Wells will return for the Kangaroos after he was a late withdrawal from the team that lost to Geelong.
The 24 year-old, who excelled off half-back against Port Adelaide, is looking forward to playing his part in the AFL's Indigenous round.
"We're a club where a lot of indigenous players have had a lot of success. This week is one round of footy you just don't want to miss out on."
Rawlings, who has missed the past two matches with a leg injury, is set to provide some much needed experience through the middle after North Melbourne were outclassed by the Cats midfield last week.

NAB Rising Star nominee Ziebell will return to the North Melbourne side after being rested with a slight injury concern last week.
