Warrack Eagles's Sarah Spicer reflects on 250 games after star performance against Nhill

The milestone alone wasn't enough for the star, who took out best-on-court honours in her side's 31-point win over the Tigers.

When asked about the milestone, the three-time Hatcher Medallist admitted she was "proud for sure".

"I'm just happy to go out there and play another game and we had a good win and to be there with the girls," Spicer said.

"I probably didn't think it was as big a deal as what everyone made it out to be, but that's probably the older generation too.

"This day and age to play for one club and to play that many games, I guess that's a pretty big deal, but I certainly hadn't thought about it that much."

Spicer is correct; in an era where sportsmen and women change clubs as often as one changes their clothes, being a one-club player with 250 games is becoming a rarity.

Spicer believes her late father Brian who played 300 football games for Warrack would be pretty pleased with her loyalty to the Eagles.

"I know dad, he's passed away, but he was a big one for that, being loyal to a club and staying with a club, but I reckon he'd be pretty happy," she said.

Spicer has been at Warrack her whole life and her reason for sticking with the club is simple.

"You stay at a club when you love it don't you?" She said.

"I love playing for Warrack, I live in Warrack, I have lots of great friends and I've met them through netball.

"Even people that aren't from Warrack that have come and played for the club have become lifelong friends.

"(I'm) pretty lucky to be in such a good community and feel really lucky to be around some really great people."

It would take too long to list all of Spicer's individual achievements in her career, however among them sit three Heather Hatcher Medals (WNL best and fairest), numerous Notting Medals (Warrack's best and fairest) and multiple Wimmera interleague appearances.

Despite all this Spicer views her three premierships with the Eagles as her standout successes.

"Definitely premierships for sure (are highlights)," she said.

"In my time we've won three and we've lost a few as well.

"They're the highlights 100%, that's why you play.

"When you win it's so much more fun."

The Eagles are currently sitting pretty in second, behind the unbeaten Southern Mallee Giants in first place.

The club has copped its fair share of injuries and according to Spicer will have their depth tested over the remainder of the season.

Spicer doesn't know how many seasons she has left in her but hopes to just keep playing while she's enjoying it and not getting injured.

She hopes to one day see her two children pull on her beloved Eagles' colours.

"Our kids are four and six and they're doing Net Set Go and Auskick, but it would be great to see them play for Warrack one day," she said.

"It's hard to know where footy and netball will be in five years time, let alone ten years time when they might be playing, so I just hope Warrack Eagles are still around when they play and hopefully we can be a part of keeping that together."

One thing Spicer does know for sure is that if her daughter plays senior netball for the Eagles, it won't be with her talented mother alongside her on the court.

"100% I can already tell you I will not be still playing when she is," she said.

"As lovely as that would be, I needed to have kids younger."
