Tasmanian Netball League 2025 live stream: Cripps v Karana, Round 16
Don't miss out on the headlines from Netball Live Stream. Followed categories will be added to My News.
While they may not have secured a win so far this season, Karana could very well play a major part in shaping the TNL's top four.
And while he'd clearly love to have a few wins under the belt, Karana coach Rick Loring is just ensuring his players 'stay in the moment'.
The Flames will get the chance to both turn their fortunes around and cause an upset when they face finals-bound Cripps on Saturday.
Both the Opens and U19s matches will be available live and exclusive on KommunityTV from 4pm.
Despite their poor record, Loring believes his side's best is good enough.
'We have played some really good moments throughout the season,' Loring said.
'When we have zipped through the defence of other teams we have looked really good and it shows we can match it with them.
'It isn't something we have really looked at, the ladder, but it could be a way to motivate the girls for the rest of the season.
'They have been really good at sticking together, we have had injuries that have impacted us definitely but they have stayed pretty close as a group which is great to see.'
Cripps sit fourth and on the same amount of points as fifth placed Devon, who will be taking on the third-place Hawks this weekend.
The Hawks are two games clear in third spot.
With five rounds to go, the top three look almost set on the ladder with fourth place still up for grabs between Cripps and Devon.
'We play (Devon) after the Kings Birthday bye weekend, a road trip up there which will be nice for the group,' Loring said.
'I wish we had to travel earlier in the season as it bonds the group together.
'It is a long trip, four hours up on the bus and then four hours back and we will do it in a day as well.
'But maybe I can use the motivation about the ladder to get the girls up as well.
'Hopefully it creates a bit more for the girls and we can jag a win.'

From ‘storm in a teacup' to the sidelines for Hawks skipper; Pies confirm hamstring tear for star
'His groins are fine, his groins are fine … he is playing every week. There is no reason why his kicking has anything to do with his groins. His groins are fine,' Mitchell said last Wednesday. 'He kicked the ball reasonably well last week, I thought. I am really happy with how he is kicking. I can get you all the kicks that he has done that hardly anyone else in the competition can pull off, and he has done them over the last month. The kicking – that is a storm in a teacup. 'I am not concerned about his kicking.' Mitchell bristled when pressed further on Sicily last week. 'His groins are fine – he's playing every week, there's no reason that his kicking has anything to do with his groins,' he said. 'Go watch all of his kicks and tell me which ones you think he could do better. Bring me back, show me some vision, but I'm really happy with how he's kicking. 'I can get you all the kicks he's done, that hardly anyone in the competition can pull off, and he's done them over the last month. That's a storm in a teacup.' Hawthorn's head doctor said Sicily's injury was not significant enough to justify his omission before the Collingwood game. 'Unfortunately, James' injury has flared up post the Collingwood game on Friday night after showing improvement in the weeks prior,' the club's doctor Liam West said in a statement. 'Having played every game this season, we were always looking to give James an extended break around the bye, so we've decided to bring this forward.' Burge explained that the Hawks were already planning to give Sicily a rest for next Friday night's game against the Crows. 'But just in the last fortnight, we've just noticed that his strength numbers have come down a little bit, and we need them to come back up so we were going to take the opportunity into the bye to take next week off the table and have that fortnight to prepare him for post-bye,' Burge said. 'But we're now going to take this week as well. 'That'll take him out of the next two games and we'll have the bye as well to get some rehabilitation and get his strength numbers back up and get on top of this issue so we can get him back to full training and back to playing football.' The Hawks estimate key forward Mitch Lewis (knee) is still about three weeks from a return, while star onballer Will Day (foot) is still two to three months away. Lengthy rehab for Magpie Schultz Collingwood's Lachie Schultz will be sidelined for up to six weeks with a hamstring injury after the Magpies opted for a mid-season rehabilitation period for the small forward. In a statement on the club website on Tuesday, head of high-performance Jarrod Wade said the 27-year-old Schultz sustained a 'moderate' tear to the hamstring in his right leg in last Friday night's clash with the Hawks and the former Docker will be out of action for at least five weeks. The injury lay-off continues a turbulent 2025 season for the 117-gamer, who was concussed in an incident with Fremantle's Jordan Clark in round nine. Loading In further injury news for the Pies, Pat Lipinski is in concussion protocols after sustaining a head knock during the third term of the game against the Hawks, while key forward Dan McStay (knee) will return to full training this week ahead of the Pies' King's Birthday clash with Melbourne on Monday. Jordan De Goey and Brayden Maynard are still recovering from Achilles and plantar fascia injuries respectively.

Diamonds star left ‘in agony' as NZ move lasts just three games in ‘big blow' for her team
Diamonds squad member Donnell Wallam has been sent for specialist scans after injuring her wrist in a nasty fall while playing in New Zealand. The star goal shooter's return to play now remains unclear, with Diamonds medical staff to be consulted on the best option for the 31-year-old. Watch every game of the 2025 Suncorp Super Netball season, LIVE on Kayo. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. Wallam, playing for the Northern Mystics, had been attempting to keep the ball in play off a rebound when she turned to shoot and fell awkwardly, landing on her left arm. It's the same arm Wallam broke while playing under Dan Ryan in England for the Leeds Rhinos before she would go on to light up Super Netball and earn a fairytale Australian call up. Wallam's injury late in the third term of her side's thrilling win over the Southern Steel was described as a 'big, big blow' for the Mystics. 'She took a hard fall,' commentator Jeff McTainsh said. 'She's coming off here, not happy. She landed hard trying to keep it in. 'Just tried to break her fall Wallam, stuck out her left wrist. 'A big, big blow for the Northern Mystics.' Fellow commentator Kruze Tangira said his 'heart dropped' watching Wallam immediately clutch at her injured wrist. 'My stomach was in knots seeing that,' Tangira said. 'She tried to attempt that shot and just fell heavily on her left wrist. 'She was attempting to get the ball back in, we've seen that in previous games where she does a little flick behind the post. 'As soon as it happened, she grabbed that left wrist obviously in agony.' Wallam stayed on court for almost a minute before she was able to head to the bench and not return for the remainder of the contest. The Aussie star recruit was clearly in pain as she made her way from the court. In a statement released on Tuesday, the Mystics confirmed Wallam would be sidelined indefinitely. 'Donnell Wallam is currently undergoing treatment for a hand injury that she suffered in the Mystics Round 3 clash with the Southern Steel,' the club said. 'Donnell will be seeing a hand specialist this week and a return to play plan will be confirmed following consultation with Mystics and Australian Diamonds medical teams. 'We wish Donnell a speedy recovery and can't wait to have her back on court.' Wallam was only in her third game across the ditch after moving on from Super Netball when not offered a deal at the Queensland Firebirds. The goal shooter was sitting inside the league's top five for goals scored – alongside fellow Aussie recruit Charlie Bell at the Stars – before she suffered the arm injury. Wallam is the player who replaced Super Netball's superstar recruit Grace Nweke at the three-time ANZ Premiership champions.
