Senior Teams | July 13-14


Published on Friday, July 12, 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.

Heidelberg and Greensborough have both lost a key player for the Meadows Greyhounds Division 1 top of the table clash at Warringal Park.

The Tigers will be without 2018 Frank Rosbrook medallist Michael Brunelli, while the Boro have lost ruckman Liam Read.

Muhammad Saad and Fraser Pope both return for Macleod’s crunch game against Bundoora, where a spot inside the top-five is on the line, although Jack Baker is unavailable.

Bundoora regains David Mitchell, Brendan Carlyon and Daniel Guccione, but will be without star midfielder Daniel Venditti as it looks to end a two-game losing run

Northcote Park will be without rebounding defender Lachlan Boscarini for its important home game against Montmorency. Boscarini was best afield in the Cougars’ win away to Bundoora last week.

The Magpies regain Ben Walton for his fourth game of the season in what looms as a must-win game, with both sides vying for a spot inside the top half of the ladder.

Kyle McDonald and Brandon Bailey will both miss North Heidelberg’s match against Hurstbridge at Shelley Reserve. The Bridges regain Ryan Jackson.

Meanwhile, Aidan Tilley and Michael Marotta return for West Preston-Lakeside as it makes the trip to Montmorency Park South Oval to take on Lower Plenty. The Roosters look set to be without in-form midfielder Matthew Signorello, who has been named in Port Melbourne’s VFL squad for its clash with the Northern Blues.

The Bears regain Alden Meale among three changes as they look to recapture their best form following consecutive heavy defeats.

In A Plus Labour Solutions Division 2, Adam Oxley will line-up for Eltham in its home match against Diamond Creek at Eltham Central Park. The former Collingwood defender is one of three inclusions, along with key forward Michael Still.

The Creekers will be without key forward Dean Limbach and Oliver Stapleton for the crunch game, where they will be aiming to keep their finals hopes alive.

Fitzroy Stars will be without Peter Hood, Andrew Lovett and Max Maynard for their meeting with Thomastown for the NAIDOC Cup. Jacob Osei-Duro won’t line up for the Bears.

St Mary’s regains midfielder Mitchell Hocking as it hunts for a third-straight win against Watsonia. The Saints have made eight changes as they look to bounce back from a big loss at Banyule.

Elsewhere, Epping will be without skipper Leigh Judd for its trip to the Whittlesea Showgrounds where it takes on the third-placed Eagles – who have added Paul Higgins.

In Heidelberg Golf Club Division 3, Laurimar has named Mitch Golby and Jordan Wilkins for its trip to J.J. Clancy to take on Kilmore. The Blues regain Matt Swindells for the much-anticipated top-three clash.

Scott Conte and Cam Jordan return for Panton Hill’s trip to South Morang, although Matthew Byron will miss after he was hurt in last week’s win at Mernda.

Meanwhile, Kane Moore is back in Heidelberg West’s side for its trip to Eltham College to face off against Old Eltham Collegians, although Masaki Miki will miss.

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