Former captain Daisy Pearce served as an assistant coach while pregnant. Elise O'Dea and Shelley Scott were co-captains, with Sarah Lampard and Karen Paxman in the leadership group.
The team finished as the fourth best side in the competition overall, but due to a conference system - last round loss and a thumping to Adelaide also finished fourth in their group and missed out on finals for the third consecutive year.
