The major-semi final saw the West Coast Fever steam-roll the Melbourne Vixens to be the first team through to the 2022 Super Netball Grand Final. Meanwhile, Giants Netball made a huge statement in their minor-semi final win over the brave Collingwood Magpies, who were sent packing from the competition on Sunday afternoon.

We analyse the results from both games, looking at how the Fever were able to dismantle the Vixens, the impact coach Dan Ryan has had on the team this year; and the impact of Maddie Hay who was instrumental in the Giants success against the Magpies,

Semi-Finals tips (1:27:12)

Netball Australia made headlines for all the wrong reasons last week after announcing the sport was more than $4million dollars in debt as they tried to defend their their decision to sell the 2022 Super Netball Grand Final to the highest bidder; the winner, the Western Australian Government.

Thankfully, the announcement was not enough to sour the tremendous netball played by the athletes in round 13, with only 12 points separating all eight clubs across four thrilling games. With the top three spots on the ladder locked in, it will all come down to the final round of the regular season to see who manages to snare that elusive fourth position and play finals netball.

There's just two weeks left of the 2022 Super Netball regular season and the ladder continues to be a hot topic of discussion, as multiple upsets and unpredictable results ensure there are still two finals spots up for grabs.

Our talking points from RD12 include: the Firebirds fight to stay in the hunt, the Thunderbirds' decision to bench Lenize Potgieter and Steph Wood's niggling knee injury.
