Majak Daw is in line to play his first game of the season after being named in North’s 25-man squad on Thursday evening.
The forward/ruckman was elevated off the Rookie list at the start of the year and has been playing well in the VFL with Werribee.
Robbie Nahas is also in contention for a call-up to play St Kilda on Sunday at Etihad, having been promoted on to the primary list on Thursday morning.
After a dominant outing in the VFL on Saturday, which resulted in four goals and 23 possessions, Mason Wood is a chance to return while Aaron Mullett and Brad McKenzie have also entered the frame.
North will have to make at least two changes to the team that beat the Bulldogs on Friday night with Kayne Turner injured and Lindsay Thomas suspended.
