Tickets are now on sale for the next Netball World Cup in Sydney and chief executive of the 2027 major tournament Jane Fernandez joins us to talk about the organisers' strategies. Fernandez previously worked on the groundbreaking 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup that truly captured the hearts and minds of Australians across the country, cheering the Matildas all the way through to the semifinals. So what lessons can she bring from football? How can athlete storytelling help build momentum? And how will the introduction of the plate as an extra piece of silverware keep excitement going for fans of the bottom eight teams? It was fascinating to hear the behind the scenes planning of what's to come.
New Zealand win the Constellation Cup for the fourth time in history, Super Netball is proposing some outlandish rule changes and which nation is ranked number one in the world right now? Nobody seems to know. On our last official podcast for the year we cover off the biggest talking points in Australian netball right now. Including some breaking news about the sport's chances at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
As we continue our series of Super Netball coaching interviews, we speak with West Coast Fever head coach Dan Ryan about how his team is taking shape for the 2027 season. Topics include the club’s decision to sign six imports (more than anyone else), the tough conversations had with players that were let go, how Shanice Beckford fought her way back to the world's best league and how their newest recruits Ameliaranne Ekenasio and Maddy Gordon will add value to the existing roster.
The Giants are no more after a wooden spoon season. Instead, they've been rebranded as the Sydney Sirens for 2027. Head coach Nerida Stewart joins the podcast to discuss the transition between owners, how the uncertainty impacted staff and players this year, why they've decided to keep six of their 10 existing athletes when they only won one game, and how they managed to land the big fish (or rather, mermaid) that is New Zealand goal shooter Grace Nweke.
When Australian players Kate Eddy and Lucy Austin found themselves lost without 2027 Super Netball contracts, the Melbourne Mavericks threw them a lifeline and signed them as training partners for the greater good of the game. Head coach Gerard Murphy is entering his second season in charge and shares the thinking behind some of the decisions made during the recent signing period. Gez speaks about privatisation and how it can help players generate more money, publicity and profile. As well as his plans for the shooting, midcourt and defensive areas of the court.
