A four goal haul in the VFL has catapulted Majak Daw back into the senior team for North's match against the Bulldogs on Saturday night.
With Jarrad Waite out injured again with a niggling hip concern, Daw has been selected to form part of the Roos' three pronged tall forward line alongside Drew Petrie and Ben Brown.
It's the only change for North after it recorded its twelfth win of the season over the Saints last week. Waite booted two goals in that match, but struggled to play after aggravating a persistent hip injury.
Daw will come in for just his fifth game of the year with North set to jump the Dogs for seventh place on the ladder if it can secure victory at Etihad Stadium.
The Daw-for-Waite change is the only move the match committee has made, with Lachlan Hansen, Corey Wagner and Declan Mountfound all on standby on the emergency list.
