Jack Ziebell has been locked in as North Melbourne's tactical substitute against Hawthorn.
The versatile former skipper played the same role last weekend against Geelong, being activated in the first quarter to replace the injured Griffin Logue.
There are no late changes for the Marvel Stadium clash, with the Kangaroos to line up as selected on Friday afternoon.

Curtis Taylor, George Wardlaw, Liam Shiels, Josh Goater and Jackson Archer return to the team, with the latter to make his season debut.
Archer's selection will mark the first time all four of the club's father-sons - co-captain Luke McDonald, Bailey Scott, Cooper Harvey and Archer - will play together.
Logue (knee), Flynn Perez (knee) and co-captain Jy Simpkin (concussion) comprise the Roos' forced changes, while Hugh Greenwood and Charlie Lazzaro have been omitted.
