North Melbourne defenders Aidan Corr, Griffin Logue and Zac Fisher will all miss the team's clash against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
Fisher was subbed out of the Good Friday SuperClash against Carlton at half-time due to a hamstring injury, but is a chance of returning to the team next week.
Corr and Logue have both been omitted.
Kallan Dawson has been named to make his season debut, with his last senior appearance coming back in the final round of 2024.
He's joined in the side by Jackson Archer, who will play his first AFL game since Round 1 of this year, and Riley Hardeman.
Hardeman, George Wardlaw, Zane Duursma, Dylan Stephens and Tom Powell have been named on the interchange bench, with one from the group to be named as substitute an hour before the 3.45pm ACST (4.15pm AEST) bounce.
Corr, Robert Hansen jnr and Finnbar Maley are the three emergencies.
