Lockyer is one of five game-changing additions to Sebastopol's line-up for the East Point clash.

Bailey Medwell, James Keeble, Chase Dummett and Samuel Hill have been named for Saturday.

It will be Keeble and Medwell's first games since round 12, while Dummett returns from a hamstring injury for his first match since round 11.

The Burra will be without Liam Stow (suspension), Jay Dahlhaus (hand) and Riley O'Keefe (soreness).

Stow was handed a two-week suspension for a knock on North Ballarat's Jamie Quick which left him concussed.

O'Keefe will return for the round 17 match-up with Ballarat, while Dahlhaus is eyeing a return by finals.

NORTH BALLARAT welcomes back two of its most important players in Jamie Quick and Jack Riding for Saturday's blockbuster meeting with Sunbury.

Quick returns from a concussion sustained against Sebastopol in round 14 while Riding lined up for Werribee and was a late out for the Roosters' loss to Darley.

REDAN has access to Will Madden for Saturday's Ballarat match-up as well as Greater Western Victoria Rebels products in Khy Jess and Harry Lawson.
