Encyclopedia
The 2009 ANZ Championship season was the second season of the ANZ Championship
, commencing on 4 April 2009. The 2009 season comprised 69 matches played over 17 weeks. The format of the competition was unchanged from last year, starting with a 14-week round robinfollowed by a three-week finals series. After a very hectic transfer season
, teams were confirmed and the competition began.
The top four teams from the round-robin stage progressed to the finals stage. The Melbourne Vixens
finished the round robin as minor premiers, followed by the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic, Adelaide Thunderbirds
and Southern Steel
.
The grand final was played on Sunday 26 July at Hisense Arena in Melbourne, contested between the Vixens and Thunderbirds. The Melbourne Vixens emerged as champions for the 2009 season after defeating the Thunderbirds by 54–46.
Round 1 matchups in 2008 were identical to the round 14 matchups in 2009. In addition, in trans-Tasman matches the home and away teams are switched around from 2008 to ensure that the teams get to play home and away games over two years: e.g., the Swifts hosted the Magic in round 3 in 2008, but the same game in 2009 will be hosted by the Magic. The 2009 season featured a "Rivalry Round" in Week 13, in which all matches were contested between teams from Australia and New Zealand. Round 4 matchups in 2008 were identical to the matchups in "Rivalry Round". The goals scored by each country were accumulated, with Australia winning the inaugural Rivalry Round Trophy.
The 2008 Off season, saw franchises working hard to sign up the best talent in the ANZ competition, while trying to remain under the Salary Cap. Several teams including the Southern Steel
, Waikato/BOP Magic and the Queensland Firebirds
looked like teams that improved their rosters the most, joining the NSW Swifts, Adelaide Thunderbirds
and the Melbourne Vixens
with potential to win the second edition of the competition. The Steel went out to sign all the old guns, picking up its former Southern Sting
star duo of former Silver Ferns
Adine Wilson
and Donna Wilkins
, while also inking international defender Sheryl Scanlan
. The Waikato/BOP Magic added to its already five current internationals players by putting star backline player Leana de Bruin
in the mix also. The Canterbury Tactix signed impressive defender Sonia Mkoloma
from the Central Pulse
, with the Wellington based Pulse, just replacing her with another talent, Jamaican goal keeper Althea Byfield
. Things were calmer in Australia, the Queensland Firebirds
remained strong on paper, resigning 2008 MVP Romelda Aiken
, English import Tamsin Greenway
and Australian stars Lauren Nourse
and Laura Geitz
. The West Coast Fever
could well of bought the best future talent in the game, signing midcourters Madison Browne
and Shae Bolton
from the Melbourne Vixens
to bolster their midcourt.
