AFTER missing the past three rounds, Billy Price is a chance to return to Heathcote\u2019s senior footy team as the Bendigo Bank Heathcote DFNL hits the halfway mark of the home and away series this Saturday.<\/p>\n
Third in the premiership race, Heathcote will be back on home turf at Barrack Reserve to take on Huntly in the eighth round.<\/p>\n
The Andrew Saladino-coached Saints will be determined to improve on a five and two record and stay clear of White Hills which is fourth on an identical win-loss tally.<\/p>\n
A previous winner of Heathcote\u2019s fairest and best award, Billy Price has not played since 13 May when the Saints won at home against Elmore.<\/p>\n
Henry McCarthy is another pushing for a return after being sidelined for the past two games when the Saints beat Lockington Bamawm United, and were beaten at North Bendigo.<\/p>\n
Kai Cavallaro could also be back after being sidelined for the duel with the Bulldogs.<\/p>\n
The Saints will start hot favourite against the winless Huntly.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a brilliant first year at Heathcote by key forward Corey Grindlay who has kicked 41 goals.<\/p>\n
Other key players in the Saints\u2019 march to the third rung include on-ballers Liam Jacques and Braden Padmore, captain Codie Price at half-back, and Will Direen and Connor Hamilton in defence.<\/p>\n
