North Melbourne has named its extended side for Sunday afternoon's clash with Richmond at the MCG.

Forward Paul Curtis comes out of the side that defeated West Coast by one point after receiving a three-match suspension for rough conduct.

Young duo Finn O'Sullivan and Riley Hardeman have been named in the squad after recovering from concussion. O'Sullivan could return after missing the past two matches, while Hardeman is in line for his first appearance since being taken out of the Round 13 clash against Fremantle following a head knock.

They're joined in the squad by Aidan Corr and Robert Hansen jnr, who have both been in strong form at VFL level.

Hardened onballer Goerge Wardlaw is set to run out for his 50th AFL game against the Tigers.

North Melbourne will finalise its selected team of 23 players at 5pm AEST on Friday.
