Here are seniors teams for Round 5.
Remarkably, first plays second in all senior competitions so a huge weekend of action is in store.
With the VFL having a weekend off, a number of big names have been included to NFL teams this weekend.
Montmorency has three huge inclusions for its top of the table clash with Bundoora with Mark McKenzie, James Brooker and Alik Magin all in for their first games of the year.
Heidelberg has brought George Nabbout into its lineup for tomorrow’s clash with West Preston-Lakeside. The Roosters have lost Anthony Rocca for the match, while Xavier Clarke will also miss through injury.
Macleod gains Cathal Corr and Matthew Clark, with Patrick Flynn set to return for Lower Plenty.
Ruckman Matt Walter returns from injury for Diamond Creek’s big trip to Whittlesea, while the Eagles have been dealt a huge blow with first-choice ruckman Jeremy Page out injured.
Jarrod Skinner, Toby O’Meara and Richard Collins have all been added into Reservoir’s team for its much-anticipated clash with Panton Hill. The Redbacks have regained Ben Strongman.
