COUNTRY CHAMPS
Anthony Belcher is carried off by teammates through a guard of honour of both teams at Golden Square on April 17.
Anthony Belcher, 38, played his 200th senior game for Gisborne Football Netball Club on April 17. A Macedon boy who started off playing juniors for the Cats, Anthony joined the Bulldogs at age 16 to play U18s then made the seniors two years later.
He is now the oldest and longest-running player on the team. Describing footy as “more of an addiction than true love”, Anthony said his desire to win premierships is what has kept him on the field and he could not have lasted so long without the support of others. See the club's tribute on page 31
