Mitch Wallis will play his first game in nine months when he lines up for Footscray against North Ballarat tomorrow night at VU Whitten Oval.
Wallis had been a key cog in the Club's AFL side last year before breaking his leg during a round 18 clash with St. Kilda.
Forward Tory Dickson will also play his first game for the season after recovering from an abdominal strain that has kept him sidelined for much of 2017.
The 'Scray will be looking to make it two in a row after last week's emphatic 51-point defeat of Werribee, while North Ballarat will be out for their first win of the season after falling to the Demons at Casey Fields last Saturday night.
