North Melbourne will be forced to make at least one change before heading to Tassie to take on West Coast.

An ankle injury sustained in the 13-point win over Richmond has ruled out winger Dylan Stephens for a week, leaving a gap to be filled by senior coach Alastair Clarkson and the match committee.

Rebounding back Zac Fisher has missed the past two games with a plantar fascia issue but if he can prove his fitness, he may be the first choice to replace Stephens.

Charlie Lazzaro extended his strong run of form in the VFL side's victory over Williamstown at DSV Stadium on Sunday and has earned consideration for a 10th senior appearance for the season.

The No.35 got to work on both ends, racking up 24 disposals and 10 score involvements, while also tallying a game-high 13 tackles.

Alongside him was veteran Hugh Greenwood who nabbed a goal from 23 touches to keep himself on the radar for a call-up.

Miller Bergman spent time on the wing against the Seagulls and is a chance to play his first AFL match since Round 10 after grabbing 16 disposals, eight marks and a goal.

Geordie Payne's tenacity inside forward 50 saw him finish with two majors from 10 possessions to put his name in the mix for a late season debut.

Finnbar Maley continued his push for a first AFL game after starring for the reserves with four contested grabs and two goals.

Defender Kallan Dawson (15 disposals, seven marks) is another tall option that could be called upon if the side needs some height to tackle to Eagles at Blundstone Arena.
