Big man Tristan Xerri will make his long-awaited North Melbourne return as the VFL team faces Coburg at Piranha Park on Sunday.
The ruck is among five inclusions along with club champion Ben Cunnington and fellow AFL-listed players Aaron Hall, Blake Drury and Jacob Edwards.
Xerri, 24, has not played at any level since undergoing surgery on his right ankle in March. He suffered a syndesmosis injury in the AFL team's Round 1 win over the West Coast Eagles.
Cunnington, 31, returns to the VFL this week after being named as emergency for last weekend's AFL match against Greater Western Sydney.
VFL-listed players Sam Tucker, Alex Noblett, Ben Bath, Nick Hodgson and Cooper Keogh are the omissions from last week's thumping win over Greater Western Sydney.
You can live stream the match via AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App.
