Prized pick Zane Duursma will line up against AFL opposition for the first time when North Melbourne takes on St Kilda in Sunday's AAMI Community Series clash at RSEA Park.
Duursma, the No.4 pick in the 2023 AFL Draft, missed last week's 34-point match simulation win over reigning premier Collingwood due to knee soreness.
The young forward is joined in the 26-player squad by Bailey Scott, Darcy Tucker and Hugh Greenwood, who have all overcome their recent minor injury niggles.
