Pick No.2 from the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft Zac Banch will make his North Melbourne VFL debut on Saturday, being one of the five inclusions for the clash against Werribee.
The crafty small forward will start on the interchange against his former club, for whom he played a key role in their premiership-winning campaign of 2024.
He's joined in the line-up by the returning Matt Whitlock, who is back from concussion.
After four games at AFL level, Finnbar Maley returns to the VFL fray, while Louis Butler and Tyson Scoble have also been named.
Brynn Teakle, Griffin Logue, Robert Hansen jnr and Cooper Harvey are all on AFL duty and come out of the side that convincingly defeated Collingwood in Round 9, while Alex Noblett has been omitted.
