Louis Pinnuck is back for a 10th season while Myles McCluggage is hoping to backup a strong first season at Werribee in the Victorian Football League.
The pair are the latest re-signings for the Tigers, who have managed to keep their core group together.
Pinnuck comes off his best season statistics wise.
Pinnuck added another 16 games to his tally in 2025, taking his total to 123, which places him as the 13th most capped player in the club’s history.
He now joins Dom Brew as one of two Werribee players set to play their tenth season with the club in 2026.
Across the 2025 season, Pinnuck featured across his usual half-back role as well as on the wing and was one of the club’s most reliable ball users.
He averaged a career-high 21.9 disposals, 9.3 marks, which ranked third in the competition among players who played ten or more games, and six rebound 50s per game. His consistency across the year was reflected with another top ten finish in Werribee’s best and fairest count.
“The Werribee Football Club is my home. I’ve spent my whole adult life here so far, and I absolutely love the club and its people. I’m so excited to see what we can achieve in 2026,” Pinnuck said.
After an impressive first year at VFL level, Myles McCluggage will return to Werribee.
McCluggage joined Werribee after an outstanding year with South Warrnambool in the Hampden Football Netball League, where he earned Team of the Year honours, brought up his 50th senior game, and celebrated a premiership.
It followed his junior years through the GWV Rebels in 2021 and 2022 before he began his senior career with the Roosters.
McCluggage earned his VFL debut in round one against Southport on the Gold Coast, one of nine debutants to pull on the Werribee jumper in the season opener.
Playing on the wing, he finished with nine disposals and four clearances.
He went on to play 16 straight games in his debut season, missing only Werribee’s final two matches through a back injury.
Across his 16 games, McCluggage averaged 9.6 disposals, 3.3 marks and 3.1 clearances while also booting four goals.
He put together several strong performances across the season, including a career-high 16 disposals in Werribee’s round six win over Frankston to go with five inside 50s and four marks.
McCluggage said he really enjoyed my first year at Werribee.
“The way everyone welcomed me into the club was awesome,” he said.
“It’s a privilege to be part of such a great club, and myself, as well as the rest of the boys, are really excited to give it another crack in 2026.”
