Defender Claire Mahony has been named among four potential inclusions for North Melbourne's Round 11 match against Adelaide in Hobart on Sunday.

Mahony, who was in doubt earlier in the week due to a sprained ankle, has been named in the Kangaroos' extended squad to face the Crows at North Hobart Oval.

She is joined as possible inclusions by Kate Shierlaw and Jenna Bruton, who were rested last week, and ruck-forward Emma King.

Star midfielder Eilish Sheerin will miss this week's match. 

Sheerin, who celebrated her 50th AFLW game with a win over Essendon last weekend, is being managed as the Kangaroos prepare for their upcoming finals campaign.

The Roos will name their selected Round 11 team at 5pm AEDT on Friday.

Meanwhile, 2024 premiership defender Nicole Bresnehan will take an important step forward this weekend as she targets her long-awaited return from an ACL tear and a calf injury.

Bresnehan, who last featured for North Melbourne in Round 1, 2025, will play competitive minutes in an AFL-organised scrimmage match in Sydney on Saturday.
