Hope, joy, anguish and despair crammed into final 75 seconds of Super Netball thriller | Megan Maurice

A short but pivotal period of time that saw the Vixens edge the Giants 55-54 to reach the grand final epitomised the 2022 season

Seventy-five seconds is not a lot of time. It's not enough time for the world's fastest runners to finish an 800-metre race. It's barely enough time for an NRL team to score a try. Maybe if someone was really committed to saving water they could squeeze in a shower in that time.

However, the last 75 seconds of Saturday night's Suncorp Super Netball preliminary final was long enough for hearts to break, find hope and then explode with joy. Long enough for fans to scream in excitement, then in anguish, despair, belief and finally in agony. Long enough for both teams to believe multiple times that the place in the grand final was theirs and to also believe multiple times that all hope was lost.
