We’re back to a full round of games after the Queen’s Birthday break last week and there’s a number of big changes coming through.
Anthony Rocca is back for West Preston-Lakeside’s big clash with Eltham. The big forward hasn’t played since Round 4 when he kicked three goals in the Roosters’ 22-point win over Greensborough.
Northcote Park has regained Doug Morris and recalled Daniel Ledda for its match with Macleod, but will be without key duo Jake Mills and Michael O’Connell. Jack Bianchin is back for the Kangaroos at the expense of Lachlan Considine.
Lalor has lost Nathan Thomas and Scott Morrison for its away game at Epping. The Bloods have included Andrew Sneddon and Jason Pilakis for the must-win game.
