Podcasts about Melbourne Vixens

As we say farewell to the Melbourne Mavericks in the title race after their loss to West Coast Fever in the minor semifinal, we still have three teams in contention for the Super Netball trophy. The Adelaide Thunderbirds have secured their grand final spot after beating the Melbourne Vixens by 14 points in the major semifinal; so the Vixens will face the Fever in an upcoming do or die preliminary final. We analyse the weekend's games and discuss the recently named 12 player Diamonds squad, who will travel to Glasgow for the Commonwealth Games.

We are on the countdown to finals as we wrap the 2026 regular Super Netball season. The West Coast Fever locked in a home semi, the Melbourne Vixens have now lost four of their last five games, the Giants FINALLY got to taste victory after 14 rounds and the NSW Swifts simply have too many goal attacks — so who will they sign for next year? There's also been an update on the ownership of the struggling orange club with two key parties interested in buying their competition licence. We assess the two options on the table and share our thoughts on which may be the most viable choice.

The original Jamaican import Romelda Aiken-George set a new record, reaching 255 National League Games, overtaking a 12-year record held by Cath Cox.

Really Interesting Women - the podcastEpisode 140    Bianca ChatfieldBianca Chatfield is a former Australian netball player. In fact, she was one of the youngest players to have debuted for Australia.  She's won a world championship, Commonwealth Games gold as well as 6 combined premierships with Melbourne Phoenix and Melbourne Vixens.  The transition from successful athlete to what I'll call the outside world, is never easy. And it's a testament to her ability, drive and determination that she would become a leading media personality and business owner. Bianca is, without doubt, one of the most prominent female voices in Australian sport. She also works across a variety of TV and radio shows, launched a book in 2016 called Every Girl Needs A Plan and, always seeking new challenges, in 2018 she and a former teammate, became reality TV stars when they were one of the teams on the channel 9 reality show, The Block. But her reality show connections don't stop there. Her partner is also a reality show star.

In this very funny, warm and enlightening episode with the very funny and skilled teacher, strength and conditioning coach, Phd candidate, author and broadcaster Craig Harper is all about understanding what drives your behaviours and how to get your brain to behave. We go deep into meta cognition Metacognition refers to the awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes, cognitive abilities, and the strategies used for learning or problem-solving. It involves thinking about one's thinking, reflecting on one's cognitive processes, and having the ability to monitor and control one's mental activities. At the end of the day, we all generally know what is good for us and what isn't - why then don't we always do the 'right thing", eat the right food, sleep when we should, exercise appropriately In this episode Craig shares in his very light hearted and funny way some very serious issues that we all face. How to actually do what we want to do How to stop our brain sabotaging our activities How to create constructive habits How to step outside your own thinking to evaluate what and why you are doing and feeling that way. This is an episode that will empower you, that will help you look at the what's really going on in your mind without judgment or guilt.
