North Melbourne will need to make at least one change heading into Sunday's clash with Collingwood at Marvel Stadium.

Youngster Wil Dawson suffered a high-grade AC joint injury in the win over West Coast in Perth and will be sidelined for the near future, opening up a spot in the starting 22.

Hardened veteran Hugh Greenwood was best afield in North Melbourne's six-point win over Coburg in the VFL and would be on the radar of senior coach Alastair Clarkson and the match committee.

He tallied 29 possessions (19 contested) at Arden Street Oval last Saturday, to go along with 13 clearances and eight tackles, both of which were game highs.

Mid-season pick-up Brynn Teakle clunked three contested grabs and booted a goal in his first game as a Roo and could be brought in for his first AFL appearance of the season.

Having not featured since the Round 6 loss to Hawthorn, Tyler Sellers has put himself back in the mix for a recall after kicking three goals and showcasing his power in the air for the reserves.

Charlie Lazzaro earned consideration for a call-up after grabbing a game-high 36 disposals against the Lions, while Will Phillips was used in a more defensive role but managed to hit the scoreboard and extract five clearances from 18 touches.

Riley Hardeman continued to flourish, notching 10 marks and 20+ disposals, but could find it difficult to break into an AFL side that triumphed in Western Australia.

Fellow defender Miller Bergman is available after overcoming a hamstring strain but is likely to make his comeback via the VFL.
