Borlase shines as locals produce exciting finish
ADELAIDE's "one that got away" during the club's off-season WNBL turmoil, Isobel Borlase, came home with defending champion Bendigo to haunt Lightning with a 24-point, 11-rebound, 5-assist, 3-steal extravaganza, a locally-led revival dragging back a potential blow-out into a respectable 82-74 loss.
Fire, Lynx separate from a growing WNBL pack
TOWNSVILLE and Perth continued to show their bona fides this round as WNBL championship favourites, with Geelong and Canberra slowly emerging as teams likely to give Bendigo and Southside Flyers a run for their Final Four money.
Lilly blossoms, Lightning thundering, Fire red-hot
UNFASHIONABLE Adelaide and depleted Geelong were the talk of WNBL Round 4 after not just stunning but convincing wins over Sydney and Perth respectively, Lilly Rotunno wracking up career-highs for the Venom, while title favourite Townsville went about restoring order.
Brad&Boti: Burger Boss launches the round
BRAD Rosen has spent a day in Adelaide-town and finally sampled the wears of one of our past sponsors, Burger Boss, and you can tell he was stoked. He enjoyed it so much, we led this week's Brad&Boti podcast with it before turning to the major events of WNBL Round3 and NBL Round 7.
Long arm of the Lynx 'synx' Venom
ALEX Ciabattoni's deceptively long arms last night made all the difference in Geelong as Perth maintained its undefeated start to the WNBL season when her deflection meant Mackenzie Holmes' game-winning basket was 0.2 of a second too late to reverse the Lynx's 77-76 road win.

WHAT is it about the WNBL and women's basketball in general that my podcast colleague Brad Rosen loves so much that in this week's episode, he is waxing lyrical about it in comparison to what he is seeing from the men? There's plenty to listen for in this round's Brad&Boti podcast.
Townsville fires and Lynx run past Flames
TOWNSVILLE asserted its authority in the capital before Perth staged a monumental fightback to turn Sydney's WNBL Round 2 into a nightmare, Tegan Graham the Lynx's unsung hero, slamming the handcuffs on Flames' scoring machine Lauren Nicholson to underpin the win.

WHAT a fabulous start the WNBL shot off to as all four Round 1 games were claimed by road warriors, there were great turn-outs for the matches and meanwhile the NBL was setting records, as Brad Rosen and I discuss at this week's Brad&Boti podcast.
What We Learnt #5 ... and who is Pesticide?
WOW! What we learnt from Round 5 is what we've all known or suspected for years since Scott Butler has been at the helm of the NBL referees - never have they, as a collective, been worse. And that's saying something. Where are the Bill Mildenhall, Ray Hunt, Mal Cooper, Geoff Weeks types now who umpired with common sense?
Dynamic duo back to raise WNBL hell
TWO of the WNBL's all-time superstars, Sara Blicavs and Lauren Nicholson, returned to open the 2025-26 season with match-winning performances before Abbey Ellis saved title favourite Townsville with a career-high 31 points in the road win at Bendigo, adding 10 boards and four assists in a super performance.
