Ebery, who lives at Castlemaine, won the 1949 Ballarat Football League best and fairest when it was known as The Courier Trophy.
He is one of eight surviving members of the team, with Les Borrack, Len Templar, Max Lyle, Frank and Dinny Murphy, Doug Dench and Alan Fyffe – as well as trainer Bill Dunstan and mascot Colin Holloway.
Redan is having four reunions in one, with the day also focusing on the 1946 and 1976 senior premierships, and 1952 reserves premiership.
Jack Atkinson, who went on to play with Richmond in the VFL, is the last surviving member of the 1946 team.
The event was to have been at the City Oval, but the Redan v Ballarat game has been transferred.
Redan has already started planning a reunion dinner for the 1975, 1976 and 1977 premierships for next year.
