2023 Australian Netball Awards

Fowler actually didn’t have a great year. She was solid of course but some poor decision making in the closing minutes of games cost fever those close games in 2023. That would have meant she wouldn’t have got the points she has in the past.

Difficult for Koenen in a team that struggled. My next pick would be Cardwell but she also suffered from some patchy form in some games, or poor decision making.

I don’t feel Wallam was the best GS of the competition but I can see how she would have got the votes for this team.

Unfortunately since the Wallam debacle. netball has has no good press. The MSM just like to report the drama and not on the sport itself.
All the comments and reactions I see of the laughing emoji makes me sad that the rest of Australia think netball is a crap sport and not worth watching.

What I think needs to happen is NA need to pay a PR firm to fix the sports image. If they can do that then hopefully more sponsors can come on board, that way the players can get a bigger cut. Right now it’s not feasible if the sport is tanking.

I think it would have to be their first year in a major league (NSL/ANZP/SSN), although it doesn’t specify that anywhere.

If they don’t ask for it now, then when? It seems NA is always in debt :unsure:

Maybe players are sick of their sport being constantly in debt, and are wondering why?
Completely understandable if the sport was in debt because players were being paid too much. That doesn’t seem the case.

Chelsea Pitman gave a good speel on her insta story. With so many opportunities to play in different codes and make money, why would any young aspiring female athlete want to chose netball, with all this drama going on?
