It was a massive day at Western Park on Saturday as three stars of the Warragul Industrials Football Netball Club reached significant milestones against Nar Nar Goon.

Luke Walker played the 350th game of his glittering career – with his main stints at Pakenham, Kooweerup and now the Dusties – while Shane Brewster and Will Gibson chalked up their 250th games for the club.

Brewster is heading steadily towards 400 career games, after making the move to Warragul after winning premierships at Narre Warren.

Walker’s former teammates, Mitch Collins, Paul Gramc and Cory Lenders made surprise appearances, with Collins making the trip from Noosa for the big occasion.
