“Collingwood Magpies Netball”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

Collingwood Magpies Netball is an Australian netball team in Melbourne which competes in the premier domestic league, Suncorp Super Netball. The team was founded in 2016, during the disbanding of the ANZ Championship. The Magpies are owned by the professional Australian Football League entity, the Collingwood Football Club. Home games are usually played at Melbourne Arena.

History

Following the dissolving of the trans-Tasman ANZ Championship competition in 2016, Netball Australia announced the creation of a new national Netball league, which would feature the five original Australian teams and three additional teams. In May 2016, Netball Australia confirmed that the Collingwood Football Club was one of three preferred license holders for the new teams.^[1]

Collingwood Magpies Netball was launched in September 2016 at the headquarters of the Collingwood Football Club, the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Centre. The new team had a distinct logo, different from the football team. Speaking at the launch, club President Eddie McGuire stated "this team is not an add on to our [football] program by any stretch. It has its own identity, its own high performance unit in its own right and our strategy is to get the best people and best players possible."^[2]

2017-20: Early years

The Magpies debuted in the 2017 Super Netball season. For the inaugural season, Madi Browne was appointed team captain under head coach Kristy Keppich-Birrell.^[2] The Magpies entered the league with a star-studded squad of former and existing Australia national team players, thanks mainly due to significant financial weight backing the team. Consequently, the Magpies were widely tipped by pundits to win the league.^[3] However, the team finished the regular season fourth (out of eight teams) on the ladder and lost their elimination final to Giants Netball by one goal.^[4] In the following season the Magpies struggled for wins and consistency. Prominent defender Sharni Layton announced her retirement and the club elected not to extend the contract of coach Kristy Keppich-Birrell, replacing her with former Swifts coach Rob Wright at the end of the season.^[5]

Franchise

Venues

For first two seasons in the competition, the Magpies shared home games between Melbourne Arena and Margaret Court Arena, though the club did not fixture any matches at the latter venue in 2019. It also invested in a Tasmanian partnership, which sees them play one home match a year at the Silverdome in Launceston.^[6] In 2019 they added another alternate home game, this time at Bendigo Stadium in regional Victoria.

List of captains

Collingwood's inaugural captain was Madi Browne, who led the team to a finals place in the inaugural season. The club became the first in the league's history to appoint co-captains, when English international Geva Mentor was appointed alongside Browne in 2019.^[7]

Players

Competitive record

Tasmanian Magpies

The club operates a reserves team, known as the Tasmanian Magpies, which play some matches in Tasmania and acts as a feeder team beneath the senior squad. The Tasmanian Magpies compete in the second-tier Australian Netball League and were established by the club in 2017.^[8] The squad is made up of a mixture of some of Tasmania’s most elite netballers as well as up to five Collingwood Magpies training partners.^[8]^[9] The team celebrated its inaugural premiership in 2018.^[10]
