North Melbourne has a healthy list of names awaiting a call-up from coach Brett Ratten, following the reserves' 39-point win over Collingwood.

Liam Shiels is likely the first in line, having played every game before a delayed concussion ruled him out of Round 11.

The triple premiership player has tracked well throughout the 12-day concussion protocol, and will train on Thursday to affirm his availability.

Darcy Tucker flexed his muscle in his return from a hamstring injury, with 31 disposals, five marks, five tackles and five inside 50s.

The 26-year-old featured in seven straight matches from his first appearance for the Roos' seniors in Round 3, and that trust could see him back in the team as soon as Sunday.

Tarryn Thomas continued to piece together a powerful case for a recall with 18 disposals, six clearances and six tackles.

Last sighted at senior level against Melbourne a month ago, Kayne Turner pressed his claims for a recall with 18 disposals and four goals from the forward pocket.

First-year forward Blake Drury could also come in if Ratten shakes up the mix of smalls, after he went unused as an emergency for Sunday's match against Collingwood.

Cooper Harvey (13 disposals, three marks, two clearances) could similarly be on the periphery of selection, having booted five goals the week prior.

Defender Aidan Corr was also among the Roos' best following his return from a one-match suspension.

The experienced key back regularly frustrated the Magpies' forwards, and drove his team forward in slippery conditions with 19 disposals.
