OUR STORY In 1964, a group of Werribee s leading citizens answered the call from the VFA to field a team in the state s second-tier football competition. The four local clubs voted to put aside their rivalries and join forces, laying the foundation for a new team representing the City of Werribee. Fifty-three years later, Werribee once again has a team for its people, this time for the ever-expanding metropolis that is the City of Wyndham. Home is still Chirnside Park, but it too has transformed to become Avalon Airport Oval, a state-of-the-art sporting headquarters for the community. - 2 -

MARTIN CARTER Werribee President Aside from our club s beginnings in the season of 1965, there has never been a more exciting time in our history. We face the challenges of being a standalone team on the field, but we do so knowing we have incredible support off the field. As you will see and experience first-hand during the coming season, our facilities are second to none. Avalon Airport Oval @ Chirnside Park is something the whole community should be proud of. I invite you to join us as a member in 2018. It is a ride that will have its ups and downs, but sharing those is part of the experience. We are a club for the people of the City of Wyndham. I look forward to seeing you at the footy in 2018. JOHN LAMONT Werribee Senior Coach FROM THE INNER SANCTUM Every new football season brings expectations, and none more so than the 2018 season for our football club. This season brings new challenges and new dynamics to the equation. We have no AFL partner, only AFL opponents. We have a brilliant new facility that is the equal of anything on offer anywhere. We have a group of players hungry to wear the gold and black, support staff of the highest calibre, and a coaching panel dedicated and committed to building a successful team. We need your support, too. There is nothing better than a home crowd roaring its one-eyed support and riding every bump and tackle with you. Show your colours proudly and show your support. Come on the ground during games, have a kick, and have a listen in the huddle to what we are trying to achieve. It s our footy club, so join us in 2018 and be a part of the whole experience. - 4 -

WERRIBEE FC IN THE COMMUNITY We are proud of the fact we were the first VFL club to have a full-time Community Development Manager devising and delivering interactive programs across the City of Wyndham. Whether in schools, community groups, Auskick centres, and local junior sporting clubs or at community events, we are providing important participation programs and messages to a broad spectrum of the City of Wyndham s residents. We are constantly developing and refining our program base to engage more residents, many of whom have never had any contact with Australian Rules football. We are increasing our commitment to girls and women s football. Our focus is on the safety and wellbeing of all players. Regular clinics to instruct both players and coaches in the basics of collisions are a high priority along with the broader skills of the game. - 7 -
