What happened: Carley Ernst will play her 300th WNBL game on Saturday when the Southside Melbourne Flyers meet the Geelong Venom. The league marked the milestone with a congratulatory message before tip-off.

Why it matters: Few WNBL players reach 300 games, and Ernst gets there in Southside colors early in WNBL27, the club's first season under Sam Mackinnon.

What to watch: Next is the result against Geelong and the stat line Ernst posts in her 300th appearance.
