Only two rounds in and COVID has already reared its ugly head to completely disrupt one of the teams!

Giants goal keeper Tilly McDonell takes us behind the scenes of the drama-filled week, after the Super Netball league set a tough precedent for the rest of the season by denying the club's request to reschedule the game with six of their players missing.

Some of the other talking points on the agenda include: Sophie Fawns' incredible debut for the Swifts, Ruby Bakewell-Doran's impressive defensive work for the Firebirds, and the worrying signs plaguing Collingwood's start to the season.

A week after parting ways with head coach Bec Bulley, the Queensland Firebirds bounced back with an emotional win against the West Coast Fever as their new co-coaches Katie Walker and Roselee Jencke took the reins for the rest of the 2024 season. 

The Melbourne Vixens have maintained the No.1 spot on the ladder without looking like they’ve even hit top gear yet and the Adelaide Thunderbirds jumped the Fever into second place.

Meanwhile, both NSW teams are struggling, with the Giants at the bottom of the ladder and the Swifts still feeling the effects of their off-court drama with Samantha Wallace-Joseph. 

We also hear from Australian Kelpie Josh Byron about the state of men’s netball in this country and his ambitions for the sport to get onto the Olympics program.

In past years the Diamonds have been the favourites heading into the Quad Series...

But this time there are a few question marks hanging over the team, with a host of squad changes and limited playing time during the pandemic.

Will Stacey Marinkovich rotate through the squad more effectively this time?

Is Paige Hadley the most underrated Diamonds player? Could she be the difference on court?

And how will the shooting circle shape up now more experience has been injected back into the squad?
