VFL Head Coach Andy Otten has made five changes to the side that triumphed over Essendon by 31 points last week, with Brady Grey and Josh Tovey returning to the side along with debutants Ben De Bolfo, Michael Kiraly and Josh Murphy.
Mason Cox, Ed Allan and Oleg Markov have been recalled to the AFL side, while Joel Cochran has been ruled out due to concussion. Charlie West has been managed.
Young ruckman Oscar Steene will look to back up his impressive Round 5 performance, where he accumulated 16 hitouts, six clearances and six score involvements to have him named as one of Otten’s best performers for the match.
Max Mahoney, Boston Dowling, Angus Seivers, Ryan Eyre, and Conor Willis will be the emergencies.
