Theres going to be emerging players that are coming through the system that will hopefully form a formidable Diamonds line-up.Really looking forward to the next chapter and what it holds for Australian netball.The thrill of leading her country again remains an honour and a privilege to McMeniman, but shes promising not to rock the boat too much until her Firebirds colleague Geitz returns to national colours for the October series with New Zealand.Were fairly similar in our leadership styles and the way we approach situations, she said.Its really not what I do, its just about how cohesively we work together as a group.The Diamonds are world-class athletes so it shouldnt be too hard a job Id imagine.
