North trio holding hope
Levi Greenwood, Will Sierakowski and Kieran Harper are among four inclusions into the 25-man squad.
Levi Greenwood, Will Sierakowski and Kieran Harper are among four inclusions into the 25-man squad to take on the Crows.
Brad McKenzie is the only player out of the side at this stage. The left-footer had played the last seven games, but after a quiet appearance as the substitute against Geelong, has been omitted.
Hard-nosed midfielder Greenwood has played just four games this season despite good form at Werribee, while Sierakowski has not been in the team since Round 11.
The inclusion of Harper would be an intriguing one given he played in North Ballarat’s VFL development team last week to gain valuable game-time.
It’s been a disappointing year for the 21-year-old, who struggled for form early in the year before injuring his ankle. He has however found his feet in recent weeks at Werribee.
