Last season the Giants came sixth.
The biggest change to the Giants’ roster from 2020 is the loss of former Aussie Diamonds captain Caitlin Bassett. On paper that is a massive change. However, in 2020 Bassett struggled to receive court time and even resorted to reading books on the sideline.
It was implied (or assumed) this was a result of the introduction of the super shot. This reasoning does not hold much weight given similar style goal shooters like Jhaniele Fowler and Romelda Aiken still dominated, plus there were ten minutes per quarter where the super shot is not relevant. Therefore, there were other factors at play. It is good to see Bassett doing what she does best in 2021 with Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.

UTICA, N.Y. - After a 7-1 loss to the Syracuse Crunch the last time out, the Utica Comets bounced back with a better effort and came away with a 2-1 overtime win over their Galaxy Cup rival at the Adirondack Bank Center, Wednesday.
The teams traded chances in the first period to no avail, but the Comets were forced to make a goalie change a few minutes in after starter Jake Kielly went down with an injury. Kielly was run into by Crunch forward Jimmy Huntington, who was pushed into the crease, and remained on the ice for several minutes before leaving the ice slowly under his own power.

Last season the West Coast Fever finished second.
The West Coast Fever made the grand final in both 2018 and 2020 and split those grand final appearances with a sixth-place finish in 2019.
The Fever lost a thrilling grand final to the Vixens by two points. Traditionally it would be goals but with the invention of the super shot, it is now points. Sorry traditionalists – and I am one of those – the super shot is still around for 2021.
