Hi Gemma, as a Goal Attack (GA), your primary focus should indeed be on finding space, supporting the Goal Shooter (GS), and positioning yourself well in the circle. This is crucial for receiving passes and creating scoring opportunities.
While marking the Goal Defence (GD) is part of your role, it shouldn't overshadow your main responsibilities. It's important to balance both aspects: creating opportunities for your team while being aware of the GD's movements to avoid interceptions.
If your Wing Attack (WA) suggests focusing more on marking, it might be beneficial to discuss and align on team strategies. However, your current focus on space and support is essential for effective play as a GA.

Best of luck with your team!
