2011 draftee Tom Curran has made another step forward on the comeback trail from a foot injury, named in North Ballarat’s senior team.

After being dropped from the North Melbourne side, Liam Anthony will be looking to respond with a quality performance for the Roosters against Box Hill on Saturday.

Alongside Ben Mabon and Cruize Garlett, the North Melbourne trio make up a significant portion of North Ballarat's midfield brigade.

Gavin Urquhart and Aaron Mullett have both been named on the half-back flanks, and the pair will be looked upon to provide the bulk of the rebound from the Roosters’ defensive area.

Werribee will be looking towards its North-listed forwards to play a key role, with a win potentially pushing the Tigers into the top four. Lachlan Hansen, Robbie Tarrant and Ben McKinley will all be key targets when the likes of Sam Gibson, Malcolm Lynch and Will Sierakowski can get first use out of the centre.
