INSIDER: How do you think the standard of the Ballarat A Grade Netball competition would stack up against other regions across Victoria?

TAYLA HONEY: I can only speak for Geelong - similar. VNA players’ presence in Ballarat is certainly helping raise the standards.

INSIDER: In what areas on the court is the BFNL strongest?

TH: Ball handling skills, minimal turnovers, quality shooting stocks.

INSIDER: Would you support an Interleague initiative for netball? Is that something netball scouts would source as a potential recruiting tool?

TH: Yes I would, I think it would be a strong competition.

INSIDER: Would you encourage the Under 23 format similar to the men with footy or open age?

TH: Open age. There is still plenty of untapped talent above 25. On the netball front the strongest representation would be open age.
