Werribee will meet Southport in the 2024 Smithy’s VFL Grand Final at IKON Park.
Werribee returns to the grand final for the second straight season, with the first bounce at 3:10pm this Sunday.
The Tigers began their finals campaign with a qualifying final win over Geelong. On Saturday in the do or die preliminary final they overcame an 11-point deficit at three-quarter time to overrun Brisbane by 20 points.
This marks the first time in club history that Werribee has reached back-to-back VFL Grand Finals, another accolade to add to clinching the first minor premiership in 19 years.
Southport advanced through to the Grand Final from outside the top four. This week will be the third consecutive week of travel to Melbourne, after a semi final win over Geelong and a 10-point preliminary final win over Footscray.
The two sides have faced each other twice this season with one win a piece and the two matches both being decided by under a kick. Werribee came out on top in Round 2 away at Southport, with Angus Hicks kicking the winner in his club debut. Southport evened the score with a narrow win at Avalon Airport Oval in the return meeting.
