North Melbourne has brought five players into its squad ahead of Sunday's Pride Round game against Essendon at Windy Hill.

Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner, Emma King and Abby Favell have been added to the team that defeated Fremantle by 28 points, alongside potential debutants Maddison Torpey (club) and Shauna McElligott (League).

Kate Shierlaw and Jenna Bruton are both being managed and will miss the clash with the Bombers.

The Kangaroos will wear their 2026 Pride guernsey 'Bound for Boldness' against Essendon at Windy Hill.

Inspired by the iconic Bounding Roo guernsey, the design represents the North Melbourne's commitment to moving forward boldly, symbolising the club’s momentum and how it refuses to stand still.

North Melbourne will lock in its final team on Friday at 5pm AEDT.
