The grand final dreams of West Coast Fever were stolen from their grasp in the dying moments of the preliminary final by the NSW Swifts, who will now battle the Adelaide Thunderbirds for the 2023 Super Netball trophy.

We analyse how agonisingly close Fever came to having a shot at back-to-back titles and how teenager Sophie Fawns proved to be the game changer for the Swifts with hot hands during the super shot period.

For the second time this season we welcome back Dr Alan Pearce, neuroscientist, to discuss an incident concerning Sasha Glasgow, who was diagnosed with concussion after colliding with the post.

A couple of upsets in RD12 have made for some interesting changes to the ladder with just two rounds to go.

Now some teams are fighting to stay in the top four, while the Giants and West Coast Fever battle it out for the Minor Premiership.

On the podcast, Kate and Britt take a closer look at each of the teams and where they sit at the business end of the competition.

What do the teams in finals contention need to think about? And what changes should the lower-ranked teams make for next year?

The seventh season of the Super Netball league is upon us and we are beyond excited to be back with you for what is our fourth season of The Netty Life podcast!

As per usual, we love chat and a chinwag, so this consider this a mega preview with every team’s biggest narrative heading into the competition and as a warning for length -- you may need to settle in with more than one cup of tea.

We also cover the latest hot topics in the netball world right now, including: the departure of the Queensland Firebirds’ assistant coach six days out from their first game, Noeline Taurua’s comments about Courtney Bruce’s physicality, an unfortunate injury that has rocked the Melbourne Vixens camp on the eve of the season, and whether the Adelaide Thunderbirds might finally be the real deal this year.

All this and more on our first podcast of 2023.
