North’s last Hobart game of the season is against a Sydney side which has won its last four consecutive matches.

However the Roos enjoy playing at Blundstone Arena, undefeated at the venue in its last eight matches.

NMFC.com.au looks at those in the mix for a call up

Forwards

The fitness of Ben Brown is the main talking point. His absence was felt against the Hawks, as North struggled to put together a winning score.

Elsewhere, Corey Wagner could be in contention for a recall, while Ben McKay is edging closer to a debut after being named as an emergency last week.

Defenders

Scott Thompson could also return from injury after missing last week. With Sydney’s forward line potentially boosted by a Kurt Tippett return, North’s tall defensive stocks will have to be on the very top of their game.

Joel Tippett has been in good form for Werribee playing on the opposition’s best key forward, while Ed Vickers-Willis is pushing for his first match.

Sam Wright returned via the VFL last week but only played a half while Luke McDonald is a chance to play his first game since Round 13 via the VFL.

Midfielders

After North’s midfield had its colours lowered at the MCG, another tough task awaits against the Swans.

Declan Mountford’s pace could change the mix up, while Will Fordham is in arguably his best form of the season. However for Fordham to debut, he would have to be promoted to the senior list.

It’s also to be determined if Ben Jacobs did enough at VFL level last week to warrant a call-up after returning from a foot injury and doubts about the fitness of Sam Gibson following a mishap in the gym.
