Jarrod Korewha and James North will face Terang Mortlake at Terang Recreation Reserve on Saturday in a rescheduled round 11 fixture to be played without crowds.
The statewide lockdown gave Korewha, who was available for selection a fortnight ago, added time to recover from a serious elbow injury.

North comes in for his first senior game of the season.
McLaren said North was a welcome inclusion.
"He's a huge in for us. He's such a smooth, forward-of-the-ball player," he said.
"He's as good a field kick as you'll see and clever around goals.
"He's had a slow build. He's a farmer, loves his cricket and had a baby a month ago. We're rapt to have him in."
South Warrnambool's depth will be on display against fellow top-three side North Warrnambool Eagles at Friendly Societies' Park.
The Roosters lose five quality players but welcomes back five established footballers too.

NAB League-listed quartet Fraser Marris, Archie Stevens, George Stevens and Marcus Herbert and veteran midfielder James Hussey (unavailable) will miss.
Brothers Nick and Sam Thompson, ex-AFL player Ricky Henderson, goal-kicker Paddy Anderson and defender Liam Mullen return to the side.
Roosters coach Mat Battistello said he was "more than happy with our ins".
"We'd love to keep the kids but we understand," he said.
"We play them when they're available and it means we have to be flexible with our list.
"To the boys' credit, they embrace whoever comes in."
North Warrnambool Eagles will play first-gamer Billy Hancocks and have also named Ty Vickery again.
Eagles coach Adam Dowie said Hancocks, who used to play for Warrnambool and District league club South Rovers, was an endurance specialist.
"He's only been back from Darwin for six weeks," he said.
"He was in special operations with the Army. He's a running machine and pretty hard, has a basketball background and is best mates with Dion Johnstone."
Port Fairy has named debutant Jack van der Aa to face Portland at Hanlon Park.
Seagulls coach Winis Imbi said the teenage would add pluck to the side.
"He's small but has a mature body on him, he's got speed but also got really good poise," he said.
"What we like about him is he has intent and is cheeky."
Van der Aa is one of four inclusions for the Seagulls alongside Jack Hearn, Darcy Smith and Aaron McInnes.
Midfielder Andy McMeel (hamstring), small forward Lochie Gunning (ankle), Jake Hamilton (unavailable) and Jack Hogan (school) make way.
Warrnambool has lost speedy goal-kicker Austin Steere (unavailable) and key defender Angus Bade (NAB League) for its away game against Hamilton Kangaroos at Melville Oval.
The Blues have brought in playmaker Jackson Bell and emerging midfielder Zacc Dwyer.
The Roos had planned to unveil debutant Vincent Huf but he was selected for NAB League duties with GWV Rebels.
