The senior teams for this weekend’s matches.
Macleod welcomes back key defender Brad Leggett for the first time since Round 6 when it hosts West Preston-Lakeside at De Winton Park. However, the Roos will be without injured forward Nick Lynch who booted 10 goals when the sides met in Round 9.
Roosters skipper Shaun Gannon is one of four inclusions for the clash for third-place, however Glenn Robertson is set to miss.
Whittlesea is unchanged as it looks for consecutive wins when it hosts Lower Plenty. The Bears have bolstered their side significantly, including Matt Duckworth, Cam Elmore and Josh Turner to an extended squad.
Northcote Park also has an important trio returning, with Nick Carter, Michael O’Connell, Patrick O’Connell all named to take on Montmorency at Montmorency Park.
In Division 2, Panton Hill has made the biggest surprise of the week by naming experienced duo Joffa Byron and Zac Williams for its important clash with bottom-placed Hurstbridge. With both sides desperate to secure their fourth victory of the year, the Redbacks have named their two premiership veterans for the first time this year.
Harley Nancarrow will play his first game since Round 9 when Epping hosts Mernda. The travelling Demons will be without David Hutchinson.
Meanwhile, Lionel Proctor will return for injury for the Fitzroy Stars as they look to extend their unbeaten home run against Lalor.
Thomastown has lost Michael Khoury for its top of the ladder clash with Reservoir in Division 3, with the Mustangs including five players in an extended bench for their trip to Main Street Reserve.
