But for Janene Cass, it's a distinction of another kind that makes her most proud and best sums up the esteem in which she's held at the Demons and across the HDFNL.
"I'm pretty proud to have been a player at the one club for 18 years," she said this week.
"And a lot of that's to do with the people I've been around at White Hills."
The stellar Demons defender will notch another honour on Saturday against North Bendigo when she plays her 250th game for the Demons.
Speaking to White Hills people about Janene Cass, they talk of her selflessness, respectfulness and passion for the club.
Her first-class on-court record, highlighted by premierships in 2000-03 and 2005-07, A-grade club best and fairests in 1999, 2000, '07, '12, '13 and '15, and a HDFNL league best and fairest win in 2000 (an award she finished runner-up in 2009 and '13), is matched by an impeccable record of service at club and committee level.
She coached A-grade in 2007, '11 and '13 and also had stints in charge of the B-grade (2013-14), B-reserve (2017) and primary (2014-15) teams.
Cass has served as a HDNA (now HDFNL) league delegate, Demons netball secretary, publicity officer, vice-president and has been president the last two years.
Netball has always been a family affair for Cass, who has been greatly supported over the years at games by her mother Bernadette and husband Justin.
Her children Siarne and Maeve have followed in their mum's footsteps by taking up the sport in recent years.
She insists 2017 will be her last season on the netball court.
"It's time to give the young kids a go because they're the future of our club," she said.
"If you speak to Justin he would say I have said that for the last six years.
"But honestly this will be my last year, just because I have young kids and I want to be able to follow my young son Isaiah, who started playing soccer and do things with him.
"Having decided that at the start of the year, I have that relief of being able to enjoy this year and that's taken the pressure off."
Cass has more often than not been at her best when it's counted most, evidenced by her five White Hills' best player in finals awards.
She nominated skilful goaler Michelle Atherton, Zenda McConnell, current A-grade coach Nadine Anderson - and from the newer breed - Lauren Bowles as the pick of the White Hills players she had played alongside.
In terms of toughest opponents, three players stood out for varying reasons, headed by former Mount Pleasants star and current Golden Square goal shooter Gabe Richards.
"I'm a bit of a whole picture person and look not just at talent, but sportsmanship and other things, but Gabe would be my toughest opponent," she said.
"And that's probably a bit of admiration for her coming from basketball to netball as well.
"Obviousy I have a bit of a nemesis in Lou Dupuy (Colbinabbin), I always seem to come up against her and it seems like she towers over me.
"Earlier on in the picture, (Lockington-Bamawm United’s) Rylea Dullard (now Cuttriss) was always one I enjoyed playing against."
As her final year continues to play out, Cass says there are no plans to end her involvement around the club at season's end, or anytime soon.
"This being my second year as president, I'm looking forward to taking a step back from those time consuming roles and do more of the umpiring and things like that," she said.
"I'll certainly be out helping around the club and would be happy to do some kind of mentoring role."
"It will always be a part of our family and I'll always be involved in some capacity."
In other games this round, Lockington-Bamawm United hosts Huntly, Colbinabbin clashes with Heathcote, and Leitchville-Gunbower meets Elmore.
