North Melbourne will head to Metricon Stadium with an unchanged line-up for its Round 5 clash with the Suns.
As flagged by Brad Scott, key defender Robbie Tarrant has been named following an ankle concern and will be a likely match up for the AFL’s leading goal kicker, Tom Lynch.
Lachlan Hansen, Kayne Turner and Aaron Mullett have been selected as emergencies.
The last time the sides met was in Round 14, 2015, and North went down to the tune of 55 points. Mason Wood, Daniel Wells, Luke McDonald and Ben Brown didn’t feature in that game, but will be welcome additions. Brad Scott also missed due to a back injury.
North will be looking for some revenge with the Gold Coast having defeated the Kangaroos on the last three occasions.
