Dream Silver Ferns Team

This is my dream Silver Ferns team with the current available players.

GS- Irene van Dyk. You can't deny she is the best shooter in the world. And she plays with a smile on her face. What a legend.

GA- Maria Tutaia. Although she could do with a bit more agression there is no denying that she has total talent. Her shooting looks effortless but is flawless. She can shoot from anywhere in the circle and that is something crucial for a goal attack. She's my choice just because she is simply beautiful to watch play. A close second would be Jodi Brown.


WA- Maree Bowden. I think Maree Bowden has proven herself during the ANZ championship and has shown she has what it takes to make the Silver Ferns. The wing attack position is a hard one to decide because there are no outright players that would take the spot. Though i beleive Bowden has done what it takes to get the bib.

C-Temepara George. This was a hard decision and i have always liked Laura Langman's style of play in this position. However George will not be playing as long as Langman with the age difference and so i feel George she get the position while shes committing to the Ferns. George is definitely formidable in this position and i think she plays extremely well against the Australians which is what the Ferns need.

WD- Laura Langman. I think Langman is a vital component in the Ferns team as she adds a bit of flair and speed. My preference is for her to play centre but i think her second best position is at wing defence as her defensive marking is excellent.
GD- Katrina Grant. She's not long been in the Ferns but she plays superbly well with Casey Williams and i think that they both complement each other in different ways. When they played together against the Australians it worked really well and i think as she gets older she will develop more and more.


GK- Casey Williams. The best goal keeper in the world. Hands down. Enough said, she dominates against almost all goal shooters, managing to effectively get into their heads and affect the performance of their game. A vital asset to the team. And no Norma Plummer, you can't have her.
