North Melbourne's VFLW side has made three changes ahead of its last home and away match of the season.
The Roos will face Collingwood for the second time in 2023 on Saturday afternoon, with their first clash going down to the wire at the AIA Centre back in Round 8.
With a win-loss record of 7-6 and in ninth spot on the ladder, North Melbourne will need to record a sizeable win over the Magpies while also requiring a string of results to fall its way throughout Saturday morning, in order to jump into a finals position.
Returning from a broken finger is Madisen Maguire, while co-vice-captain Brooke Slaney and Paige Ryan will make their season debuts.
A foot injury and subsequent rehabilitation has seen Slaney miss almost all of the campaign, while Ryan, who will play her first game in the royal blue and white, has been previously sidelined due to a shoulder reconstruction.
Midfielder Jen Guy will be representing the Tasmania state team against Queensland this weekend and will miss the Collingwood clash.
Kayla Peake and Margie Purcell have been omitted.
