Footscray travel to Princes Park on Sunday afternoon to take on the Northern Blues with a spot in the top-four welll within their grasp.
A win over the eleventh-placed Blues could reshape the VFL ladder as 1st (Williamstown) faces 5th (Port Melbourne) and 3rd (Casey) play 4th (Sandringham), while the second-place Magpies have the bye.
Footscray welcome back Nathan Hrovat for the first time since injurying an ankle in April.
