There’s some crunch games in all divisions with every side desperate to head into the Queen’s Birthday weekend on a winning note.
Bundoora and Eltham have made just one change each ahead of tomorrow’s top of the table clash at Yulong Reserve.
The Bulls have included Josh Mascara for the injured Chris McFarlane, while Chris Barry will play his first game for the Panthers who have lost the unavailable Josh Marchbank.
