Northcote Park has been forced to make four changes for its game with Lower Plenty. Will Debruin, Joseph Woonton, Narby Kelly and Shaun Lorenzini will all miss through injury.
The Bears have made three changes, headlined by the inclusion of Patrick Flynn who hasn’t played since Round 8.
Nick Riddle returns from VFL duties for Greensborough’s clash with Bundoora. It’s an important game for the seventh-placed Boro who have returned to form over the past fortnight.
In Division 3, Abe Williams is back in the Panton Hill lineup for its top of the table clash with Mernda. The winner of the game will firm as favourite for this season’s minor premiership.
