Charlie Lazzaro is a late out due to back tightness for Sunday's clash with the Saints, while Jack Ziebell has been named as North Melbourne's tactical substitute.

Replacing Lazzaro in the starting side is Dan Howe, who hasn’t featured at the senior level since Round 11 against Collingwood, when he collected 19 disposals and booted his first goal for the club.

Veteran Kangaroo Ziebell will fill the sub role for the third straight week.
