After several months of an unbelievable shit show, Netball Australia and the Australian Netball Players’ Association finally agreed on a landmark Super Netball CPA deal that will see the players and administration enter a partnership in the sport’s very first revenue-share model.

Was former CEO Kelly Ryan used as a scapegoat for the rest of the board? And should more heads roll as the governing body pick up the pieces of this ugly dispute?

We take a look at the timeline of the negotiations and how they reached a point of no return for one party, before casting our eyes over the 2024 teams now the CPA is sorted and all clubs have been able to lock in their playing rosters. Who is the best buy of the off-season and which new import will make the biggest impact?

Thank you to Netball Scoop for the thorough 2024 playing lists and to ABC Sport for the Liz Watson audio.

To celebrate the wonder that is double centurion Geva Mentor, we spent some time with the Commonwealth Games gold medallist and Collingwood Magpies captain — talking netball, friendships and spa baths.

Also on the agenda: Fever's back-to-back losses, which teams are still fighting fatigue and are the Swifts the new favourites to win the competition?

After 11 years competing at the elite level of netball, Verity Simmons, West Coast Fever's talented mid-courter, has decided to retire from the sport. Her decision was partly influenced by the ongoing disputes between Netball Australia and the unresolved CPA, which has left netballers without pay for nine weeks.

Throughout her career, Verity has faced injuries, grand final losses, two premiership wins, and has even had the honour of wearing the Diamonds dress. It was truly inspiring to speak with one of the most hardworking netball players the sport has ever seen and hear her plans for the future.
