North Melbourne has named an experienced lineup for its season-opener against St Kilda on Sunday.
The squad of 26, presented by The Wharf Hotel, includes debutant Josh Walker in the back half.
Jared Polec (foot), Jack Ziebell (calf) and Ben Brown (calf) have all overcome their respective pre-season injuries, to be fit at the perfect time.
The Roos have named a hard-hitting midfield, with the likes of Jed Anderson, Jy Simpkin and Ben Cunnington, alongside the class of Shaun Higgins and Polec.
Tristan Xerri and Aiden Bonar are in line for their first games in the royal blue and white, but will have to wait until the final team is announced at 5pm AEDT on Friday.
Majak Daw is also in the mix to make his return.
