The Red Lion Kangaroos have brought back experience key forward Simon Geljon for tomorrow's clash at Darley Park as the Devils look for goalkicking alternatives after ruling Adrian Newman out with a shoulder injury.

And former Hawthorn star Angelo Lekkas is an inclusion for Sunbury for Sunday's eliminator against Lake Wendouree at Clarke Oval.

East Point coach Michael Hynes said the Roos had rested Geljon last weekend after the hard-leading centre half forward pulled up sore following the win over Melton.

Hynes said Geljon's value to the Roos went beyond his tally of goals and behinds.

"Dan Jordan is the key focus for the opposition. Having Geljon in the team, who may get the second or third best defender, is something we can really take advantage of."

"He can dummy lead or lead up in the wings. Being a quality experienced player he can sacrifice his own game for benefit of the side."

Hynes rated Newman, who damaged his shoulder a fortnight ago when Darley beat Ballarat, as a significant out for the Devils but said Darley had proven it could win without him.

"He didn't play last time they played us and they played well without him," Hynes said.

"We had plans in place if Newman played or not. It would have been nice to see two of the league's quality forwards on the ground at the same time but, if things go the way they might, we will meet Darley again in a final and both will be out on the park.

"Darley is one forward down, so we will simply match up our defenders on different players. It gives us more flexibility in our backline.

"Newman has kicked 55 goals and (Brad) Miller kicked 48 so we now focus on keeping Miller quiet.

Having said that, Darley has a few blokes who have kicked 20 goals.

"The midfield will decide it and I rate Darley's midfield as the best going around. But I wouldn't underrate our midfield either."

The return of Lekkas at Sunbury is offset by the loss of Keegan Powell and Brett Chambers to injury while Luke Murnane returns for Lake Wendouree.

Ballarat will have to find other match-ups for Melton South in the absence of the injured Brad Anderson.
