[CURVE]

If Jackson returns at the start of December and not the end as predicted, I can't see Sydney or Dandenong beating them for the Championship. A line-up of:
Whittle (All-time leading shot blocker)
Jackson (2nd all-time shot blocker)
Sharp (twice All-Defensive Runner-up)
Abrams (twice 3rd -All Defensive Player)
Bevilaqua (4 time All Defensive player)
would be near impossible to score against.

Of course the Caps will need to win a couple of games at the start of the season, and that may be a problem, with a very light and short roster and Sharp still not 100%.
A positive, Marino is a shoe in for Rookie of the Year. That was quite a debut. She blew both her opponents (Wilson & Musselwhite) out of the water.
