About this site

The Milestones and Misses website was set up in December 2015 to celebrate the achievements of sportspeople mainly in the Women’s National Basketball League (WNBL) and Australian Rules Football (AFL and AFLW). The articles published on Milestones and Misses aim to enable readers to gain a greater appreciation of the sportsperson’s journey during their career, both the milestones they have achieved and the setbacks they have overcome.

Articles have been published on Milestones and Misses to celebrate WNBL players:

The comprehensive guide provides details on the player movement and main rosters from a league wide perspective and then looks at these two aspects for each of the eight WNBL clubs. The club section includes profiles on each of the players on their main roster and a profile on their Head Coach.
