Key-defender Lachlan Hansen is set to make his return via the VFL on Sunday, named to play for Werribee against Frankston.

Hansen has missed the last two matches with hip soreness, and will need to impress the selectors before making his return to the senior lineup.

The Tigers will have a strong contingent of North-listed players, with Majak Daw, Mason Wood and Kieran Harper all set to play in attack.

Through the midfield Will Fordham will be at the feet of Eric Wallace, with Scott McMahon to lead the charge from defence.

Werribee will have a huge task on its hands to overcome the top-placed Box Hill outfit.

A day earlier, North Ballarat and Frankston face off in the bottom of the table clash, with as many as seven Kangaroos in action.

Robin Nahas’ strong form last week saw him named as an emergency for the AFL team and he’ll be looking for another similar performance to push his claim for a call-up.

Aaron Black is back at the Roosters after his second game in the royal blue and white of 2015, and he’ll be joined by big man Braydon Preuss when he pushes into attack.

Trent Dumont and Brad McKenzie will be vital through the midfield, while Max Warren and Joel Tippett are sure to be important down back.
