As players spend extended time away from home some teams are dealing with it better than others.

The NSW Swifts are one of those teams, who, despite their challenges were able to beat the undefeated West Coast Fever and elevate their chances as a serious contender for the title.

We're excited to chat to talented Adelaide Thunderbirds defender Matlida Garrett on this podcast and to have a full round with 4 games to talk about.

This week we delight in the glory of our Queen Liz Ellis, who stole the win (and everyone's hearts!) on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! We hear from former Australian Diamonds head coach, Lisa Alexander, on the recently announced Diamonds squad and she gives us her thoughts the inclusion of Adelaide Thunderbirds defender, Matilda Garrett.

Round seven served up some tight matches where we saw the come-back-queens of 2023, the Swifts come from behind (again!) to steal the Sydney Derby from the Giants. The Firebirds, Lightning and Magpies were again unable to put in a 60-minute performance this week; and we wonder if the bottom four teams on the ladder are even a slight chance of making finals as we reach the halfway point of the season.

Gungarri woman and former international umpire Stacey Campton is one of Australia's key Indigenous figures in netball.

During her 14-year career at the top, she umpired at World Championships and Commonwealth Games. Since 2021, Stacey has been working as Netball Australia's high performance umpire coach.

Ahead of Super Netball's First Nations Round this weekend, she joins The Netty Life podcast to talk about her family story and netball journey.

Stacey also discusses how she believes we can encourage more Indigenous umpires up through the state pathways to the elite level.
