Senior football teams have been named the HDFNL's semi finals.
While the Harrow Balmoral Southern Roos continue to await the return of Michael Close, the side makes two changes to the team its finished the regular season off with.
Jacob Hill only played six senior games through the year, and steps out of the side once agains for the semi final.
The side will also be without star reservist Connor Deutscher.
Having closed the regular season out in the reserves, Maddox Blake steps back into the senior line up, and Joshua Grant returns after missing round 18.
The Swifts will again be without key on-baller Ryan Folkes.
Chris Freeman and Bourke Nicholls return to the Baggies first team, while Matthew Bourke and Seth Blake drop into the reserves squad to take on Noradjuha Quantong.
The Bombers senior side will welcome the return of Alex Ross, who has missed recent weekends with injury, but the side will be without Dawson Cross.
Pimpinio makes three changes after the Tigers played through a physical final quarter as weather washed over the side's elimination final against Laharum.
Tadgh McGrath returns to Pimpinio's under 17s team set to take on Natimuk United, while Matthew Jorgensen-Price and Darcy Conlan are both exclusions.
