Weddings, engagements, baby announcements. You name it. This off-season may have had less international netball to watch, but the players have been busy!

Marquee signings like Jhaniele Fowler-Nembhard, Maddy Proud and Gina Crampton will be missing in action from the 2025 Super Netball season as they prep for motherhood.

We list all of the happy news and discuss which team will be the most impacted by their absence. That and more, on our first episode of 2025!

The NSW Swifts have given their fans a Christmas gift by announcing the news of Verity Simmons' signing.

It was this time last year that the two-time premiership winner announced her retirement from netball after 11 seasons at the top, instead choosing to pursue AFL Women's footy with the West Coast Eagles.

Now, the NSW junior will switch back to her first love, filling the spot of pregnant Swifts midcouter Maddy Proud for the 2025 season and feeding New Zealand import Grace Nweke.

We caught up with Vez to hear how it all came about on the day of her signing — turns out it all started with some rumours and a Facebook message.

The controversial super shot has made its way to the UK giving us PTSD from its badly received introduction to Super Netball in 2020.

Plus, what do we think about the Netball World Cup being held every two years?

Kate and Britt discuss the good, the bad and the ugly of 2024, as they sign out for the year.
