Anthony Rocca and Simon Prestigiacomo will both miss West Preston-Lakeside’s clash against Whittlesea, but the Eagles also have some omissions of note.
Matthew Quinton and Lachlan Brennan will both miss the match through injury, while Nathan Andrews and Matthew Atta return to the Northern Blues.
Northcote Park has regained Matthew Deledio after he was a late exclusion from last week’s drawn match with Eltham. However the Cougars head into tomorrow’s match against Lower Plenty without important duo Patrick O’Connell and Koden Colman.
Meanwhile there’s massive news from Panton Hill, with former Heidelberg skipper Abe Williams making his return to the NFL when he steps out for the Redbacks against Heidelberg West.
