This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: the passing of Neale Daniher, the Brad Scott / James Hird Essendon saga, the Enhanced Games the cave rescue in Loas, and plenty more. Their guest this week is Australian Diamonds captain, and international netball superstar, Liz Watson. One of the biggest names in world netball, Liz takes the boys inside the world of elite sport, covering everything from captaining the Diamonds and performing on the biggest stages, to the preparation, pressure, and standards required to stay at the top. The conversation explores the growth of women's sport in Australia, the increasing professionalism of netball, and what the future holds for the next generation of athletes. Liz also shares her journey to the elite level, the sacrifices along the way, and what continues to drive her after achieving so much in the game. What quickly becomes clear is why Liz is such a respected leader. Calm, kind, and incredibly grounded, she brings a warmth to the conversation that makes for a fascinating insight into how she leads both on and off the court. As always, BT finds a way to compare everything back to footy, leading to plenty of laughs and some great banter along the way. A conversation with one of Australian sport's most admired athletes, and someone who represents her sport with absolute class.

Netball New Zealand officially has a new CEO. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited deputy chairwoman Jennah Wootten has been appointed to the role, taking over from interim CEO Jane Patteron in August. Her appointment follows a troubled year for Netball NZ, including the resignation of former CEO Jennie Wyllie, the situation surrounding Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua, and their struggles to find a new broadcast deal for the ANZ Premiership. Wootten has plenty of experience in both the business and leadership side of things, and she told Mike Hosking they'll be helpful in ensuring the sport and the organisation can reach its full potential. She says there will be a focus on ensuring the grassroots game is thriving, and that the elite competition is doing incredible things, but a big focus for her coming into the role will be the commercial pressures. And one of those pressures is broadcasting, with the current ANZ Premiership deal set to end at the end of this year. Wootten told Hosking the Board and team at Netball NZ are working really hard to find a solution, but things aren't yet at a place where they can be shared publicly. “We want to make sure that we have got as many eyeballs on the sport as possible, because that helps all of us into the future.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Round eight has been and gone, the Vixens had a scare against the Giants and the Firebirds didn't learn from their earlier defeat to the Thunderbirds. A crucial mistake from the Swifts saw them fumble against the Mavericks, and the Lightning held its annual Pride Match against the Fever. We discuss netball's non-committal stance on Pride and why a league-wide official round would be a more powerful move for the competition. Plus we pick our teams of the season so far and spoiler alert — we all had the exact same defence end!

The ANZ Premiership is reaching the halfway point and some selections in the match between the Northern Stars and the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic raised some eyebrows. Casey Kopua and Leana de Bruin were both featured in the match - both former Silver Ferns and both stars of the game, however, they are 40 and 48 years old respectively. This raises questions around why we aren't bringing through fresh young talent into the ANZ Premiership - and who will grow to be the next stars of Netball for New Zealand. Debbie Christian is an executive at the New Zealand Netball Players Association, and she joined D'Arcy to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Six rounds in and we have a new ladder leader. It was the match we'd all been waiting for and in their first meeting of 2026, the Melbourne Vixens surprised the Adelaide Thunderbirds shooters by injecting Jo Weston into goal keeper. The rest is history. The other big thing to note of course, was netball's new broadcast agreement, as we switch back from Fox Sports to Nine for the next five years. A good deal? Or is it like going back to a shitty ex? We explore all the details left off the announcement that fans need to know.

Hopes a tough few months at Netball New Zealand can begin to be consigned to the past as the 2026 ANZ Premiership gets underway in Wellington this afternoon. The first game between the Pulse and Magic follows an offseason with more headlines coming from boardroom than the court, with some questions still unanswered. Netball Players Association GM Pippa Moore told Piney it's been a tough time for the players, as they don't know what will happen next year, and that uncertainty is unsettling. “I think the players are in a pretty difficult position ... they've had to take a cut, but they're optimistic.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After the turmoil of the last six months, there's some good news for netball. The ANZ Premiership will be available on free-to-air TV, with TVNZ taking over the broadcasting of the competition. Head of Sport at TVNZ, Melodie Robinson told Piney they got some really good results when they experimented with it last year, and they've seen year on year growth with their previous experiments. “What that's saying to us is if you put it on free to air, you make it accessible. You schedule it the right way, then Kiwis are gonna come and watch.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hands up—who knew the ANZ Premiership starts tomorrow? This is netball. I'm guessing not many hands went up, which is a worry. It's somewhat forgivable, given the state of netball's head office at the moment. It doesn't have a permanent CEO, and the chair and several board members have recently resigned. So you can understand why things are a bit of a mess and the communication strategy isn't quite working. But it's also not forgivable, because this is a pivotal season for netball. This season has to work. It probably won't, but it at least needs the best possible chance, because professional netball in this country is fighting for its life. There's no broadcast deal this year. Sky pulled out at the end of last year, so netball has had to pay TVNZ just to get it on TV2. That means there's no money coming in from Sky, and players have had to take a 20% pay cut—those who are still here, anyway. Nine Silver Ferns have already moved to the Australian competition, where they earn double what they do here. And that will keep happening unless the local competition can start generating revenue again and paying players properly. So you can see how important it is that this season gets things moving in the right direction. It seems netball bosses are pinning their hopes on free-to-air TV being the game changer. Before, you had to pay to watch; now you can watch for free on TV2. The idea is you might fall in love with it again, start watching regularly, maybe even go to matches—and before long, netball secures another deal with Sky. But will you watch it again? Will you love it again when nine Silver Ferns are already gone, and the competition isn't as strong as it was last year—when you probably weren't watching anyway? Probably not. And the fact that neither of us even knew the season was about to start is probably not a good omen. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Silver Ferns captain Ameliaranne Ekenasio says she has not had any contact with the national side's management since making herself unavailable for selection last year. The 35-year-old revealed she has not spoken with head coach Dame Noeline Taurua since stepping away from the Ferns, a decision she made midway through 2025 in order to prioritise her physical and mental wellbeing.

Heading into the final weekend of the Winter Olympics - where does this Games rank for New Zealand? Who have been the stand-outs? Who are the remaining medal chances?

More changes have been seen at the top levels of Netball New Zealand after a disastrous 2025. Its Chair and three Board Members have made the decision to step down. Sports reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Lisa Owen.

Outgoing Netball New Zealand chair Matt Whineray regrets the way they communicated with the public during the drawn out Silver Ferns coaching saga. Whineray is ending his eight-year tenure alongside three others at board level. The governing body came under scrutiny last year for their handling of the standing down, and eventual re-instatement, of Dame Noeline Taurua. Whineray told Mike Hosking they had the right intentions. He says they were trying to balance the obligations they have with the need to keep people informed, but they know their communication could be better.
