and I know I am biased... but lets just spare a thought for Screeny. At 23.. a knee recon, broken coccyx, endless lower back issues... and along with Erin one of the gutsiest, disciplined and wonderful leader you'd come across...
Along with that had a sensational WNBL season.
These kids work their arses off for opportunities like these... and they give their hearts and souls. I know it is just a "game"... but it is rarely understood by supporters just how devastating these disappointments can be.
While we are STOKED for Vic and Laura I think( and I have no doubt their own excitment has been tempered by Jens non inclusion) lets just really support this player who has given her heart and soul for Adel.
I know I feel dreadful for Jen today...

jen would be the 13th opal - trouble is there is soooo much good talent around

jens defensive work is fantastic - to have 7 wnbl seasons under your belt at 23 is sensational

rememeber 2 or 3 mave move for taylor and harrower yet in the worlds
