GD stands for Goal Defence, So that means that you are defending the ball from going in the net.

GD always marks GA who is a shooter, this means that Goal Defence will have to try her best to intercept the pass to GA. It is very important that GD intercepts this pass as if she doesn't then GA has the chance to shoot. Although you have to intercept the pass and throw to WD (wing defence) they can then carry on the pass up to your teams shooting third.

Who is allowed inside the 'D' on a Netball court?

When you mean 'D', I am assuming that you mean the semi-circle in your teams goal. If you are the only positions in netball allowed in the semi-circle are Goal Shooter (GA), Goal Attack (GA), Goal Keeper (GK), and Goal Defence (GD). Keep in mind that the GS and GA are only allowed in their goal semi-circle and the GK and GD are only allowed in the opposition goal semi-circle. Hope this helped :) Vicky
