With Corey Wagner and Mitch Hibberd sidelined due to injury, North is set to make at least two changes this week against the Bombers.

Jarrad Waite could return, but there’s another spot to fill. Will Brad Scott and the match committee opt to mix things up after a disappointing loss?

NMFC.com.au looks at those in the mix for a call-up.

Defenders

After getting a taste of AFL action on two occasions this season, Sam Durdin will be hoping for another chance.

Lachlan Hansen has plied his trade as a defender for much of his career, but can play at either end of the ground, as illustrated with two goals in ten minutes in the VFL on the weekend.

Midfielders

Trent Dumont could be in line for an immediate recall after racking up 35 disposals for Werribee, while Ryan Clarke is another who’ll push his case after he was the match-day emergency last week.

Jed Anderson was quiet in the VFL on the weekend, but certainly wasn’t alone, while rookie Will Fordham is another who could get his chance to impress.

Braydon Preuss missed last week due to injury, but could slot straight in if he gets through training and North opts for extra height.

Forwards

Josh Williams was praised by the development coaches for his ability to give Werribee a spark on a tough day, while Ben McKay has two games back from injury.

Nick Larkey hasn’t played in a fortnight, but his form in the VFL this year has been nothing short of impressive.
