The Australian netball team, the Diamonds, started well in Glasgow.

The Diamonds are a very successful team, but some fans in Australia were disappointed because they could not watch the games on TV.

The Diamonds won two games, but they were only shown on the internet, not on regular TV.

The games against Tonga and England were only available on the 7Plus streaming service.

On Sunday, the main TV channel showed a movie and a drama series instead of the netball game.

The Diamonds' games are available on 7Plus, but not on regular TV.

The main TV channel told viewers that the Diamonds' games were on 7Plus.

After the swimming events finished, the Australia-England netball game was shown on delay on the main TV channel.

Some of the Diamonds players were told about the TV situation after their game.

Goalkeeper Courtney Bruce said it was disappointing that the games were not on TV.

Bruce said she hopes the team can be on TV soon because they want to be seen by all their fans.

New player Jamie-Lee Price hopes fans will keep speaking out about the issue.

The game on Sunday was between the last two Commonwealth Games champions.

Jamie-Lee Price said maybe if fans complain, they can get the games on TV.

She said it would be great to have more people watching their sport.

Even though the games were not on TV, the team feels supported by their fans in Australia and in Glasgow.

Courtney Bruce said the team feels the support of their fans, even from back home.

The Diamonds' next game is against Malawi in two days.

The team feels supported by the fans who came to watch them in Glasgow.

A spokesperson for Channel Seven said they are showing all the events on their streaming service and on TV.

The spokesperson said they have 15 live channels on 7plus Sport so people can watch all the events for free.
