North Melbourne welcomes back a trio of injured players as it hopes to revive its VFL finals ambitions against Sydney in Round 16.
The Roos are fresh off the bye at Reserves level, having lost to the in-form Western Bulldogs in their last hit-out in Round 14.
Youngsters Wil Dawson (AC joint) and Blake Drury (knee) will make their returns from injury against the Swans, along with defender Zac Fisher, who missed last weekend's AFL win over the Gold Coast Suns due to a foot injury.
Will Phillips returns to VFL action after being omitted from this weekend's AFL team travelling to Sydney, while midfielder Tom Cappellari is this week's other inclusion.
First-year player Colby McKercher goes out of the team, having returned to AFL action. This week's other outs are mid-season draftee Geordie Payne, and VFL-listed players Sam Lowson, Will Lambert and Lachlan Wynd.
