Several Kangaroos are in the frame for a post-bye call-up following a big VFL win over Collingwood late last month.
Will Phillips was the main star in the team's 72-point win at Victoria Park and will be on Alastair Clarkson's selection radar as North Melbourne prepares to face West Coast in Bunbury on Sunday afternoon.
The onballer racked up 36 possessions (15 contested), nine score involvements, eight clearances and six inside 50s.
Cooper Harvey was dominant inside forward 50, booting a game-high five goals from 19 touches and 11 marks.
It's been a strong run of form for the 20-year-old, who has now kicked 16 goals in his last six appearances for the reserves.
Robert Hansen jnr also hit the scoreboard and used his speed to open the Pies up throughout the afternoon. He kicked one goal from his 19 disposals.
Young midfielder Luke Urquhart played one of his best games in North Melbourne colours, finishing the VFL bout with 23 possessions, six tackles and a major. Like Hansen jnr, Urquhart was drafted out of Western Australia and could get a look-in as the club heads over for a double-header in the state.
Eddie Ford has continued to impress behind the ball under coach Tom Lynch and is a chance to make his season debut against the Eagles.
The No.40 tallied 29 disposals and a game-high 14 intercepts against Collingwood, backing up his performance against Richmond at Arden Street where he had 26 touches, 12 marks and 10 intercepts.
Key back Griffin Logue played his role in holding Collingwood to just one major across the first three quarters, finishing with 20 possessions and six intercepts.
In response to their omissions prior to the AFL side's Round 11 match against the Pies, Bailey Scott and Zane Duursma picked up 21 and 20 disposals respectively and will be around the mark for recalls.
Brynn Teakle and Brayden George will also both raise their hands for selection after booting three goals apiece against Collingwood.
Brayden George sells the candy and slots it!
