HDFNL grand final team lists: Bombers contend with injuries, Roos stock up
Check out the ins and outs of the HDFNL grand final teams.
The Noradjuha Quantong Bombers will take on the Harrow Balmoral Southern Roos in the 2024 HDFNL grand final, but will do so without captain Wade Francis.
An injury plagued season for Francis has limited his time on the field in 2024, and has again forced him from the side in the decider.
His departure does make space for the team's returning player-coach Damian Cameron, who missed the Bombers preliminary final win against Swifts.
Noradjuha Quantong's Dawson Cross is also missing from the club's grand final team list with an injury that kept him from the preliminary final field.
Meanwhile Harrow Balmoral reaps the reward of a lighter path through finals.
The side sees the return of Michael Close after several weeks on the injured list, while Matt Jones also comes back in after missing the Southern Roos semi final.
