Club President Martin Carter, along with premiership heroes from Werribee’s 1993 and 2024 successes, will take part in the flag unfurling ceremony at 12:45pm, before the first bounce at 1:05pm.

Speaking after the 2024 Grand Final victory on the historical night, Carter said “It’s a 31-year overnight success. It has been a long time coming for the people of Werribee, anyone that’s had anything to do with it, whether it be small or big in their eyes, they’re part of it.

“This is for the Werribee Football Club and the Werribee community.”

Werribee’s first premiership came in 1993 under playing coach Donald McDonald. The club finished second on the ladder but needed a Jack Aziz match-winning goal in the Preliminary Final to make the decider. A dominant performance grand final day saw a 42-point Werribee victory over Port Melbourne.

The 2024 premiership ended a 31-year drought. After falling short in 2023, despite a club-record 17-game winning streak, Werribee under first-year coach Jimmy Allan defeated Southport in an all-standalone Grand Final. Trailing by 19 points in the third quarter, Werribee stormed home to secure a thrilling six-point victory.
