Majak Daw will settle back into North’s backline against Richmond after overcoming a foot complaint. 

The inexperienced, but super-impressive defender replaces an injured Ed Vickers-Willis, after missing last week’s game against Sydney with a foot injury.

At the other end of the ground, a freshened-up Jarrad Waite will return, taking the spot of rookie Cam Zurhaar. Waite was “rested” last week as a proactive measure to maintain his superior output throughout the rest of the season.

Zurhaar has instead been named as an emergency alongside Luke Davies-Uniacke, Paul Ahern and Nathan Hrovat.
