Newly rebranded West Coast Fever look to reverse curse and win back fans

The team is based in Perth and one of the teams favored to win the 2019 season. Traditionally, West Coast Fever has been a lower ranking team thus not making them an obvious favorite. But with their recent rebranding, they’re hoping to become a strong force in the league. Having finished 2nd in the previous season, this is feasible.

Despite the statistics and their troubled past, West Coast Fever have the players and the determination to be the Super Netball 2019 winners. The 2018 so far was their best season as 5 of their players and their coach won postseason awards. The players to keep an eye on this season are:

  • Jessica Antiss (C, WD)
  • Jhaniele Fowler (GS).  

Melbourne Vixens looking to bounce back and re-establish themselves as powerhouses

Melbourne Vixens was founded in 2008 and completes the top 3 teams to win the 2019 season of Super Netball. They have successfully settled into the league having finished in the top 5 in the first seasons. Having come so close and loosing in the grand final in 2017, they hope to make amends this season by bringing the trophy home.

If the Melbourne team can learn from their past mistakes, they can successfully bounce back and re-establish themselves as a netball powerhouse. The following players can help them achieve this:

  • Liz Watson (WA, C)
  • Joanna Weston (GD, GK, WD)
  • Tegan Philip (GA, GS).
