will be focused on turning competitive passages into a full four-quarter performance. Consistency with ball in hand and finishing in attack will be key, particularly against a Fever side that thrives off turnover ball. That means valuing possession through the midcourt, making smart decisions under pressure, and maintaining strong connections into the shooting circle to maximise scoring opportunities.
What it Means for the Opposition: For the Fever, this is a chance to respond emphatically after a disappointing 13-goal loss to the Thunderbirds. Back on home court at RAC Arena, they’ll be eager to reassert their authority and return to the fast, efficient attacking style that has made them one of the competition’s most dangerous sides. With a vocal home crowd behind them, the Fever will be intent on setting the tone early and regaining momentum in their season.
The Name: Romelda Aiken-George – while a familiar face to many, Sunday’s outing will be the first match-up against her in her new colours. At her best, Aiken-George is a proven and powerful presence in the shooting circle. Limiting her impact and disrupting her connection with the Fever midcourt will be crucial if the GIANTS are to stay in the contest.
The Narrative: It’s a battle of response versus breakthrough. The Fever will be desperate to bounce back on their home court, while the GIANTS are chasing a breakthrough win to ignite their season.
The Notes: "The Perth game is always such a massive match up. They’ve got a massive target up the front in Romelda, so it’s important for us to go into the weekend with a strong defensive unit out the front to have heaps of pressure and slow that quick ball movement. Ultimately, we want to get our first win, so sticking to our game plan and be consistent should help us achieve that." - Hope White.
