11 rebounds and 11 assists (against the AIS). Could've had a triple double if she shot better (went 2/10 from the field including 1/8 from beyond the arc for 6 points). Only had 2 TOs. Quite worried about her offense but the Tom Maher factor is there (he can't coach offense for sh*t). I guess having LJ sort of overshadows that though (33 points off 13/23 shooting).

It's interesting to note that Hollie Grima only picked up 4 points. She's the "hot thing" supposed to keep LJ honest in the WNBL this year. A name for the future, but not for last night?

Hollie has trouble dealing with double and triple teams atm. More experience is the key.

The Canberra Capitals (Vealy's team in Australia) have a new message board. The site address is:

Not your typical Veal performance that's for sure
Only 3 assists, but 25 points @ 11/13 from the field (3/4 from outside) plus 8 rebounds

No, sadly that wasn't the TV game this week :(
Pity, because Veal (18 points) & Jackson (27 points, 21 rebounds) were both in amazing form, and the Fire's 'big 3' all played well too, scoring 18+ each.
Instead, once I send you the next tape on Monday, you will see an uninspiring thrashing of the AIS.

On a positive note though, the playoffs are fast approaching, and Vealy always steps it up around that time :)

Hey Dan,

What are your impressions of Shelly Hammonds at this time?

My thoughts are with those in Canberra suffering from the bushfires.
Is Tugger stadium safe?

Hammonds is legit!
A friend had a chat to her after tonight's game & she indicated maybe heading to the W for the 2004 season.
I expect that by that time she'll be pushing for a first round spot.
Versatile small forward with a good all-around game, hard-working & athletic. Typical AIS product in the Penny Taylor mold (though I hate to use that comparison given my massive opinion of Penny, but I mean she's developing a genuine inside-outside game)

Vealy's latest effort:
12 points, 8 assists & 5 steals (that's all the info I know at the moment - boxscore not available for several more hours) - against Adelaide earlier this evening.
btw this is tomorrow's TV replay game.
LJ chipped-in with a handy 31 points, 17 rebounds & 9 blocks.

Adelaide looking bad with the playoffs starting next weekend, but Vealy & LJ are timing their good form nicely it would seem.
Looks like being another Canberra-Sydney GF on current form, so hopefully some more sweet Veal footage awaits us, along with previews of other potential WNBA'ers Hammonds & Snell.

It was against Adelaide btw, not Sydney (Sydney are playing their last game of the regular season tomorrow).

Oops - sorry - I knew it was Adelaide, guess my brain was already thinking ahead to the Sydney
game(s). Thanks for picking that up.
Vealy also had 2 blocked shots btw :)
