North Melbourne will go into its first NAB Cup round on Friday night fielding close to a full-strength squad, with Leigh Adams the only exclusion from last year’s best 22.

The skillful midfielder has been left out of the 34-man squad which was submitted on Wednesday, after two-shoulder operations in the off-season.

New recruits Ben Jacobs (Port Adelaide), Daniel Currie (Sydney, SANFL) and Jordan Gysberts (Melbourne) have been named while Daniel Wells and Jack Ziebell have been cleared by North medical staff after experiencing achilles and knee problems respectively.

Brent Harvey will have the chance to get some match fitness under his belt with a six week suspension coming into play when the home and away season begins on March 31.

With Brad Scott and the coaching panel able to change players around in the second match of the night, it’s not yet known what the exact lineups will be against the Demons and the Tigers.
