Perth Thundersticks vs Adelaide Fire: Team Selection

Published Thu 31 Oct 2024

As the Perth Thundersticks get ready for their second home games for the 2024 Liberty Hockey One season, both the Men’s and Women’s teams will feature limited changes.

Men’s

UPDATE: Angus Adamson has been added to the Men's lineup, replacing Cam Geddes who has been ruled out due to a calf injury.

After pulling off a huge come-from-behind victory to upset Hockey Club Melbourne, the Perth Thundersticks Men’s team will feature just one change ahead of their second home game of the season.

Fresh off his stint in the Sultan of Johor Cup with the Burras, Max Freedman will return to the side that will compete against Adelaide Fire on Sunday 3 November.

Freedman made his Hockey One debut back in round one alongside fellow Burras teammate Angus Adamson in the Thundersticks’ losing effort to Canberra Chill.

This time around, Freedman will be looking to provide extra reinforcements as the Thundersticks look to build momentum off their first outright win of the season.

Freedman comes in to replace Josh Bowen who despite being listed as a late inclusion to replace James Collins in Melbourne, has been omitted from the line-up.

The last time the Thundersticks faced off against Adelaide Fire, the Thundersticks recorded an emphatic 3-0 win to get their season on track.

This time around, the Thundersticks will have former Adelaide Fire team members Christian Starkie and Fraser Heigh go up against their old side for the first time.

Women’s

As the Perth Thundersticks Women’s team looks to continue its domination over the Hockey One competition, only one change has been made to the line-up ahead of their clash against Adelaide Fire.

Georgia Wilson will return to the squad for the Thundersticks’ second home game of the season on Sunday 3 November.

In this season so far, Wilson has featured in the team’s record 10-3 win over Canberra Chill and the 6-3 win over Tassie Tigers.

Wilson will come into the side to replace Jolie Sertorio, who has been omitted from the line-up.

This weekend, the Thundersticks will be looking to book their tickets to Tasmania for the Liberty Hockey One finals and continue building on their undefeated streak.

The last time the Thundersticks went up against Adelaide Fire, the squad put up a dominant effort to win 4-0 and become the first Hockey One side overall to secure a spot in the 2023 Hockey One finals.

This time around, the Thundersticks will be looking to replicate that effort and become the first side to lock in a finals berth once again.

The Thundersticks will also likely come up against some familiar faces in the form of recruits Miki Spano, Britney Desilva and Tyler Pedley, while Eva Drummond will face former Netherlands teammate Margot van Geffen.
