FOUR PRACTICE MATCHES TO PREPARE WERRIBEE FOR SEASON

WERRIBEE is gearing up for an exciting pre-season, scheduled to take on crosstown rivals Williamstown, as well as the Coburg Lions, Cats, and Bulldogs, as the club ups its preparations for the 2024 Smithy’s VFL season.

The Big W’s first encounter will be at Deakin University in Geelong, where it will go head-to-head with Williamstown on February 23rd. Under the Friday night lights, the game will kick off at 6:30PM, giving the boys their first chance to press their case for Round 1 selection in front of new Senior Coach Jimmy Allan, who will take charge for the first time.

Werribee’s next match will take place as part of the league’s second running of the Victorian standalone carnival, on the 2nd of March. Coburg, Frankston, Port Melbourne, Northern Bullants, Williamstown and Werribee will all come together at Frankston's Kinetic Stadium for a triple header.

In the third clash of the day, Werribee will take on Coburg at 3:45pm. Fast forward six days, and once again under the Friday night lights, the team will return to Deakin Stadium to face Geelong, with the first bounce at 6:30pm in the Cats' hometown.

For the final tune-up before the club’s Round 1 clash with Geelong on March 28th, Werribee will return to the west of Melbourne, with a matchup against Footscray at Whitten Oval on March 16th, where proceedings kick off at 12:00pm.

CB Motor Group Celebrating 25 Years as Major Sponsor

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.”

List Nears Completion with Latest Signings

As we eagerly count down to the first official practice matches of 2024 with just under 50 days to go, Werribee is thrilled to unveil another injection of youth geared up to take on the upcoming VFL campaign. 

In the latest batch of signings, Werribee has added defenders Stefan Radovanovic and Riley Bice, and versatile forward Jamie Quick.

Radovanovic emerges as a key asset to strengthen the club’s backline, at 191cm, he has the versatility to match up against a range of opponents. Radovanovic has VFL experience, tallying 27 games for Carlton Reserves across 2021-22, including every game in the 2022 campaign before missing all of last season through injury. 

Jamie Quick follows in the footsteps of Jack Riding last year by signing for Werribee from North Ballarat. Standing at 185cm tall, Quick can find the goals from anywhere and led North Ballarat’s goal kicking the past two seasons, kicking 51 goals last year, including 12 goals in their finals campaign. Quick joins Werribee with a year of VFL exposure, with the former Geelong listed player earning five games for the Cats in 2023, where he averaged a goal a game.

Riley Bice, a former Murray Bushranger, joins Werribee following an impressive stint for Ovens and Murray powerhouse Albury. Bice’s 2023 campaign was capped off by winning the Tigers’ best and fairest, following two previous runner-up finishes. Similar to Radovanovic and Quick, Bice arrives with VFL experience, featuring in a number of games for GWS in 2022.

Werribee football manager Ash Collins said the club has added some promising talent and addressed key needs with the three new recruits.

“We’re delighted to have these three guys join the club,” Collins said.

“We’re excited to bring in Stefan’s experience and leadership depth. We have always rated Stefan very highly. He is extremely dedicated to his craft, and we believe he will fit in very well with our defensive structure.”

“Jamie is a promising, versatile forward who is hard at the footy and has been able contribute goals at all levels he has played at. We feel he can compliment our key forwards really well.”

“Riley is an exciting prospect from Albury: We’ve tracked him for quite some time and believe he has damaging attributes to contribute immediately.”
