North is set to hit Brisbane with a new look forward line after Brad Scott and the match committee announced three changes to the side that was thumped by the Crows to the tune of 77 points last week.
Goal-kickers Mason Wood, Ben Brown and Robbie Nahas have been named at the expense of Sam Wright, Ryan Bastinac and Ben Jacobs.

Wood will play just his second game for the Roos while Brown returns to the team after a set of sensational finals performances last season. Nahas meanwhile has been rewarded with another chance at AFL level after being promoted from the Rookie list last week.
The Lions will be in for a fight with the Roos looking for redemption, and are already without their captain Tom Rockliff and full-back Daniel Merrett for the encounter on Sunday at Etihad Stadium.
