Marcelle Geljon will play her 200th game for the club at home against the Cobras in their round 10 clash of the Ballarat Football Netball League A-grade competition.
Geljon, 41, said she feels honoured to be able to reach the achievement.
"It's really amazing, this club has given me so much and it feels great to have played so many games for the Roos," she said.
Coming to the club in 1999, Geljon said East Point has become her second family and is excited to see her children grow at the club.
"It feels like my second home... I'm not from Ballarat, I grew up in the country so to come to Ballarat and find a community at this club has been amazing. I've met some lifelong friends through the club and now I'm hoping my kids will continue on the same path as I did."
Now having reached the 200-game mark, Geljon revealed she will retire at seasons end after 13 campaigns with the Roos. With East Point sitting on top of the ladder, she said going out with a premiership would be the perfect end to her time with the club.
