But Mundy never entered the game and in the post-match media interviews, Honey revealed more info. That Mundy is still dealing with a foot injury that kept her out of the line-up for a couple of weeks. She was missing in round 10 when they suffered their first loss this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph_paragraph___QITb\">Interesting times! Which one is the truth? Maybe it sits in the middle. Perhaps when Mundy wasn&#8217;t quite 100 per cent,\u00a0Honey saw an opportunity to bring an element of suprise to the preliminary final. Question is, will Mundy be available next week? They&#8217;ll need to be at full strength to face the Thunderbirds after losing their last two meetings in round 12 (61-42) and the major semifinal (58-44).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"During the match, Vixens coach Di Honey\u00a0said she started Zara Walters over\u00a0Hannah Mundy at wing attack\u00a0as a way&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":763766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[64,63,9740,9736,74197,85,3763,9741],"class_list":["post-763765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-melbourne-vixens","tag-netball","tag-preliminary-finals","tag-sports","tag-super-netball","tag-west-coast-fever"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=763765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/763765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/763766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=763765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=763765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=763765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
