North Melbourne has made two changes to its team ahead of Sunday's first home game of the season against Melbourne at Marvel Stadium.
As confirmed earlier this week, Jackson Archer (suspended) and Griffin Logue (hamstring) have both been ruled out.
Replacing the pair and making their season debuts are Toby Pink and Dylan Stephens.
Lining up at full-forward is Jack Darling, who will run out on the weekend for his 300th AFL appearance.
The veteran played 298 games and kicked 532 goals for West Coast before switching to the Kangaroos in the 2024 Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period.
One of Pink, Stephens, Will Phillips, second-gamer Jacob Konstanty or last week's substitute Darcy Tucker will fill the impact role when it's confirmed an hour before the bounce.
North Melbourne revealed on Thursday that it will honour official club Legends Keith Greig and Wayne Schimmelbusch across its home games at Marvel Stadium in 2025, with the ends of the ground to be named after them.
The northern end will be known as the 'Greig' end, and the southern end as the 'Schimmelbusch' end.
Greig and Schimmelbusch played 294 and 306 games, respectively, for the club throughout the '70s and '80s, including the club’s first-ever VFL/AFL premiership in 1975.
