Ex-Falcons returning after impressing in '22

28 October 2022

Several of Werribee’s brightest young prospects have re-committed for a second season at Avalon Airport Oval.  

Noah Gribble, Matt Keast, Flynn Young and Gennaro Bove all joined the club for 2022, straight from the Geelong Falcons.

Gribble played 11 VFL games this past season and had no trouble finding the football averaging 17.4 disposals per outing.

Keast showed promise in nine matches after first cracking the team in round seven while Young earned a final round debut against the Northern Bullants and finished the match with a couple of goals.

Bove spent much of the year working his way back to full fitness following offseason shoulder surgery but has impressed with his character and work ethic.

“It’s great to have these young Ex-Geelong Falcons players re-commit for 2023, all four showed a lot of promise in their first season with the club,” football manager Mark Micallef said.

“Noah made his debut for the club in 2021 and played some good footy this year while Keasty was a bit of a surprise packet debuting mid-year and looking more than up to the level with some nice performances, primarily playing on a wing.

“Flynn was invited to our trial day and immediately caught our eye, he has some impressive traits which he displayed for Grovedale before being rewarded with a VFL debut.

“Gennaro is a high character individual and we’re excited to see what he can offer as small forward or high half-forward with a full preseason under his belt.”
