The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have locked in their line-up for Saturday's season-opening clash against Gold Coast at Blundstone Arena.

Entry will be free for supporters and bouncedown will be at 1.10pm AEST.

As confirmed earlier this week, the Roos will have five debutants with draftees Taylah GattSophia McCarthy and Charli Granville joining Irish duo Vikki Wall and Erika O'Shea as the club's latest Shinboners.

Fellow potential debutants Ella Maurer, draftee Grace Matser and injury replacement signing Hannah Bowey have been named as the emergencies.

Unavailable for selection were Danielle Hardiman (knee), Cassidy Mailer (bone stress - leg), as well as Sophie Abbatangelo and Alice O'Loughlin (both managed).

Grace Campbell has already been ruled out for the season after tearing her ACL at a pre-season training session.

Meanwhile, the Roos will team up with Collingwood and Melbourne for inter-club scratch matches to ensure non-selected players such as Perri King and Zoe Savarirayan are still being exposed to match-like environments in the absence of VFLW.
