Robbie Nahas could make his North debut against Sydney this weekend with the small forward named in the club’s 25-man squad.

A smaller ground at the SCG could provide plenty of opportunities for the former Tiger to create havoc with his defensive pressure and crumbing likely to complement the efforts of Lindsay Thomas.

After a stunning display in the VFL for Werribee which resulted in 31 possessions, veteran Michael Firrito has been rewarded with a spot on the extended bench. He’s joined by Liam Anthony and Joel Tippett.

There’s only one out for the Roos so far after emerging defender Jamie Macmillan broke his leg in last week’s match against Port. Brad Scott ruled Jack Ziebell out on Thursday afternoon.

The Swans have added Craig Bird, Dean Towers and Toby Nankervis to their squad.
