Champion Kangaroo Emma Kearney has been named to take on Brisbane in Saturday night's Grand Final rematch at Brighton Homes Arena.

The experienced defender missed North Melbourne's opening victory over Geelong at Marvel Stadium last weekend, due to a hamstring injury sustained in the team's pre-season.

Ruck-forward Emma King (omitted) will make way for the former captain in the Kangaroos' only selection change this week.

Spearhead Tahlia Randall has been named at full-forward after signing a new contract to ensure she will remain at Arden St until at least the end of the 2027 season.

King, Tessa Boyd and Abby Favell are North Melbourne's three emergencies as they head north to face their fierce rivals.

Saturday night's match in Queensland is at 7.15pm AEST. It will be streamed live on 7mate, 7plus, Fox Sports and Kayo.
