Jamie Macmillan is set to make his return after a two week spell on the sidelines, named in North's 22 to take on the Cats.
The 23-year-old sat out the clash against the Power with achilles soreness, but will be vital to the Roos' chances at Simonds Stadium.
Jack Ziebell has also been included, recovering in time from a chest injury for the all-important fixture.

Ben Jacobs has been omitted from the side, but will no doubt take confidence from a 30-disposal haul against the Power.
The defender has been listed as an emergency, alongside Brad McKenzie, while Trent Dumont will have to wait at least one more week for his debut.
