Werribee made a successful return to field from another two-week hiatus with a come from behind victory over the Northern Bullants in Round 16.  The Big W trailed all day at Preston City Oval before coming home with a wet sail, piling on eight final quarter goals to win by 30 points and break a run of two consecutive losses.

After consecutive losses Werribee will look to get its season back on track with a trip to Preston to face a much improved Northern Bullants.

Each year the Werribee Football Club welcomes a new crop of young men, most of them joining us straight out of the NAB League or after relocating from the country for a crack at state-league footy.

With the fifth Victorian lockdown ending at midnight tonight the VFL season has been given the green light to resume in the state, following the second COVID enforced layoff of 2021.
