Senior Teams | May 4-5 | Northern Football Netball League

The selected teams for this week’s NFNL senior football matches.

All senior men’s teams are eligible to select a 23rd Man for this weekend’s matches. The 23rd Man must be eligible to play under-19s and can not have played three or more senior matches.

Brent Harvey and Morgan Persson-Clark return for North Heidelberg’s derby against Heidelberg at Shelley Reserve.

The unbeaten Tigers regain defender Aaron Crispe, but will be without suspended forward Chaz Sargeant and Will Goss and Will Knight.

2018 Frank Rosbrook Medal winner Lucas Hobbs and suspended forward Reid Brandt will miss Macleod’s clash with Greensborough at De Winton Park. Daniel O’Brien and Adrian Totino are among four inclusions for the Roos.

The Boro have added Tynan Smith, but lose ruckman Liam Read, who has been selected by Essendon’s VFL team.

Key forward Liam McVeigh returns for West Preston-Lakeside’s important clash with Bundoora at J.E. Moore Park. The Bulls have added Brenton Briffa.

Brock McLennan will play his first game since Round 1, replacing Tyson Old, when Northcote Park travels to Montmorency Park South Oval to play Lower Plenty. The Bears regain Matthew Duckworth and Alden Meale.

Meanwhile, Montmorency has recalled Matthew Hunt and Matthew White for its trip to Ben Frilay Oval to take on Hurstbridge.

In A Plus Labour Solutions Division 2, Collingwood defender Adam Oxley will play his first game for Eltham when the Panthers host Fitzroy Stars at Eltham Central Park. Oxley played 34 AFL games for the Magpies and now plays with the club’s VFL team, who have a bye this week.

The Stars regain Carl Groth among five changes, although Ethan Penrith and Max Maynard are among the outs.

Thomastown ruckman Dylan Chapman returns for the Bears’ home clash against Diamond Creek, where both sides enter with 2-1 records. The Creekers have named Hugh Kavanagh.

Banyule forward James Kroussoratis and defender Daniel Camilleri will miss the top of the table clash against Watsonia at A.K. Lines Reserve.

Meanwhile, Chris Petroro and Myles Guldon return for St Mary’s trip to Whittlesea Showgrounds to play Whittlesea. It will be the Burra’s first trip to the ground since last year’s third division grand final win.

Panton Hill and Laurimar will both be without key players in their much-anticipated Heidelberg Golf Club Division 3 match up. Scott Conte will miss for the Redbacks, while the Power will be without Justin Sherman and Luke Wilson.

Spencer Christopher is out of Lalor’s trip to Heidelberg West after a five-goal haul in Round 3, while Reservoir will be without in-form recruit Donovan Stuart for its trip to Mernda.

Selected teams for the NFNL Women’s competition will be named in the lead-up to each match.
