Super Netball finals are so close, we can taste it!

In exactly two weeks, the top four will be locked in and we'll be preparing for finals.

The Melbourne Vixens, Adelaide Thunderbirds and West Coast Fever have all guaranteed themselves a shot at the trophy, but where they finish in the top three needs to be determined.

The rest of the five teams are desperately fighting over fourth place and this had fans on the edge of their seats in Round 12; where the majority of matches were decided by three goals or less.

If you missed it, don't worry — we'll get you up to speed with our Super Netball Round-Up.

Nail-biting finishes

Only the 1 vs 2 clash became an unexpected blowout in the favour of the Thunderbirds, 71-58.

Most anticipated this game would be a tight affair, considering both teams' red-hot form and that their previous meeting in Round Two went the other way by just a goal, 54-53.

Afterwards, the Vixens conceded they'd paid too much respect to the Thunderbirds defenders, letting their reputation get in their heads and allowing Shamera Sterling-Humphrey, Latty Wilson and Matilda Garrett to triple the gains stat in front of the Adelaide crowd (18-6).

Then came our first nail-biting result of the weekend as the round headed to Hobart to watch the Melbourne Mavericks host and win their first game in the Apple Isle, 72-71.

The side stole the lead from the Sunshine Coast Lightning with a Gabi Sinclair super shot within the final 10 seconds, to move into equal fourth with the Lightning on the ladder.

The Lightning had dominated much of the game but failed to convert their final chance at a two-point goal at the hands of their captain Steph Fretwell. It was a similar pattern to the way their previous meeting in Round Four played out, seeing the Mavericks claim that too, 65-64.

Another side that was left feeling bitterly disappointed due to the power of the super shot were the NSW Swifts on Sunday, who fell to their old rivals the Queensland Firebirds, 61-60.

It was the 38th time the pair had clashed over their long-standing history, and it was a cracking contest in Sydney with a see-sawing lead that changed 12 times.

Eventually, the Firebirds pinched it with their 12th super shot of the game and 20 seconds to go. Swifts goal attack Sophie Fawns had two cracks at the long bomb in response but to no avail.

The Firebirds are extremely determined right now as they're in the midst of a mission to win four games in a row under interim Katie Walker.

Since their head coach Bec Bulley departed a few weeks ago, Walker has set them the challenge and they've now gone two from two.

They were even able to pull this one off without their main shooting target Donnell Wallam, who was ruled out due to illness.

To round out the weekend, the bottom of the ladder Giants faced the third-placed Fever. But don't let the huge gulf in those positions fool you, this one was tight.

A hot start from the Giants had them in front at half-time by eight goals.

They couldn't hold the Fever off for much longer though, as the home team felt the support of a 10,000-strong crowd in the third quarter to outscore the visitors 20-9.

Neither team could be split in the final 15 minutes, but the Giants started to fatigue and lose concentration with the damage done in that third quarter.

Still, it was closely fought and the Giants threatened to take control back in the final super shot period.

Ultimately It was an important win for the Fever, 68-65, who have been a bit shaky of late, slipping from first to third over the previous three rounds.

Uneeq Palavi lives up to her name

For a third straight week we need to mention the Tonga Tala shooter, after she stole the spotlight in her second Super Netball game.

Palavi made her debut with the Swifts in Round 11 after originally being signed as a Melbourne Mavericks training partner and patiently waiting in the wings for a shot at the big league.
