Former Diamonds captain Laura Geitz described her as the most tenacious player she'd ever seen, but now it's time for Kim Ravaillion to hang up the purple dress.
When Kim Ravaillion steps off the court tomorrow for the final time, it won't just mark the end of her 11-year netball career but serve as the final salute to the Firebirds 'Golden Era'.
From there they'd go on to appear in the next four straight Grand Finals, winning back-to-back titles in 2015 and 2016, with the 2015 decider going to extra time and the 2016 decider going to double extra time. "It took Geitzy to say … a few words, a really simple set play on our centre pass and I just remember going holy crap, we're gonna win this game."For Ravaillion, the victory was even sweeter, because she defeated the team she felt had overlooked her.
"I just love watching it back and the memories that come from it … that's what the Firebirds team is — that game we never give up." "She's probably the most tenacious player that I've ever played alongside, just her attitude, she just never gives up. "I've come back to the club that I love too trying to give my impact back to this club and now I get to go home and who knows, have another baby?
