Brad Scott and the North Melbourne match committee have elected to stick with the Round 1 team that lost to Collingwood, making just one forced change.
Scott McMahon will replace Sam Wright (knee injury), leaving Levi Greenwood, Taylor Hine and Majak Daw as the emergencies.
Scott Thompson and Nathan Grima will hold the fort in the defensive 50, likely matching up against Tom Hawkins and James Podsiadly.
Through the middle Andrew Swallow again leads the way after his stellar performance against Collingwood, backed up by Jack Ziebell, Daniel Wells and Ben Cunnington.
After quiet outings on Sunday, the triple towers of Drew Petrie, Robbie Tarrant and Lachlan Hansen will be deperate to bounce back against Geelong’s quality back six.
