Key-position player Ben McKay is among three inclusions into North Melbourne’s squad for the clash against St Kilda on Sunday.

McKay is the only Kangaroo from the 2015 draft crop yet to debut at AFL level, but could become the 13th new Shinboner this year if he’s named in the final 22.

A move down back has seen the youngster impress in recent weeks in the VFL, after spending much of his first two seasons at the club in an attacking post.

Captain Jack Ziebell could be back from a foot injury, while Jed Anderson hasn’t played since Round 13, but could get his chance having been named on an extended interchange bench.

At this stage, there are no omissions, with the final team to be announced at 5pm EST on Friday.
