The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos picked up a much-needed win against the Power last Saturday thanks to a strong second half that saw the side's experience shine through.

An intriguing clash with rivals Collingwood is next on the agenda, and should North Melbourne claim another four points then a top-four finish will remain on the cards.

Darren Crocker and the match committee backed in the same line-up that narrowly lost to the Lions for the bout against Port Adelaide, so that trend might be set to continue.

North Media looks at who might be a chance of being included in the Round 9 squad, and the Kangaroos who are currently under injury clouds.

Draftees Charli Granville, Sophia McCarthy and Grace Matser are all available for selection as they continue to work on their craft in practice matches.

Ella Maurer is a chance to play her second career game after serving the past two matches as an emergency.

Having not featured for the club since Round 4, Dani Hardiman's experience could be useful opposite a talented Magpies outfit, but the current group of defenders have been impressive all season, making it a tough group to break into.

Perri King is the latest Roo to be added to the injury list. The young inside midfielder suffered a finger fracture in the non-selected players practice match last Sunday and will require two weeks away from contact and skill-based drills.

Forward Ellie Gavalas (hamstring) has made her return to full training and will likely enter the selection mix ahead of the final home and away game of the season next week.

Hannah Bowey, who sustained a concussion during training in the lead-up to the match against Port Adelaide, is progressing through concussion protocols and will be monitored closely over the coming days before team selection.
