Small forward Zoe Savarirayan will put her hand up for selection this week's semi-final against Richmond, having recently finished year 12 exams.

The 17-year-old made her debut for the club back in Round 6 against the Swans and proceeded to play the following three games until the time came for her to fully dedicate herself to the exam period prior to Round 10.

With a quick first step and impressive agility, Savarirayan was often able to get into dangerous positions and cause headaches for opposition small defenders throughout her four-appearance stretch.

However, in Savarirayan's post-Round 9 absence, forward Ellie Gavalas made her return to the line-up after recovering from a hamstring injury, and looks to have reclaimed the role Savarirayan was provided with upon her induction into the side.

Despite the burst of pace Savarirayan offers, a strong full-team performance in last week's elimination final could see Darren Crocker and the match committee lean towards keeping an unchanged line-up for Saturday's semi-final.

That game saw the impactful returns of captain Emma Kearney (knee soreness) and ruck Kim Rennie (health and safety protocols), who were both unavailable for North Melbourne's last tussle with the Tigers in Round 10.

Kearney pulled up well from the epic win at GMHBA Stadium and is raring to go for Saturday, as is Rennie after claiming 13 hitouts, seven disposals and an important grab late in the fourth quarter.

Charli Granville, in her debut season, has proven to be a valuable at addition at times, most notably in Round 9 against Collingwood when she booted two goals in a standout performance after receiving a late call-up. Like Savarirayan, she will be high up on Crocker's ist of potential additions should he want to switch things up down forward.

Young inside midfielder Perri King is recovering well after finger surgery but remains unavailable for the near future.
