The senior teams for Round 4.
This weekend sees the introduction of the 23rd Player Rule in Division 1, whereby all Division 1 clubs will be able to select 23 plays for their senior game. The 23rd player must be an under-19 player.
This rule will apply during four rounds during the year. They will be rounds 4, 8, 12 and 16. This player cannot be the same player in all four games. It must be a different player in each of the games.
To the changes, where Northcote Park has made three changes ahead of its important home clash with Montmorency. The Cougars have included youngsters James Hodder and Joel Donaldson, along with Michael Naldrett.
The Magpies have added some big guns, with Jesse Donaldson, Shane Tennant and Luke Jackson all returning.
Greensborough has lost Liam Bowkett for its top-four encounter against Macleod. The Kangaroos have included debutant Sean Driscoll and Kyle Shepard-Mueller.
In Division 2, North Heidelberg has regained Marc Lonergan and Andre Habchi for its trip to Hurstbridge.
Diamond Creek has been significantly bolstered by the inclusions of Brent Gutterson, Tyron Loader, Josh Whitehouse-Summers for its home clash Epping.
Ben Anderson returns for Division 3 club Watsonia ahead of its clash with Reservoir, although the Saints will be without high-flying forward Jeremy Bennett.
Meantime, Thomastown has recalled Lukas Fellows and Chris Higgins for its home match against South Morang.
