WERRIBEE was well in control of the 1993 VFA grand final against Port Melbourne in the early stages of the last quarter, but Frank Lesiputty was in no mood for premature celebrations.

The resolute centre half-back knew the pain of losing a grand final, having been part of the Werribee outfit that lost to Dandenong by nine points in 1991.

So when 19-year-old teammate Peter Williams began to let his excitement get the better of him, Lesiputty was having none of it.

“I barrelled him,” says Lesiputty with a laugh. “Because I had lost in ’91, I was so determined to win and Peter started laughing and enjoying it. So I told him, ‘Pull your head in and get on your man’.”

Williams, now a teacher, confirms the story.

They have even brought back the classic jumper as part of the festivities!

Looks good. One of my first years following Port Melbourne. It was a fiery day, with Jack Aziz causing some excitement in the goal-square.

I seem to remember confusion as to the siren sounding, with supporters running onto the ground early.
