Nathan Grima will miss his first game of 2013, left out of the North team with general soreness. The key defender had a standout game last week after shutting down dangerous port forward Justin Westoff, but is unable to take his spot in the Roos' side.
After a six-week build up, Brent Harvey's return has finally been confirmed with the veteran named in the 22-man team to take on the Western Bulldogs.
The club legend will play his 347th career game on Saturday at Etihad Stadium, and the first in his 18th season at Aegis Park.
Lachlan Hansen has been named as an emergency for the second successive week, with Aaron Black and Majak Daw keeping the key forward out of the side.
Robbie Tarrant has been left out once again with a lower leg issue.
Brad McKenzie and Kieran Harper round out the emergencies for Round 7.
