North Melbourne has made eight changes to its VFL side that lost to the Suns in Round 5.
Will Phillips and Aaron Hall have been brought back into the team, while recruit Daniel Howe has also been named after a stretch of games in the senior side from Rounds 2-7.
The VFL-listed quartet of Nick Stevens, Jack Ellwood, Ben Bath and Nick Hodgson have earned recalls with Bath to serve as the 23rd player.
Moving into the AFL this week is Jack Mahony, Miller Bergman, Flynn Perez and senior debutant Blake Drury.
Despite dealing with a knee issue through the week, George Wardlaw has retained his spot in midfield after getting the green light during Thursday's main training session.
Ruck-forward Callum Coleman-Jones, who kicked two goals against Gold Coast a fortnight ago and made his AFL season debut last week, will miss due to concussion.
The young defensive duo of Josh Goater (hamstring) and Jackson Archer (groin) also make way.
Tarryn Thomas will play his first game for the season as he continues to work through his VFL block.
A return to the AFL program will be dependent on Thomas' ongoing improvement in standards of attitude and behaviour.
AFL-listed players named in the side include Kallan Dawson, Hugh Greenwood, Phoenix Spicer, Hamish Free, Jacob Edwards, Eddie Ford, Aiden Bonar, Lachie Young, Howe, Phillips, Thomas, Wardlaw and Hall.
