Rhyce Shaw has confirmed new recruits Aiden Bonar and Josh Walker will make their club debuts on Friday night.
North Melbourne will kick off the Marsh Community Series against the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium, with the former Giant and Lion set to play key roles.
Shaw also announced Majak Daw would make his return, after playing four games at VFL level in 2019.
Bonar logged big midfield minutes in last week's intraclub match and will again be stationed in that role on Friday night.
"He knows there's big competition in the midfield. We've got a really stacked group," Shaw said of Bonar.
"But I'm looking forward to see 'Bon'. He's done really well and fitted into our group really well.
"I thought he did some pretty good things (in the intraclub game). He's someone who's built up over the pre-season."
