AN OFF-SEASON spent hauling herself up Tower Hill – with her husband and three children in tow – has paid off for Wedderburn netballer Maddison Postle.
She returned to the court for the first time since 2022 to win the team’s best player award in round one of the North Central league season.
Postle missed last season after the birth of her third child Clancey, and running up the hill time and again was part of her arduous fitness regime.
Wedderburn started the season with a strong 68-27 win over St Arnaud, with premiership coach Meg Lowry also making her return after having a baby.
Postle’s modest response to winning the best-on-court nod – “I think it was a bit of a welcome back, not so much a reflection of my game”
“I did put in quite a lot of effort to regain my fitness, supported by my husband to get out of the house,” she said.
Postle’s husband and training partner is Redbacks football legend Adam Postle, who is closing in on his 300th club game. His team also had a win on the weekend, proving the hard work over summer was worth the effort.
