Have read McMahon is not playing so Vixens will either run two second string shooters or one plus the out of form thwaites. Circle defense is arguably Pulse's strong point with Grant and Abwaze.

Nash who got injured in the first quarter last week is out as well. This means Vixens may only play three of their best seven.

They have lost 7 in a row only one of these was a single digit margin. Over this stretch they have averaged 44 goals.

Last year when they were slaying everyone their results in NZ were a 4 goal win over the Steel and a 7 goal loss to the Magic.

There is a high chance the Pulse will choke if they are leading. They were neck and neck with the Magic last week only to implode late and lose by 6. That said I see a value in the ML and line.

One other factor that may benefit the Pulse is that the match is being played where they train not their usual match venue.

Unfamiliar combos should keep Vixens in the 40's and Pulse are a decent chance to go to powder in the fourth making under look attractive to me.

same page on the side and total bino, I marked this game as a pk

vixens fall from grace over the last two months has been nothing short of astonishing. Imo they've plummeted from the best in the business to a point where I seriously doubt there's any team in the comp they could beat.

true, maybe my disgust for the Vixens skewed my thinking by a goal or three in terms of my est line. Really disappointed in the way they've completely disintegrated since that loss to the Firebirds.

I guess as Aussies, we're used to seeing our teams dig in and hit back when the going gets tough. I expected more from a champion team like this. I just can't believe they haven't summonsed some sort of fight back. Would've made for a great finals series if they'd have been there in top form along with the Swifts and Tbirds.

Well done on both counts bino, just missed the ML by a hair  

too much juice on the total at my book by gametime (1.86) so I only went with the Pulse +
