FIVE-TIME North Central Football League premiership player Adam Postle on Saturday joins an elite club at Wedderburn.
He will be only the third Redback to play 300 senior games.
The veteran defender who made his debut in 2007 “having a fly on the wing” will run out in the match against Donald at Donaldson Park and join two other club legends in the elite group.
In the side is expected to be senior game recordholder Danny Benaim while former president Andrew Lockhart will be at the boundary to welcome the 300-club’s newest member.
Postle has been regularly among the Redbacks’ best this season and at 39, has yet to set a retirement date from the game he took up as a youngster.
“I’ll just be glad when Saturday is over. People have been counting down to the day for so long,” he said. “I’m not one for all the attention. Playing is about the club and getting the job done on the ground.”
Postle’s commitment to the club over more than 20 years has already been praised by president Chris Hargreaves.
“Poss is a great clubman who has stayed with the Redbacks for his entire football career,” said Hargreaves.
“He has tasted the joys of premierships along with the tougher years and shown that red and black run through his veins.
“To notch up 300 senior games is a rare feat at Wedderburn and in the North Central league. Who better to be the next member of the special club than Poss.”
Ahead of the milestone game, Postle last week sat down with Benaim and Lockhart to talk about football, the Redbacks and life for a special Loddon Herald feature in today’s edition - See Page 23.
