Cameron Zurhaar will play his first game of the season and fifth of his career, after being called up to the North side to play Hawthorn.

The hard-at-it forward has been in strong form at VFL level, and will have fond memories of an impressive outing against the Hawks in Round 21 last year, when he kicked two goals to go with 13 disposals.

Zurhaar comes into the side to replace Luke Davies-Uniacke, who has been rested after a promising first month in the senior side.
