Werribee has moved a step closer to finalising its 2020 VFL football department, with respected Hampden FN League coach and mentor Mathew Buck joining the club as a Development Coach.

Jake Riccardi’s AFL dream was realised last night when the 20-year-old key forward was selected by Greater Western Sydney Giants with pick 51 in the 2019 NAB AFL National Draft.

The Werribee Football Club advises that Jack Fitzpatrick has accepted a new coaching opportunity for the 2020 season with the Western Bulldogs AFLW program.

In Mark ‘Choco’ Williams’ first season at the helm, Werribee shot up the ladder, won a final, got within a kick of a preliminary final, produced the J.J Liston Trophy and Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal winners, and as if that wasn’t enough, had a VFL-high five players named in the Team of the Year. Will the club’s 2019 success story continue at the AFL Drafts?

Werribee has bolstered its coaching ranks ahead of the 2020 VFL season by locking in NAB League and Vic Metro assistant Tom Perrett as the club’s new Backline & Defensive Coach.

Werribee’s list for season 2020 has begun taking shape with more than half of this year’s playing group already locked in. Catch up on all the off-season signatures in the 2020 Re-Signing Hub.
