Changes could be on the cards following the Roos’ heavy loss to Hawthorn in Round 10.
Who would you bring into the 22 this week? Have your say in the comments section below.
Liam Anthony
After playing the first seven games of the year, Anthony has spent the last month in the VFL with North Ballarat and has impressed. In Round 5 he collected 23 possessions in North Melbourne's win over Gold Coast.
Matt Campbell
Campbell is a goal sneak in the forward 50 and a player whose role is to pick up the scraps left over by contests from the big men. Night games at Metricon Stadium tend to be scrappy affairs with heavy dew present so his skills at ground level could be valuable.
Ayden Kennedy
Given special praise by development coach John Lamont for his performance at the MCG in the Foxtel Cup, Kennedy has been impressive since he broke into the senior Werribee side. Continued strong efforts should have him edging closer to an AFL debut.
Brad McKenzie
Since his debut for North Melbourne, McKenzie's time at North Ballarat has seen him used predominantly as a 'quarterback', setting up attacks for the Roosters. While he has regularly displayed the skills which made him such a highly regarded junior, competition for spots on the half-back line is fierce and he might have to wait his turn.
Scott McMahon
McMahon has played the last two games for Werribee following a serious illness. His self-stated goal of a return to the senior side for Saturday night's outing is achievable.
Aaron Mullett
Another player capable of filling a spot across half back, Mullett is yet to start an interstate game in the 21 after being the substitute in both Round 2 and 6. Considering his career high of 20 possessions was against Gold Coast in Round 5, a recall is highly possible.
Cam Pedersen
Pedersen was best on ground for Werribee against Collingwood a fortnight ago playing a variety of positions. The versatility he could bring to the North Melbourne side puts him in contention for a recall.
Robbie Tarrant
Listed among the best players for Werribee in its Foxtel Cup win on Saturday, Tarrant has returned to top form after an extended spell out of the side. A second true key position forward would stretch the Suns' defence depending on the weather conditions.
Lindsay Thomas
Six goals in his most recent outing for North Ballarat demonstrated Thomas could be over the form issues which led to his demotion. Earlier this year he kicked three goals against Gold Coast as well as three goal assists, meaning he was involved in more than a third of North's total goals.
Ben Warren
After just one game for North Melbourne in Round 8, Warren has responded well to his second stint for Werribee by kicking six goals in his most recent match. While there are plenty of forward options performing well in the VFL, Warren's consistency could put him on top of the list.
From now until the end of the season, clubs have one spot on their senior list to promote a rookie. kangaroos.com.au looks at the eligible players here.
