Several Super Netball clubs will host individual Pride Matches this season, but without an official round to anchor them, this former player argues the message becomes “wishy washy”. ✍️ Here are the key talking points from round eight. #SSN2026 #LGBTIQA+ abc.net.au/news/2026-05-0…

They both struggle for recognition in male-dominated fields, so Super Netball clubs chose to host an all-female Anzac Day ceremony to commemorate and give visibility to female veterans ✍️ Here are the key talking points from round seven. #SSN2026 abc.net.au/news/2026-04-2…

@hosko Several sources told us the last broadcast deal was heavily funded by government money. So that’s what we’ve gone off.

@TheNettyLife I don't think netball was ever part of the governments grants for women's and under represented sport, which had its final grant in 2020 for 2020-2021 and isn't mentioned in the departments report infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/…

🏐🎧 NETBALL’S NEW TV DEAL From 2027 onwards Super Netball is headed back to Channel Nine, so how do we feel about the new free-to-air TV deal? Plus we analyse the epic top of the table clash between the TBirds and Vixens in RD6. #SSN2026 #netballchaos open.spotify.com/episode/7dx64P…

@Dayfidd Yep — Britt wrote the ABC article referenced at the top and we discussed all those details on the podcast.

@TheNettyLife sorry if you've discussed this on your podcast but here's some more info re new broadcast agreement, looks like viewers will need to subscribe at some stage anyway if they want to see their team every week

@hosko Ah yep, that would make sense.

@TheNettyLife I believe the all under one umbrella quote is in reference to the Fox/ABC bid.

@Dayfidd You’d be surprised!! Here are some free-to-air TV numbers from the weekend gone. With the cost of living rising too, some people can’t afford pay TV. Scroll down the page for the numbers. NRL Sunday had an average 558,000 viewers. forums.mediaspy.org/t/sunday-19-ap…

@TheNettyLife I wonder how many viewers watch FTA anymore, regular supporters might tune in but are enough people still watching fta to gain new viewers? For me who watches SN, AFL, and F1 on Kayo it means if I want to watch a version without adds it's another subscription. Good luck to them

@sportznut67 Ahhh, thank you! Didn’t see it on the coverage? She had a great game.

@TheNettyLife Lara Dunkley was POTM in Firebirds v Swifts, Britt.
