The Collingwood Magpies will withdraw from Super Netball after the 2023 season, a week after the club’s shock announcement that it was reviewing its netball program.
A statement released on Thursday confirmed the withdrawal, and while the club conceded it “could have run a better netball program”, it cited the sport’s financial woes and ongoing pay disputes as a major reason it was walking away.Getty
“Throughout this process, we met with Netball Australia and SSN on multiple occasions to explore potential solutions. The challenges Netball Australia has experienced and continues to experience in terms of profitability combined with the current impasse in regard to finalising the TPA and CPA, played a key role in our decision-making.”
Addressing players and staff about last week, Kelly said the club had officially placed its netball arm under review, with a decision on the future of the program expected in the coming weeks.Netball Australia said it had been informed of the decision on Thursday, and that negotiations were under way with various interested parties to take Collingwood’s spot in the league.
“In recent times it had become clear that Collingwood’s priorities had shifted away from netball to focus on its core business of football,” she said.
