In our final podcast at the end of the most hectic Super Netball season, we tackle the 2021 Grand Final battle between the NSW Swifts and Giants.

We also have the pleasure of speaking with premiership winning coach Briony Akle, just days after her team claimed the trophy for the second time in three seasons.

Nat Butler (nee Medhurst) is an Australian netball legend that needs so introduction.

She’s a three-time World Cup champion and a Commonwealth Games gold and silver medallist.

After a couple of years in retirement, watching from the sidelines, the goal attack has decided to make a return and extend her elite netball career by signing as a training partner with the West Coast Fever.

So how is Nat doing this pre-season and what’s it like making a comeback after having two kids?

The final round of the regular Super Netball season for 2023 gave us fairytale finishes for two retiring stalwarts of the game, April Brandley (Giants Netball) and Ash Brazil (Collingwood Magpies). The black and white dress of Collingwood was also retired as the club played their last game in Super Netball after what has been an emotional few weeks for all involved.

The Diamonds World Cup squad was finally announced after an ugly stand-off between the playing group and Netball Australia. We discuss the fallout from this soured relationship and if this is indeed the team that can win back the final trophy missing from our national cabinet.
