The Back Court is netball, but not the top of the line elite stuff. We’re talking about real netball. Deep heat, dodgy knees, last minute fill-ins and all the other unfiltered realities of playing for fun. The Back Court combines humorous observations from the world of netball, relatable anecdotes, and community stories with a tiny hint of news and analysis. With our trademark irreverence, we chronicle netball as it really is, a blend of laughs, mishaps, internal politics, and the unique camaraderie that comes with post-match pints. This is netball your Nanna wouldn’t like.

    Accidental Journalism

    The Constellation Cup returns to its rightful owners, but the Diamonds not-being-able-to-win-a-game-in-New-Zealand hoodoo remains.  Former Melbourne Mavericks defender of the year Olivia Lewis is on deck to give some of the best analysis around, while she and Matt discuss Gretel Bueta return to the court, which Gold Coast based tournament is on during Schoolies and we run our eye over the upcoming Netball Australia awards!

    I'm No Export

    Pack your brooms, it’s a clean sweep.  As expected, the Diamonds went 3 for 3 against South Africa and importantly gave out some much-needed debuts!  New Zealand are next, and God knows they’ll be keen to just start playing some netball as the Noeline drama rolls on.  Plus, Julie Fitzgerald has landed on her feet and we discuss why there isn't a 5th game in the Con Cup.

    A Bit Hoarse

    We're back (again), and this time it's the real thing. 45 minutes of pure netball chatter. There's plenty to chat about too. With the Noeline drama over in New Zealand, the Aussie Young Guns bringing home another trophy, Netball's Olympics push and the Diamonds three test series against South Africa, there's no shortage of things for The Back Court to banter about. Oh, and we've got a new host, with SSN star turned AFLW prospect Olivia Lewis joining Matt in the hotseat! So buckle up and enjoy the ride! We want to hear from you!

    Signing Window Review - Queensland Firebirds

    And just like that, the signing window reviews are over. We've finally arrived at the Queensland Firebirds, who spent their signing window raiding the best talent from the netball cupboard that is New Zealand. Will the additions of Gordon, Selby-Rickit and Jackson help the Firebirds surge up the table, or will they remain rooted to the bottom? Listen to find out what Matt and Liv think about it all.

    Signing Window Review - Melbourne Mavericks

    The Mavericks have ripped it up and decided to start again. The SSN's newest club have just 4 of their original players remaining on their list, but that doesn't mean they're not making strides. Liv and Matt discuss the signings of Price, Hinchliffe, Batcheldor and MacDonald and try to figure out where Molly Jovic fits in all of this on the penultimate episode of our SSN Signing Window Review series.

    Signing Window Review - GIANTS

    Souness. Adamson. Austin. Watson. Stewart. There are plenty of new names entering the GIANTS set-up for 2026, but will it be enough to cover the losses of Harten, Price and Fitzgerald? Matt and Liv answer those burning questions - and more- in the next instalment of their Signing Window Review. We want to hear from you!
