Daniel Wells and Lachlan Hansen headline a bumper list of players who are returning to the North Melbourne side this Saturday.

Along with Jamie Macmillan, the trio provide an added boost of experience for what could be a danger game against Melbourne.

Brad Scott stated during the week that the final home and away round is notable for upsets, and a loss heading into an Elimination Final would be a dent in preparations.

Daniel Currie also comes into the senior side to replace Todd Goldstein, who is unable to take his place due to soreness. Currie has been in excellent form for Werribee, notching a staggering 105 hit-outs in the last two weeks.

Mason Wood will also make his long-awaited debut against the Demons, and adds extra firepower to a forward line that has kicked more than 100 points in each of the last three weeks.

Possible Rising Star Luke McDonald will not play due to a minor back injury, but is likely to return for the Elimination Final. Scott stated during the week that the first-year player was ‘easily in our best side’.

Levi Greenwood suffered a minor calf injury on Wednesday at training, while Lindsay Thomas will not play due to knee soreness and Michael Firrito general soreness.
