THE Werribee Football Club will begin its 2024 Smithy’s VFL campaign with an away trip against Geelong. 

The Big W will travel south to the Cattery on Saturday, March 23, with the first bounce at 2:05pm. 

After four practice matches heading into the season, this game marks the first official game under the helm of head coach Jimmy Allan. 

The remainder of the VFL fixture will be released early next week, with all teams to play 18 matches across 21 rounds.

"Facing off against an AFL-affiliated side presents a significant challenge, but it's precisely the kind of test we relish," remarked Werribee Football Manager Ash Collins.

The Werribee Football Club is thrilled to announce that CB Motor Group is returning as the club’s major sponsor in 2024, marking an incredible partnership of 25 years.

Werribee Football Club President Martin Carter hailed the milestone as a truly amazing achievement. “The entire Ballan family, headed by Tino and Robyn and including dealer principal Paul and partner Simone, have been an integral force behind Werribee’s performance both on and off the field.”

“Whilst our football club has witnessed changes in presidents, coaches and captains over the past 25 years, one constant has been the indelible relationship with the Ballan family,” Carter added.
