Why players have to do this every period is beyond stupid, why can you not have multi-year contracts?? Results in players being less loyal because they can leave whenever the fuck they feel like it. People make up bullshit rumours on absolute rubbish, and clubs post ‘hints’ about players who are already on the fucking team the previous season. It should be removed immediately. Fuck Netball Australia.
I’ve been a fan of AFL Giants maintaining their connection with Australian netball and not quitting like Collingwood. But I was completely confused by the naming of Whitney Souness as Captain. A player brand new to the club. And its not like they don’t have players who had been there longer and could have stepped up, like Amy Sligar or Sophie Dwyer.
Now Souness has left Giants (I’m gonna keep calling them that til their new name is announced, which is hopefully today) and I’m really curious if anyone knows why she was given the Captaincy? I’m not hating on her, I just dont get why someone who wouldn’t have any connection to the rest of the players was given the main leadership role? Is it simply that it was extra enticement to get her to join the club? 😕
Sydney Sirens is the new name for Giants Netball

I'm trying to follow all of the SSN signings as closely as possible (thanks heaps to this Reddit sub and various websites and blogs for keeping so up to date), but cannot find virtually anything about the Giants - or whatever they're going to be called this season.
No announcements on ins or outs, no new signings... not really anything. I thought strict deadlines had since passed about certain announcements and, if so, what does this impact have on them?

Rumoured to be going to Swifts
So my favourite Browne sister Kelsey has heard that a mid court player could be heading to TTWFKG (Giants)
My little thunderbirds heart is hoping this isn’t Georgie Horjus!
Who do we think this is about????

Rumoured to heading back to the UK
Well, that rumour that Sunday is going swifts was just a rumour
Since the Aussie netball league is still being described as the “Super Netball League” but no replacement for Suncorp has been announced, does anyone think that they will keep the Super Shot (it makes the game a lot more interesting) but without a partner?
It would be disappoiting without a partner, someone to support “The Confident Girls Foundation“ or another worthy netball organisation but I do hope they keep the super shot.
More drama again at the Firebirds
After they got their last coaches fired then got Kiri I thought this was behind them obviously not

The head coach wasnt offered a new contract and the new head coaching staff has ~4 years experience *combined* and there’s now at least 3 starting players leaving!! Is the new head coach not well liked by the players, a certain player getting preferential treatment (like Fever seemed with JFN) or something else?
Is this the fate for all teams with all players contracts up? 😟
I’m worried for my Melbourne teams! 🙈
