“It came out of a couple of conversations that I had about netball needing a signature moment, and you don’t want to do what you’ve done before,” Ellis said. “This is my big dream, when we get down to doing a bit more planning and understanding what’s viable, then we’ll worry about who we do pit against where,” she said. “I’m not in the business of going, ‘oh yeah, this is a fight’, I’m in the business of relationships and understanding how we can really set ourselves up for success beyond 2027.
While a bargaining agreement was struck between Netball Australia and Super Netball players last year, the Diamonds are currently negotiating their own deal covering the national team program.
