While Werribee’s VFL campaign has come to an end, plenty of Werribee-listed players remain in action across local competitions as finals fast approach. Read how the nine Werribee players fared in the 20th edition of the 2025 Weekly Player Report.

Western Football Netball League:

Harry Maguire - Hoppers Crossing
Maguire was best on ground for Hoppers Crossing in their 26-point loss to Yarraville Seddon. Playing a key forward role, he produced a standout display with 17 disposals, nine contested possessions and seven marks, three of them contested, while booting five goals from multiple opportunities. With the Warriors holding fourth spot with one game to play, his form will be crucial as they look to replicate last year’s effort of winning the premiership from outside the top three.

Bellarine Football Netball League:

Luke Preece - Drysdale
Preece was best afield in Drysdale’s narrow seven-point loss to Barwon Heads, standing tall in defence with 22 disposals, 13 contested possessions and 10 marks, with nine of them intercept grabs. The result confirmed Drysdale’s fourth-place finish, setting up an elimination final against Anglesea this weekend where Preece’s defensive presence will be vital.

Goulburn Valley Football Netball League:

Dom Gugliotti - Mooroopna
Gugliotti continued his strong form despite Mooroopna’s 36-point defeat to Shepparton United. He collected 25 disposals at 80% efficiency, took eight marks, laid five tackles and clunked three intercept grabs to be named among the best. Sitting 10th on the ladder with one game to play, Mooroopna are out of finals contention, though Gugliotti has closed out his year with consistent impact.

Geelong Football Netball League:

Tylar Watts - Leopold
Watts played a key role in Leopold’s dominant 81-point victory over Grovedale, finishing with 17 disposals, 13 contested possessions and 22 hitouts, while also adding eight clearances, and a goal to earn a place in the best. Despite the impressive win, Leopold remain seventh, and as reigning premiers they now rely on other results in the final two rounds to sneak into finals.

Ballarat Football Netball League:

Isaac Nixon - Bacchus Marsh
Nixon impressed in Bacchus Marsh’s 19-point defeat to Sunbury, stuffing the stat sheet, racking up 22 disposals, 10 contested possessions, eight marks, five inside 50s, eight tackles and a goal. His influence around the ground was significant, and with the Cobras needing to win in a tight final round to keep their finals hopes alive, Nixon shapes as a key figure.

Northern Football Netball League:

Cam Wild - Hurstbridge
Wild was again a key contributor for Hurstbridge, named in the best as they edged out Montmorency by seven points. He gathered 19 disposals, with eight contested possessions, five clearances and six inside 50s, while also laying nine tackles. The win solidified Hurstbridge in fourth, setting up a final-round clash with the ladder leaders as a crucial tune-up before finals.

Ovens & Murray Football Netball League:

Jedd Longmire - Corowa-Rutherglen
Longmire was among Corowa-Rutherglen’s best in their 41-point defeat to North Albury, amassing 23 disposals, 13 contested possessions, and four clearances, while also keeping up his recent goal scoring form, kicking two goals. With the Roos sitting ninth and out of finals contention, Longmire’s form has been one of the few bright spots to finish the season.

Ray Murphy - Corowa-Rutherglen
Murphy also battled hard in the loss, finishing with 17 disposals, 11 contested possessions, seven tackles and three clearances. His effort and pressure around stoppages stood out, even as Corowa prepare to close out the year without a finals berth.

Essendon District Football League:

Hayden Gill - Deer Park
Gill couldn’t quite replicate his recent goal-scoring form but worked hard in Deer Park’s loss to Aberfeldie, finishing with 13 disposals, five contested possessions and four tackles. With the Lions locked into fourth place and guaranteed finals action, Gill will be an important presence in their September campaign.
