On this bonus episode we catch up with former Diamond and AFLW star Sharni Norder to hear more about the Super Netball Grand Final breakfast she's hosting in Melbourne.

We also took the opportunity to get Sharni's thoughts on Netball Australia's decision to sell off the grand final and the broader discourse happening around the sport's dire financial status now it has come to light.

Sharni has some great background knowledge from her playing days that she can contribute to the discussion and shares some of the key ideas she has to help netball grow so that it can become a financially sustainable sport.

It has been a while since our last podcast, and some tension is brewing in the Australian Netball scene. We discuss the growing unease between Netball Australia and the Australian Netball Players Association (ANPA) as Super Netball players are currently left without income due to the CPA that is yet to be finalised.

We also discuss the upcoming Constellation Cup that starts in Melbourne on October 12th, which is set to be a thrilling event as it marks the 500th international game for the Diamonds, who will be facing off against their arch-rivals, the Silver Ferns. The four-game series promises to be a hotly contested tournament, with the Silver Ferns looking to prove their worth as the second-world ranked team despite their fourth-place finish at the recent World Cup in South Africa.

Can the Aussie Diamonds win back the gold medal status they lost four years ago?

Kate and Britt analyse their chances of winning the Birmingham Commonwealth Games event and take a look at the other top four ranked team’s chances: New Zealand, England, Jamaica and South Africa.

We’ll bring you more Games analysis during the group stages of the tournament.

Good luck Diamonds!
