Senior Teams | August 10-11


Published on Friday, August 9, 2019

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

All Meadows Greyhounds Division 1 and A Plus Labour Solutions Division 2 clubs are able to select a 23rd Player for this weekend’s matches. The 23rd Player must be an under-19 eligible player and can’t have previously played more than two senior games.

Northcote Park must win its final three games to have any hope of sneaking into the top-five and the Cougars have gone all out – with skipper Paul Dirago, Jackson Starcevich, Kyle Galloway and Charles Le Fanu all included for the must-win clash against Macleod at Bill Lawry Oval.

The Roos will be without injured midfielder Kurt Manuel as they look to sure up their spot in the top half of the ladder.

West Preston-Lakeside premiership star Michael Ercolano will play his first game since Round 5 when the Roosters host Hurstbridge at J.E. Moore Park.

Hurstbridge will be without both Cameron Cloke and Tom Simpson for Daniel Keenan’s record-breaking 400th game.

Nick Riddle, John Desmond and Damon Marcon have all been added to Greensborough’s side for its short trip to take on Lower Plenty. The two sides will be competing for the Long Tan Cup.

North Heidelberg regains Daniel Harris and Shane Biggs for its home match against Montmorency at Shelley Reserve, although Jesse Tardio has again been named in Williamstown’s VFL squad.

The Magpies welcome back Matthew Hunt, but young gun Braedyn Gillard is set to miss after being named for Coburg.

Tom Sullivan and Will Knight return from extended breaks for Heidelberg’s home match against Bundoora at Warringal Park. Sullivan hasn’t played since the Round 12 win over Greensborough, while Knight will play just his fourth game of the year.

The Bulls regain 2018 best and fairest Scott Dowell and versatile tall Daniel Guccione as they look to break a six-game losing streak.

Banyule will be without both Brent Stanton and James Kroussoratis for its A Plus Labour Solutions Division 2 top of the ladder clash against Whittlesea at Beverley Rd Oval. The Bears will regain Mitchell Lovell, who kicked six goals in the earlier win over the Eagles this season.

Daniel Coffield, Brandon Freeman and Brendan O’Sullivan are among five inclusions for Eltham for its trip to Whatmough Park to take on St Mary’s. The Burra will be without Chris Petroro.

Elsewhere, Josh Marchbank returns to Diamond Creek’s line-up for its match against Watsonia at Coventry Oval, where the Saints regain Hayden Mitchell.

In Heidelberg Golf Club Division 3, Panton Hill key forward Matthew Byron will miss his side’s top-three clash with Kilmore at A.E. Cracknell Reserve, while Masaki Miki returns for Heidelberg West’s trip to Lalor.

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