North's midfield bolstered
Both Daniel Wells and Levi Greenwood are set to return on Sunday, strengthening North's midfield brigade.
Wells will play his first game since Round 5, while Greenwood missed the victory over the GWS Giants with leg soreness.
With Wells, Nick Dal Santo and Brent Harvey now able to play together, North's ball use should be a feature against Brendan McCartney's team.
Kayne Turner will be rested, while Aaron Mullett has been omitted.
Turner, the youngest player in the AFL, enjoyed a promising debut and will no doubt be given more opportunities in the near future.
Mullett was a late inclusion last week, but will need to prove himself at North Ballarat in order to earn a recall.
Mason Wood rounds out the emergency list and will have another chance to push his case for a senior debut on Saturday, when he lines up for Werribee in the ABC feature game.
