Anyone else have a problem with the 'birds eye' viewing?
This is NOT how you see it... even being in stands at games. Ok for a Very short flash at times, but NOT as the main way of viewing the game. Made me feel unsteady (for want of description), annoyed and peed off altogether in the end. Stopped watching after 3rdQ (had missed 1st too).
Games were not presented to us like this in earlier times; is it only because New Drone tech now available?? Have posted on Netball NZ FB as well. Asked if this could PLease please be addressed!

An update on a SPCA dog that was successfully adopted.

"Remi has been a ball of crazy adorable energy since the start. Meaning she fits right in with our big family and is always happy to meet new people. She continually find ways to get up to mischief but she's so cute it's impossible to get mad at her. She has adjusted really well to living with three cats and six chickens (although the cats were very unimpressed at first).Our entire family has fallen in love with her and can't wait to see what crazy adventures she gets up to next."
