INS - Heaney, Natoli, McInerney, McKenna, Peters & Vincitorio.
OUTS - Bromley, Rocca, Presti, McKenzie, Barker & Nannery
Ben Peters and Kane Heaney have been rewarded for exceptional games in the reserves the last two weeks while McInerney and McKenna return from injury. Both McKenna and McInerney have been solid contributors in the seniors throughout the season which cover the loss of Nannery and McKenzie who have been very valuable for the roosters this year.
Nannery will return soon from a minor soft tissue complaint whilst McKenzie will be looking to be fit for the last game of the season with a sore head from a big bump in a case of unfortunate friendly fire at Heidelberg.
Natoli slots back into the senior side where he has been a goal kicker for much of this season. His pace and elusiveness in the forward half could prove crucial.
*Matt Vincitorio makes his debut for the Roosters this week. His form the last month has been terrific and has been duly rewarded with an opportunity at the top level. A young player with outstanding pace and smarts. His goal sense and ability to impact a game will be on show at Lower Plenty this week.
Last Time They Met:West Preston 12.17.89
Lower Plenty 6.8.44
Without Presti and Rocca as the bookends for the Roosters how will the loss of these two impact the outcome of this weekend's game?
At J.E.Moore park in the first clash between the two sides it was McKenzie who was dominating the ruck and around the ground with Damien Smith up forward Kicking 4 goals doing the damage.
Without McKenzie this time around, as well as prolific on-baller Kris Bardon, the likes of Micevski x 2, Gannon and Cotchett will look to step in and take on the void left by the key exclusions this week.
